Awesome report.
I just picked up the elite 4 and was wondering if you run dual frequency does it matter to run downscan image as well?

Sweet video!!!

Great sound track.

Saw you out there last week, w/o a shirt on - early morning session. Couldn't tell if you were insane or an animal...guess your a little of both

I have the HDI model, not the DSI. But I believe it still has the ultra high frequency. My understanding is that down scan doesn't perform well in deep water, and especially not in cluttered deep water. I don't ever use DSI, but i don't have the chirp model. That being said I have seen some bitchin returns from my friends chirp with the DS overlay. I think it overlays 455 kHz over 200 kHz and gives a better HF image of bait and small objects. After playing with it and dropping your sibiki a hundred or so times, you should be able to easily distinguish between bait and kelp, or even spanish vs greenies.

Post of the year so far. Be interested to see if anyone can do better in 2016.

I need to get down to LJ!

I prefer to use a dual screen vs overlay. Dual screen will show conventional sonar and down scan image at the same time.

Congrats on the success on multiple trips. Great combinations on the video editing. Thanks for the tips on the set up. I agree, I always prefer using medium to large GB's. I'm so glad that they're are back in numbers. It was great to meet you last week at the launch. Mark
