Best I can do for the moment are a couple of screenshots. Deepest point of the feature is 196 feet.
Also a 2D screenshot of the feature.

You may have the Si depth record!
Hi Greg,
Can you elaborate on this please? Do you mean that the Si shows the bottom trace as seen in the 2D view, but is not actually 'seeing' the bottom itself?
Recordings are very poor from this trip, Possibly due to heavy blue-green algae in the Lake- a bit like looking through a net curtain! It's difficult to say what's bottom and what's not, as the Lake floor is absolutely featureless silt in this area and there seems to be no difference between the picture I was getting at 60 feet and the picture at 196 feet!

I was just meaning that that may have been the deepest that I have seen a Humminbird Si unit show any image of the bottom (I am assuming that the picture from HummViewer is showing this) even if it is just a trace.

IRC,

Doh! That's me being dense. I blame three weeks back at work after the Summer recess! Hopefully I'll get some more time in the deepest parts of the Lake when there's less algae in the water over Winter and see of I can find anything recognisable apart from the geography.

Those are some great images. What I find very interesting is the rock formation and the strata shown under the surface in the 2d mode. Was the 50khz turned on?
Robert
The unit is set to default settings for evrything apart from range and sensitivity, so unless that's part of default, the answer is no. My only transducers are a pair of the standard transom transducers.
There didn't seem to be the same level of return from the rest of this area and I'm very curious about this rock formation, as it's setting all my 'geographer' alarms off, as this is not normal in the bottom of a glaciated trough. Could this be man-made object? (I do actually have something in mind)
Regards,
Kevin

I first had to check my dictionary to see what that means.
I noticed that these strata are accompanied to all of my wrecks so far and I think it's a good indicator to decide if it's worth to dive in such a spot.
Here's a 2D shot of the kayak I salvaged yesterday

Holy smoke and stuff like that!

That's what I'm wondering. If this is a wreck, the only known vessel of this size is Kaiser Wilhelm II's yacht (not known if it was wooden or an iron steam yacht and probably won't be able to find out until I have the time to trawl through the newspaper archives next summer recess) This was deliberately sunk (probably in spite) in 1920.

Hi Harry,
You can probably add another couple of feet, as I don't set any offset for the transducers, which are near the bottom of the stern. Hoping to try for the deepest part of the Lake soon, which is supposed to be 220 feet, although I've seen 240 on my old depth gauge, which is spot on with the HBird. One of the char fishermen reckons he found a hole over 300 feet deep- now that would be something!
