Eric,

Finally got it! WOW! Man I am looking into upgrading my graph either btwn a X-28 or one of those. I have been waiting on you to get it so I can check it out. What do you think so far?
I am going down to the shack this wkend, are you going down?

How long ago did you take those off your graph? The reason I ask is because of the water temp. is that cold, I will probably Trophy Blue it instead of striper/hybrid fish. MMMMMM 40lb blues- lets go!

I took the pictures last sunday, the surface temp was actually 39 degrees early morning. I got a 32 pound blue but I was doing more looking around with the new graph than anything. I like it real well, the gps capabilities are almost as neat as the side imaging. I will probably be up there on mid day saturday and I plan to hook up with some big blues sunday. Give me a call.

P.S. Please send bait!

I will give you a call tomorrow after work.

E,

Congrats on the new top of the line Depth Finder, I cant seem to make my wife come around on that one yet so I will have to live it through your pictures, looks like a sweet unit and please post anymore good pictures you find.

Hummingbird has a winner with that unit! I saw a demo at the boat show and was very impressed. Enjoy it ewilson.

Man those are some sharp images. I really liked the unit but like js, couldn't convince the wife I NEEDED it. Like the other guys said please send more pictures when you get them.

One cool thing for me is I am going to their factory next week and give some training on our equipment they have there. I saw their name on our calender and emailed my manager and said put me down to give the training. I was thinking maybe they might have 1 or 2 of these units just laying around that need to be tested out. LOL

Those are some good looking pic. I have a question. Where is the transducer at? I have heard that it can be knocked off very easily.

If you would like to see MORE Side Imaging examples from users go to:

Yahoo Side Imaging Forum

It has side imaging snap shots from all different kinds of fishing environments.

Hey ewilson, What unit is that exactly? Several are mentioned on yahoo but you dont say what you have? Thanks

Hey Chad and Eric good luck with the blues this weekend. Looks like a nice graph Eric.

The unit I got is the 797c2si. As far as the transducer getting knocked off easily, the transducer has to be mounted low enough that nothing interferes straight out from either side so you end up mounting it lower than you would a normal straight down shooting transducer. It has been a bit of a challenge to mount on my boat but some boat hulls are easier than others. It's like learning to read a graph all over again but I think with time it will prove to be an invaluable tool for putting more fish in the boat. This unit just might put a dent in viagra sales.

It paints a pretty picture and I'm glad you like it...
Sounds to me they gave up some physical functionality for imaging sake.

I'll stick to Lowrance/Eagle products. They opened my eyes to real underwater imaging.

Fish on!

Congrads on the new unit. I've got a 997 SI Combo on order right now through BPS.

Transducer placement is key of course but I've been studying it and may even use 2 transducers. One for the sidescan and another for higher speed running.

They talk all about such on the yahoo users forum mentioned above.

I guess if putting your transducer 3 inches lower is giving up physical functionality. But I can now answer your question "where do they go when they're not there?".
