Need a little help......

I'm just the opposite. I catch crappie up there on most every trip but I rarely catch a walleye! It's a great lake to fish. I'm curious as to what the side imaging will look like in 30-100 feet of water.

Paint can be used to zoom crop and point stuff out but the impression of actually "inhancing" it is not done. The shot that comes off the card is what you have.

this can be seen in a earlier shot I posted then went into paint to get a zoomed shot of structure. I would think that if a shot was made to look like something that was not good to begin with would be altered to give a fails shot. Paint is a great tool in scouting when used with HV and HumPC.

Low if I gave that impression then I apologize.

As as shallow as that is and with having more than one I would lean toward someone not know where the trim button was lol

Slabbacks, shallow means nothing. There are regularly people running wide open with anything from 5 hp up to 250 hp. Reelfoot is notorius for claiming several lower units every year. I am actually one of the very few that drops off plane in that area.

Maybe someone could explain the use of Humviewer and Humminbird PC to arkcrappie (and to me!). I think they take recordings and snapshots from sd card and put them on these software programs. From there all of your unit controls (zoom, pallette, sensitivity, contrast, etc) can be changed on your computer. I think lots of detail comes from the computer that isn't able to be seen on the water....at least I think that's how these guys who are really good are doing it.

Ark I've always said that lake would come off the bucket list some day but I also think the unknown and the stories of loosing a lower unit has held me back. I've seen some great px come from up there...ice cover...glass...to the wind making it look like the east banks. With my luck if I went, you next shot would show several more cuts in the mud and a nice shot of a lower unit

Just don't run wide open over there unless you are positive about where you are!! I run a 70hp motor and there are places I run full out, and many more I idle. Lot's of structure to hit in the right places. PM me if you ever head that way and I'll give you all the help I can.

Humminbird PC is navigation data management...(it is a free program available in your HB account when you register your unit)...

Humviewer is a 3rd party sonar viewing program (for HB sonar) ...written by a guy from Denmark...
HumViewer

Humviewer has better tools for manipulating the recordings than playing the recording on the HB unit....

When I get to the point I have the SI unit figured out and decide to leave it, I'll make something permanent. I wish I had the luxury of fishing lakes that are not full of stumps. I just have to figure out how and where to mount the transducer so that I'm not buying 3 or 4 transducers a year. That could get expensive.

Pictures 1, 6 and 7 were taken on Reelfoot Sunday. Several of the stumps and logs are visible. I had some others I took while around some lily pads (lotus). Those showed up as hundreds of white dots. Here's a couple of shots that I captured just prior to getting into one of the ditches. I guess the deeper line is part of the old bayou that runs through the lake.

That is pretty neat... I'd say that's prop tracks from a mud motor since Reelfoot is a big duck hunting lake.
