Finding brush tops
« on: May 16, 2011, 11:35:13 PM »
Having a terrible time finding my brush tops on my SI. Got to use my sonar most of the time to locate them. Someone said they cant pick up brush with leaves still on them.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Slow the boat down, slow the chart speed down, decrease the Si Range and select a Color Palette that allows you to see the weaker sonar returns that a brush pile will have.
