make a different log for each spot you go to. Vs 1 long log. 2015-03-30 pass to gulf 2 track 1. |

Keep in mind the slower you are moving on the traditional sonar the longer the marks will be. So if you are holding still on top of a school of fish the returns will be elongated a good bit and might not even resemble a fish anymore.

Would that mean then that at higher speeds the fish returns will be like spots then elongated arches? I've been trying to utilize my garmin 498 sonar more and it seems like the returns are more like spots then arches. How does everyone have their scrolling setup?

Speeds higher than 5 mph, You screen will clutter up and you really can see anything but lines on the screen.
High ping speed all the time. And I think speeds btw 0 to 3 mph give a good fish arch return picture. That's what I gathered by looking at my sonar logs. Last edited by alphaman; 03-31-2015 at 07:50 AM. |

Ya I took my unit off of auto last trip and adjusted sensitivity as needed to get returns without to much noise. Fishing BL i've never paid to much attention to the sonar as the shallow water doesn't lend itself to giving much more then a bottom type. Trying to use it more though.

I mean it can't hurt lol. I would imagine the side imaging would be the bees knees for finding oyster beds or whatever. |

Take a picture of the screen with your fancy phone while it's happening.

Ive watched\studied all 37 sonar logs very closely that i have of vermilion bay and this is what I've noticed. Vermilion Bay is a very flat and muddy place to fish and what i noticed on by watching these sonar logs is these fish will hold on the SLIGHTEST CHANGE IN BOTTOM CONTOUR!

i have a lowrance hds 7 gen 2 touch. i have not been able to find a lot of help with how to use the structure scan properly. looking to use it obviously to find oyster reefs, structure or anything that might hold fish and obviously fish and schools of bait. hard bottom vs soft bottoms. if anyone has any advice i would appreciate it. would really like to use this tool more effectively. i typically fish in the marsh but will also fish in some areas that range from 10 to 30 feet this summer for trout. thanks

My side scan is the rotation of my neck left or right and the deep glare I give possible fish returns while eyeing them with my Costa BY GOD del mars!!!
no seriously my 498 is old. |

Here is a comparison picture of what I mentioned earlier. Vertical lines in sonar and white dots in down scan images. Bigger the white dot/snow flake, bigger the fish. The speed in this pic is 11mph
