Sonar screenshots.

I thought I would post up some sonar screenshots from the last few trips I’ve made.

2D sonar on Cold Lake, fishing for lake trout.

School of walleye on Mega 360. Bottom screenshot was 2 min before the top, so you can see the school changed locations as I was bottom bouncing. I steered the electric accordingly and picked up a couple fish as a result.

Side Imaging showing a few fish 20-30 feet to the right. The white specks to the left of the black shadows are actually the fish. Distance between the white speck and the black spot is the height the fish is off the bottom. This is helpful to determine if the fish are relating to bottom or higher in the water column.

Hope these help folks new to sonar interpret what they are seeing.

Very cool tech once you have it dialed in.

Interesting, thanks for sharing that.

Man, might just be the quality of the pic but the "white" marks are very hard to see on the side imaging. How does that look in person?

Nice explanation though and various modes / views. Great post :)

There are a number of color pallets to choose from (12 I believe) and you can adjust contrast and brightness as well. I adjust it for my eyes and the amount of sunlight/brightness, but that doesn't mean that it will be best for everyone. If the screenshot was taken in overcast conditions I would have the brightness turned down so it wouldn't be quite as pronounced.
