Artie that is a great snapper. Just pipped me How are you finding the lowrance? Im thinking of one of the humminbird down imaging sounders that have the 2d sonar as well. The lowrance's are a bit easier onthe pocket and have neater fittings with the ram mount made specifically for them, but im a bit worried i might not be able to see bait/fish as well on the down imaging. Hence the sonar option for the HB.

hope I can get one that size this winter.

Mate you could have heard me from batemans bay when I got the fish onboard. I was rather excited

Bloody ring-ins.

You can be one too!

Yeah, isnt it just the best feeling (one of em any way...)?

This issue of fish id is the biggest stumbling block for lowrances DSI, my take is this.... baitfish balls are EASY to see, very.

But, so to are individual fish, its just that they 'blend' in to the background clutter which tends to hide them, as they use a dot or a line to indicate fish...see pic

I pulled 3 cod from the branch on the bottom after I took this shot. Can you see them? I feel that I can 'now', but, at the time, definately not... use will make the DSI much clearer to you.

Dont forget that many many of the fish id symbols you see really arent fish, just feedback or clutter or even weeds. I checked this with my Garmin one afternoon, hung off the side of the boat with a snorkel and mask and watched the screen and then looked down...almost ALL was weed drifting past...

I feel you are much better served to fish the structure, not the fish symbols... and in this strategy, there is nothing to equal the DSI, particularly for the dollars they are asking. And Im not a Lowarance salesman..imagine if I was.... Im going back to the spot that THAT snap came from this weekend... there are a lot more there now...

When you're done can you please send that spot up to Malabar as it's my closest offshore fishing spot.

Thanks in advance.
