52* out today and no ice so took the 898c si out today.
I have poor eyesight and screen is a liitle small. I am building a pedestal to raise it up and move it closer to help that problem.
Screen was bright and clear.
The side imaging is amazing. Seeing and being able to follow the creek channel was most impressive. Saw fish and school of baitfish in the channel too. Now I know why I always catch fish there
Not thrilled with the 2d and downimaging modes but i'm sure thats just me. I believe I need to play with settings and get used to it. I am so used to my Lorance greyscale and am confident what I am seeing with that.
GPS worked well and was easy to use. The whole unit seems easy enough to use. Overall I am very happy with it. I'm sure once I use it more I will understand everything better.
They Lake I fish has virtually no weeds. Max depth is 70' and I normally fish bank to 30'. I only use it at trolling motor speed which maxes at 2mph so usually scanning at 1mph or so. I have side set to 100' now.
Any setings anyone can reccomend other than default that may help me out and also Si scroll speed? And my normal 15-20' depth i fish which transducer(s) do I choose?
I will figure out screenshot and recording next time out.
Thanks....Bill
