Fishfinder Setting

Do you normally set your fishfinder to display fish symbols?

  • No - I prefer the sonar-defined ticks and arches.

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • Yes - The ticks are difficult to discern, and the "arches" don't show up very often.

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • Yes - I like the little fishy pictures.

Hi Joe -

The older I get the more I like color! Have a neat little Humminbird unit with two heads, one color, one mono. The color unit wins big-time. I can see it clearly in any light and keep the other unit for backup. The color scale showing signal strength of a return is a big help too... when I get a red arch I've gotta pop a pill :wink:

Bottom line - go color!

Dusty-

Thanks, I'll invest some more time learning how to use the unit.

"Bottom line"-- isn't that the name of one brand of FF?

Joe.
 
Just as a simple excercise I used the Lowrance emulator to try to show the difference...

Also, after playing with a Lowrance 337c last Sunday on the Tulalip Bubble I agree with Dusty, Color is the ONLY way to go!
 
Gary!

Don't do that again. Glory be -- my pulse just went off scale seeing those beautiful arches. Oooooohhhhhh.

I actually saw 1 or 2 arches like that on Sunday. But nothing like the number on the demo! Sure would love to see that though!
 
The technical talk was great (and helpful)...but besides just liking the fishy pictures, I set my Lowrance GPS/DEPTH and FISH FINDER on the "song" setting. With different sized echoes producing different songs (bigger echoes - lower tunes), one can get a symphony if there are a lot of fish (or whatever is there). Besides, when ever a "song" plays, every- one yells "FISH!!".

P.S.
My apologies to the real fishermen!!
