I tried watching videos and searching, but could t find any good pictures of bass on side scan. I know what to look for on down scan, but would like to see some examples of what to look for. Thanks in advance.

Rice krispies is what bass look like on side scan. They�re going to look like a little rice shape, then you�ll see a very small gap between the fish and the ground and then you�ll see the shadow. Guaranteed fish. Unless they are absolutely glued to the bottom you won�t see the shadow but you�ll still see the little rice krispie. If there are fish on structure you would expect to see a bass on and you see that little rice krispie out to the side you can bet your bottom it�s a bass.

Now, I know that�s an HB unit but it�s very much a similar look on the HDS Gen 3 units. I would know, I run them. However, keep in mind that those rice krispies are probably muskies which are much bigger fish but that rice shape, then bottom of the lake, then shadow is the exact same look for bass just a little smaller.

If those are muskies that�s the motherload wolf pack of muskies! What are the coordinates

I would think muskies look like gar on sidescan. Those ain't muskies

wow, great imagery! I don't ever get anything that nice out of my HDS3.

Whatever they may be, I just pulled this image from a video and the fella said muskies. Regardless of what those fish are the return on side scan is the matter of topic.

Same thing here. I think HB has much better screen resolution for side-scan and down-scan than does Lowrance.

I have never seen that many muskies in one spot. I would think Musky would be a longer shadow than shown in that picture.

Here's some bass on Fork with a lowrance unit. Taken by Lee Livesay

I can't get anywhere close to that kind of picture on my hds 12 carbon units

Most likely your transducer location or some sort of interference.
