Dialing in your sounder (FF)?
Just picked up a used Lowrance Elite-5 on CL. Spent the last day reading the manual and trying to figure out all the bells and whistles! My question is what are the proper settings I need to worry most about (ping speed, advance rate, A-scope, white marker, etc.....)? How do you guys configure your electronics to maximize their capabilities? All info is greatly appreciated!

You will want to set the meter to saltwater, I believe that one has it it the menu and set to shallow water unless you are in over 100 ft ping speed I set a little over medium, the Lowrance is a good unit, but like everything else you will want to play with it until you are satisfied with the performance, and learning curve is complete...

Serious...No SIRUS? No Nuc Launch Codes...So what you're saying is its the basic model :). Went onto the Lowrance web site Good looking model. Think I will have to go look at it.. Thanks for the feed back

Spend 15 minutes with Darkhorse getting it dialed in. The Lowrance seminar at Fred Hall was good, but I learned more useful tips in a few minutes with Josh than I did in the seminar. I now have no problems finding the smaller patches of squid in deep water.
