Hi everyone,
New to the forum, and have already learned Alot from you guys prior to joining.
So on my home lake in central texas (Lavon Lake), most of the lake is filled with flooded timber. The north end is covered with it and fairly shallow (5-10ft), the south end is the main body of the lake and still has submerged timber but the depth ranges from 10-40ft. I'm struggling to locate the timber and brush piles in the deeper water say 20-40 ft even with down imaging. I've played with the sensitivity and contrast, even the sharpness while scanning a tree that I can see the top of in 18ft of water. I've narrowed my side view down to 30 ft and can still only get a faint shadow. Keep in mind that this timber has been submerged for years so I would imagine it's pretty water logged. Any suggestions?
So far the only way that I have been able to locate the timber/brush is that when I make a pass, the crappie are stacked to the tree so tight that they actually form an outline of the tree with their bodies on the screen. Took me a minute and a few jigs to figure out that they were holding to a tree.
Any help would be appreciated. I'll try to get some screen shots up as soon as I can.
