    i use the inverted v signal on my lowrance unit and not the fish id. if you are anchored or moving very slow, the fish will show up as horozinal lines instead of inverted v's. once i get anchored i cut the unit off. i dont need it while im anchored. if your unit is still showing the bait balls and individual fish signals under them, then id say its game fish hung under the bait, preying on the bait.

    this past saturday at wateree i had one or two of those lines appear, and dissapear with the same angle, so i figured it was fish coming up and feeding on the bait above em.

    Baitfish usually look like a cloud on mine and larger fish get targeted usually under the bait.

    one of the fishermen on tv was using one of the humingbird units yesterday. it was neat at the things it was picking up.. It was showing tires on the bottom and there wasnt no doubt about what it was marking.

    Rango I believe those were crappie, But we did not catch any fish out of it. That part was my fault. LOL

    Frank that log is straight under the boat. The line in the middle is where the boat has traveled. And from there to the left and right blue color is water. Then that log showing on both sides is what you get when going straight over a object.
    So if you look at the standard image on the left. That is the standard unit like everyones . But then the right is the same view. The side imaging unit shoots straight down and out So your still looking to the bottom, And then out the side That picture I have the unit set on 56ft out each side.

    And Yes when you move the cursor over to mark say a log. at the top of the picture it tells you how many feet to the side it is from the boat. And also how far behind the boat it is.
    The marker on this shot is 75ft out from the right side of the boat ( Only shooting out from one side in this one) and when I marked it. The boat was 257 ft past the spot.
    This shot is of a hole in the Tn River, AS you can see logs everywhere. And drops and humps. It near the bank and also on a big flat.(Boat is within 20ft of the bank. been running by it for years and did not know its there. Its on an inside bend.

    i took this photo showing what electrical interference looks like on a sonar. this unit is hooked up with the transducer on the troller motor. a little bit of a change in the speed cleared it right up, as shown in the second photo
