Anyone try these out or have any tips with using them? This is my first time so i dont wanna screw anything up...We'll see about that.

if YOUR NOT SURE how to use it, can you not set it on auto and watch the screen, see what it does, maybe learn something that way.
I'm on my second one already and I really like them. But I find that anything that breaks the beam shows up as a fish, wether it be a stump, a bubble or anything else.
I only use mine as a depth finder, not a fish finder. I like to be able to see what type of bottom it is and if there are any weeds.
I mainly fish for walleye, so I have my preferred depths, depending on the time of year, and time of day, body of water. I also catch different species of fish in that depth.
