So picked up a nice HDS5 yesterday was wondering if you guys can post reference screenshot of what certain things should look like on our fishfinders. Baits, yellows, wsb, and what i'm most interested in rockfish. Thanks in advance

portable hds5 system coming soon

Thanks Andy for the idea

Put your sonar in 1-2X zoom to greatly enhance the bottom. Light peppering will mark on the bottom. Larger schools will of course get a better return, but that isnt ideal..fine tune HDS sensitivity & colorline & get true hard bottom separation..

Don't have screenshots of RF, but they look like clusters of stuff on the bottom, and then when its like a thicker line on the bottom those are most likely sanddabs.

Are the images similar for rockfish on the mark 4s?
