Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | TJ- I really can't see how you can say Lowrance is better than Humminbird. Actually, it's probably a wash! Where are the HB's side by side's? - Probably can't happen because of interference. The choice is really probably going to come down to personal preferences. There is no doubt this new technology is changing fishing. HB was here first w/SI and and Lowrance came out w/down image first, but even that is also highly questionable as HB is sueing them..... To me it's all a matter of perspective. It's also a matter of learning to interpret what you are seeing on the screen.
I laugh when guy's say Lowrance was here first - I have an HB fasher! Who was first with flasher's? They are all good, if you understand them!
In late Oct 2007(you were at that MF outing) I was fishing with Spencer Berman on a lake to be named in Northern WI with my HB 997SI, and we went over a mid-lake hump and I told Spence - "that's a good muskie" . I turned the boat around and came back over the spot. Spence casted his 2 lb'r bulldawg out and had the fish up on the first or second cast - an accident? You ask Spencer! Actually I think I said to Spencer when we went by the fish: "That's a 4' fish!" - I don't think it was an accident.
Embrace the technology, and learn to use it!
Have fun!
