Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hiya!!
I've not been one to pick up any fishing magazines, but I picked up the latest issue of Muskyhunter magazine and the article on side imaging got me a bit interested in it again. I asked last year about the use, and what I am really curious to see...are any pictures you have taken of things underwater...
What pictures have you on side imaging? Let's see em!! Interesting objects, FISH, whatever is of interest that you found on side imaging...

| I’ve got it but like a lot of other guys don’t know how to use or interput it. ?? |

Location: Duluth | my good buddy uses it mainly in fall for locating schools of cisco. We are too impatient to roll by spots and side scanning. |

| It’s a great tool to accurately mark rock and weed structure.
It is also great for finding bait in the Fall on L. St. Clair.
It is amazing for smallies Erie.
I am sold on it and have actually caught muskie I marked on it too.
I don’t troll but it would be even better for that as it gives good images at 2-5mph. |

| There is a deeper hole in an otherwise fairly shallow channel between two lakes on the small chain where I live. Last year I decided to use a mag bulldawg like a jig as I drifted over the hole. This was early in the season and my old sonar had not shown anything in the hole. Well, right away I got snagged but I could move it by pulling hand over hand up to the boat. Some panfisherman must have decided to create a little brush pile and started it with an 8' Christmas tree. No doubt that was what it was, you could see the neatly trimmed branch ends. I got the dawg back and let the tree drop back in the 14' hole. A week or so later I slowly went past on the edge of the hole and there was that tree now standing just about vertical, plain as day. Got to remember to go back this spring and see if there are any crappie hanging out there. |

And there are specific places to ask equipment questions to as these are only for pictures |

Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Very cool!! In your last picture, are you going over a sand flat and that is bait in the water? The bottom looks like it is wavy...
How long did it take you to set your graph for that detail? Solix series?
Thanks!! |

Yes That is a wavy bottom with loads of bait in the fall. Hit a 38" about 10 mins after this image was taken. Didn't take long at all to have dialed in...made a few minor adjustments to the unit but not much from stock settings. That is Helix 10 Mega I couldn't be happier with the Units!! have the SI unit at Console linked to The DI unit at the Bow....Have the high speed transducer too just need to install it....have the wide transducer attached to trolling Motor terrova... |

Location: 31 | Maybe the wavy bottom is the boat going up and down from a little chop on the water... |

I would maybe think that but the image to the right isn't wavy at all...so Im thinking its actually a wavy bottom....only wavy of left side not right side |

I'm thinking propeller blade interference, from the propeller actually reflecting the outgoing sonar pulse with perfect periodicity? You'd only see that on one side... and the "shadow" (the dark bars which we see here) would extend all the way on that side. And since the blade is spinning and the sonar pulsing, it wouldn't be constant, but periodic.
If you see it again, try raising the motor higher and see if it goes away.

Resizing an image to 640X480 is too hard? What's the issue? |
