Here’s what I’m talking about. In the picture is from a recording I made at slabfest in February. I was in 30ft. of water and you can see plenty of fish. You can also see my 1/6oz. jig go down to the bottom and back up. Also I had three jigs in the rod holders at 15 ft. witch you can see. If I had my unit set from 25 to 30 I’d be about to tell if they were male or female….Just kidding…What I’d like to know is can I get about the same definition from a hummingbird? I use my sonar to the max. If I’m in 15ft. or deeper I don’t put lines out until I see fish.
I’ve been on yahoo for about six months and have a bps ten mins. from the house. I play will the 997 display all time. I’ve also talked to hummingbird three times.
One good thing I found out is that hummingbird has software to convert you waypoints to their unit. That’s a good thing. I have over 1800 waypoints cauterized to the lake they are in. That will make for an easy transfer to a new unit.
My lcx-20 has been acting up since May and has been sent back three times. The first two times they had a 10 day turnaround. Witch they did nothing. This time I got hold of someone that says it will be taken care of even if they have to send me a new unit. Their service has not been the same since Lawrence sold out about a year ago. I fish three days a week so it is really used and nine months is fishing deep.
All I hear is how great the side imaging is and I believe it. But, no one ever mentions the sonar. I have an aqua-view that I like to look under docks with. I can spend all day looking and get home and my wife will ask wares the fish. OOPS. I’m not looking for another toy but a tool.
Hay, thanks for your comments. Sonar is a question that does not seem to get addressed. I know there is going to be a new leaning curve.
