Since you have the chirp, that feature is EXTREMELY nice when finding bait. It will allow you to distinguish bait fish from kelp much easier. I have the elite 7 chirp on my dads boat, works great. I am always adjusting the finder when fishing different depths, the deeper I get (~280-300) I will normally crank the sensitivity up to like 90-95%. This is just enough to where the screen is not cluttered with noise but i will be able to better distinguish marks on the bottom. When fishing shallower the same thing applies but your obviously going to decrease sensitivity so your screen isn't filled with noise. Next time i'm out metering i can take shots of what it should look like if you want.
