Default Humminbird 987c SI Side Imaging

Ordered a new Depthfinder yesterday. Its the Hummingbird 987c SI Side Imaging GPS Wide Screen Fishing System.
Shows the bottom as it would be in a picture without water. If there's a log pile you see a log pile. If its a stump you see a stump, Log, Sunk boat, Rocks. Fish.
Had one guy tell me that he could see the droppers on a trotline in 20ft of water.
Now it will be great to see log pile. and I hope a 50+ blue or flathead laying there. They say when its on the standard dpethfinder mode in color you can see the bait in the water under the boat.
Hummingbird's website shows a lot of pictures of in being used and they are snapshots of what is was seeing under water.
It will cover 240ft left and right of the boat. So that will allow the user to cover vast amount of water in a short time.
Switch it to standard mode and its color Dpethfinder or split he screen and have sidescan on one side and color d/F on the other. Also is a GPS so if you see a log or place you would like to fish. Just mark the spot and go back to it.

Also allows you to save pictures and see them at home on a SD card in the PC.
I hope to have it mounted and in use at the Cumberland River Fish & Camp. And will give a review after a few weeks of use. It was high, but if its half as good as they tell everone it will be well worth it.

Pete

Pete,

Time permitting I would like to get on your boat for a tad to see that baby in action, I'm mainly a Lowrance guy but I do have the Matrix 67 with a Lowrance running together, there is a spot just down river along a rock wall that I would like to get a picture of, Whistler and a few others know the spot, would like to see what the unit shows, just maybe another spot would be where the tractor is in the water also............Doc
