Fish-finder Displays Views


Fish-finder Displays

Some of the fish finders give you a choice of the down scan image that is below your boat.  The down scan image gives you what depth and the topography of the bottom. It will let you see things sticking up from the bottom. Fish images show up as an actual size in relation to tree branches and other objects.

The 2D image display that you can view of the down scan is not as sharp but it lets you see the fish better in relation to objects. The fish images are enhanced and they are not actual size, but they stand out better.
If you are using the finder for depth navigation the first display is better, for fishing the 2D has an advantage to see where they are.

If you have a side scan unit, the side scan lets you know how far away from the boat objects are. The depth of things is not easily determined on this scan view.

If you have a unit that has all three displays, you can get an accurate view of the water around you. An now you can get 360 degree imaging from the Humminbird 360 degree imaging systems. With this you can see where fish are hiding. It is almost unfair to the fish.
