Thanks Guys, Yeah I thought about the fish being higher this time of year. The first 5-10 feet was all 'noise' for me depending on my particular settings. Also, I don't think mine has the structure scanning, I think that is the step up from the HDS. Anyway, I suppose I can play with the different fishing modes and noise, clarity settings but do you guys prefer the 83 or the 200 kHz? I had it on 200 by default but thinking 83 is the way to go? I was also expecting to see my lead core lines but didn't. Perhaps this was because I was on the 200 frequency? In any event, being new to sonar/gps, I am amazed at what I was missing. You gotta have it. :-)
