fish finder question

[Ken Lyons]

When you cram large amounts of data onto a small screen detail is lost. If you use bottom lock you can often eliminate much of what you don't care about and see what you do in far greater detail. The same goes for SI. Shorter distances will display better. Too, bigger screens are better. The detail can be there but it gets buried under all that data.

7" was about the biggest i was going to get. i hate technology...you can never quite spend enough money to stay with the curve...

I tinkered with mine a bit on Saturday after the bite died down. Definitely night and day difference in a deeper water (>10+ vs <4'). The SI was super clear. Still have to go slow (<4mph) to get clearer images but I totally see what all the rage is about. Found a nice submerged rocky point.

Agree with the tech curve, all the tech in the world isn't going to catch the fish. I just don't see the need for dual > 9" ff on the bow and console, 360 degree scanning, dual shallow water anchors, etc.
