The first pisture was an old boat that I stumbled across, the second was an old pick up truck. Thought they were pretty cool. EB
I bet you can find houses and such under there as well since this was a man-made lake.
When I saw the second pic, I thought you were messing with us. The red looks like a hat so I thought it was one of those "Elf on the Shelf" sort of funny pics.
I just found this same type of thread on TexasFishingForum.com yesterday. It was under the "Crappie" threads, so very applicable! It goes back a few years and has lot's of pics and explanations. Great idea to have one on here, too!
Link for anyone interested... Post your Crappie graph pictures here | Crappie Fishing | Texas Fishing Forum
Interesting to see how fast the technology advanced in the thread over the past couple of years.
Here's a few!
Any guesses what this is? Hint I don't know!

Just something cool!

redge, my eye cant read bird language! looks like parrot talk to me!! haha
First time I've uploaded a pic and didn't understand this system doesn't show the pic while you are still trying to enter text. Thought I'd made an error or didn't understand how to do it correctly....guess that was the only mistake, thinking I'd made a mistake...happens regularly with me!
I couldn't see what I had downloaded so forget the first image.
The second one was a shot taken the first trip out with 'spotlight'. You can see why I'm not real fond of it in the second pic. I'll try to add another now.
My second pic above shows a school of sand bass, as I recall. The center pane shows them pretty well. Spotlight now so much.
The bottom pic shows brush pile with crappie hanging all around it. I know cause I caught some of them.
Tell me more at the Winter Camp!
The new technology is amazing. How deep will the side imaging show?
The question should be how far will it show. I run mine set at 60'. That is like a slice of water extending 60' out to the left and right
side an 60' deep. Think of a slice of water like a semicircle. I don't recall how far you can set it but, it's a couple oh hundred feet.
For all of our lakes, I think 60' is all you would ever need.
One more detail added to Okie Bob's info. If you are in deeper than 60 foot of water you have to scan further than the 60 '. Winter time I usually run 125' on both sides of the boat. Because of water depth. If I am working in shallower water I like 60' also.
Redge is right on. If you were in over 60' of water, I think you'd have a blank screen??? (assuming you are set to 60' SI) You'd get no returns at all unless maybe there were fish in the area. But, no bottom at all. I've never tried that. Actually never fished in water that deep except offshore.
Pic of rampid crappie! We camped on these for 3 hrs!
How do you see the pics if it just says attached images?
WOW! Ledge, you think those are all crappie?
there is shad worked in them, but yes, we caught lots of fish from that school. You can see a couple sticks sticking up, but that is all the structure they were relating too.
Great screen shot Ledge! I'm guessing you are up north as the water temp shows 43. Was out on Texoma most of the day putting out brushpiles and the water temp down here is still 50 degrees.
How many did you catch off that one spot? Just curious.
OK you guys are not helping lol I can't see the pics when it says images attached what do I do to fix that
Hopefully someone will respond, I can't help you with your problem.
Problem solved works on desktop view
Ledge- best screen shot ever! Send sleeping meds- can't sleep now.
Here is one of the more recent shots I have from Kaw Lake. Several good fish close to the bottom was caught. Attachment 181562
That is a great screen shot, swollencrappie, one of the best I've seen. Of course, it's an HDS by Lowrance!
Were you able to catch any of them?
Here is a shot I took on Keystone of a small amount of brush that was loaded with Crappie and Shad and a shot of some concrete structure on bottom and fish schooled up next to it. Love how electronics have advanced.

Okie Bob, I did catch some good keepers. Not enough to get a limit, but think that day was 21. had to have Dr Nip make me some larger weedless jigs, the ones I had were having heck getting to the bottom with the wind that day.
Hey, Josh.
That lower picture kind of has a double image. Kinda looks like that guy Kilroy, who was always peeking over the wall.
If you don't get the post, Josh, just ask Bob (it's from the old geezer days).
I believe BigSky has declared war!
Actually, Kilroy was a WWII thing I think. But, I do remember him. He was everywhere back in the day.
I'll be looking for this:ThumbsUp at 'Hugo' too. EB,,, notice my screen shots don't have GPS coordinates.:biggrin:biggrin:biggrin<*)}}}>< Attachment 181577
These outfits are totally amazing, but I have always passed on getting high-tech doodads. However, I am saving up for the ultimate doodad. When I get too old (or decrepit, which is what my wife calls me)to cast, I intend to get a doodad with underwater camera, an underwater drone that swims to the fish, pries open it's jaws, inserts the hook, sets it, and lands it. Don't misunderstand, I don't have any sympathy for those poor fish in a barrel.:santa
Cane Pole built one of these doodads. He is a retired engineer for NASA and has created many things to help with fishing. From building an RC pontoon boat that would catch fish to making a gps system for any trolling motor to connecting a JOYSTICK to use when guiding his TM on his "Pondtoon" boat. Find him in the electronices section of C.C
Chatt - gonna show the vastness of my ignorance here but can you tell me just what we are looking at here? Huge school on a sheer drop off with a few stick ups? Canyon gully with stick ups on both sides? Help me out here please. Whatever it is I like it a lot!
Looks like a creek channel with sticks and schools of fish. It's one of those images the HDS Touch system shows you, and when you look at it from above, your first thought is Holy Moly, and then you're....
1. Marking that spot by merely touching the area you wish to mark and saving it.
2. Tossing out a marker bouy then frantically grabbing your rod.
3. If they are actively feeding, enjoying a good day of catching!
Coming across something like Chatt posted is exactly WHY I splurged for the HDS 9 Touch. It was way out of my budget, but well worth it. I use an older 520 c that IkenI had, on the TM up front to confirm the spot with 2d sonar. I have external antennas for both units set as close to directly above the transducers as possible.
Attachment 181795 Here's a bridge piling
Thanks Reaper. I'll bet you're right. I can see the creek channel with trees growing on both sides. It looks so good I instinctively grabbed for a marker buoy.
