I have been working on a Understanding StructureScan and Interpreting the display DVD and I will share some good stuff I found as I searched my library.
DownScan
I use the DownScan as a splitscreen with sonar because they each teach me how to read the other screen. This images shows the target separation of the DownScan of fish close to the bottom. The sonar side is difficult to tell how many fish are present and the DownScan clearly tells the story.
Advantages of DownScan
Side Scanning
I put together a longer article with a few images on ledges and side scanning for fishing.
I hope you enjoy this newsletter. If you have any topic you want covered please respond with your request and I will consider it for a future newsletter.

New for 2011, the Lowrance School will be divided into a Basic Session and an Advanced Session. This allows advanced uses to skip the basics. The cost is $40/sessson or $70 for both sessions. The first school will be Friday January 7, 2011 at the Holiday Inn in Bloomington, MN the day before the NPAA Annual meeting. HDS School Information link
I will be at Cabela's Rogers, MN Sunday December 5, 2010 working the Northland Tackle display. Stop and say hello and ask any fishing related question.
New Puppy
We have new Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy. Cirri is now 13 weeks old. I love them but they are too much work. He sleeps all night and finally is sleeping while i work. The black lab has finally given into the persistent begging for touch. The first 2 weeks 3 feet was too close but he was persistent so even a 10 yo grump will give in.
