I upgraded my sonar at the beginning of this year. I’ve found that I like the down image more than 2d sonar. You can almost count the fish. It’s also easier to tell game fish from a bait ball. The bait balls just looks like clouds instead of individual fish. Anyone else having similar experiences? This is a pic from today for reference. I’m no expert and I don’t have a Garmin, but this looks to me like your sensitivity on the 2D needs to come down. One of the benefits of chirp is that it should separate targets better. But even without being on chirp seems like this is a really washed out picture so to speak. Your down imaging looks great though.

I will say that the fish were stacked though and it doesn’t usually look like that with 2d.
