    Default Crappie Pics From Lowrance HDS Touch for Newbie?


    Relatively new to crappie fishing, just over the past couple years. I am also a new Lowrance HDS Touch user (former Humminbid user for a long time) so I am trying to get a handle on what type and size of fish I am looking at on my screen. I was wanting to know if anyone on here has some good pics they could share of crappie using a Lowrance HDS Touch 9 or 12? I am trying to get a feel on my lowance as to what I should be looking for and help in recognizing what crappie look like on down imaging and side imaging, even a 2D sonar to compare them against if not too much trouble. Any help with some pics for reference would be greatly appreciated.

    Spend some time looking through the Down Imaging/Side Imaging forum. No one can really tell the species of fish on a scan, but dots all over and around a tree are usually crappie. Catching them is the best way to verify what you are looking at. There are tons of good quality pix from both H'bird and Lowrance there

    Here's on of crappie in a stake bed in about 7' of water. The bright white spots were fish in the stakes. They tasted good.

    Does slowing the ping speed down give better clarity on the DI? What about the auto range to off for clarity. I heard 3x would be a good start.
