I will say that when in the bass boat scanning we don't stop till we see fish but as you said when fishing out of the yak you can only paddle so far. I will need to spend more time playing with it I guess. I did not learn to read sonar in two fishing trips so it will come with time. Nice job on center hill BTW. it's been a long time since I was on that water catching spots like that.

Edit: I agree with you when you say that God willing you never have to hit the water without SI ever again. If you are not using it you are putting yourself at a disadvantage.

You're right on about arches. HB does not give as many true arches as others. Some think 2d sonar will eventually go away. I don't know. I do know the high dollar units in all brands are using digital displays and data.....a whole different animal than what we are using. I can see a PVC crappie house on mine but I have seen one on the HB Onix and difference is night and day. I really want the 12 inch Helix but I am thinking next years offerings are going to be breakthrough. So I may wait.....pretty happy with the 899.
