Arches are all about time and distance of a sonar echo. Do you understand why/how a LCR sonar unit "draws" an arch when it diplays stuff suspended in the water column? If not refer to the Lowrance web site and their sonar tutorial.

The same way you would if you were using spinning gear !!!!!!!!!!!!

There is another lake no one has mentioned, Nottoway Lake. It is closer to Richmond than Sandy River Res. or Briery Creek Lake. It is the smallest that allows up to a 10 HP gas outboard. Some standing timber and dollar pads.

No, there have been several plug type changes since that unit was made.

The most difficult part of it is routing the transducer cable. The best way to handle that is tie and tape a string to the current transducer cable at the plug--make that connection as straight as you can so it doesn't get hung up in the cable and wires in the hull, pull out the transducer cable, then tie and tape the new transducer cable plug to the string and pull it in. Tie another string to it before you pull in the new cable so you will have a pull string for any future installations.

I don't have any software update problems--done it may times on several units. Describe the procedure you followed for the update.

No, they won't. The transducer itself is tuned to 192 kHz and doesn't have a built in temp sensor. I used to have that unit.

You can make any unit portable. This is one of my setups for a Humminbird 1198c SI for use on other craft. The transducer mount is a former transom mount trolling motor shaft and bracket.

No, the boat was in 28.5 feet of water, the top of the dam is shallower and on the left side of the image. I don't remember the exact depth but it is about 10' The left side vertical narrow ridge that the beds are located on is the top of the dam and is on the far left side of the left half of the image. The black area to the left and right of the center line is the water column.

I agree. That unit is dual frequency. While the color display of the other Eagle is nice, I would choose performance over cosmetics. The Humminbird stick has the lowest resolution and would be excluded if I were making the choices.

I have fished it a few times. Many small bass and easy to catch. The last time I was there 4/23/2013, 3 of us caught about 50 bass in around 3 hours. There are spawing beds on the submerged dam.

No the SI transducer has to be on the exterior. So does the SS transducer.

For those that do not know, your setup is typical for high performance pad hull bass boats. I am at Lake Fork this week and every set up for Humminbird SI and Lowrance SS is the similar to yours. The boat I am fishing in has his SI transducer in the center of his hole shot plate. He is using the Y cable and shoot thru 2D transducer. It is a Triton.

You are getting echos from the inside of the left side of the jackplate. A holeshot plate will prevent it if you find those lines objectionable

Do you have a holeshot plate on you jack plate? Those lines are on SI also. You will see them on the left side of the center line if you set the SI range to less than 50 feet.

Top speed is about 12mph. Best images 0-6 when installed to do so and adjusted properly. The slower the better. The thin imaging pulse has to be on a subject as the screen is scrolling so it can be recorded.

He stated it was on his jackplate. Do you know what that is?

Propwash is impossible with your installation unless you have the motor in reverse. What you have is no water on the transducer when you are getting the black streaks. That is caused by going too fast with the mount location you have.

The wacky rig isn't a big fish bait??? I guess the numerous 8#-10# class bass I have caught with it didn't know that.

I'll send you a PM of a resourse for what you want to do.

Thanks, I am very familiar with Fork during this time of year. My best tournament fish there is 10# 5 oz. I took this picture a couple of years ago, when the water level was lower, of a skeg broken off in a stump.

Sam already mentioned how to find those areas------GMCO MAP

10# 7 ounces on March 15th 2013 with a Chatterbait. I had caught a 9-9 about an hour earlier on the same lure, same general area, and same pattern.
