[QUOTE="Bobkat, post: 361593, member: 8010"] My problem most of us have with fishfinders, is that they work great at low speed, but once you get going fasterm even the water. Plume and then the bottom contour washes out, and lots of static in the water column washes outmost fish presence unless it is a very big fish, etc. Is this the nature of every depth finder? Most of my buddies experience the same problem whether Lowrance, Hummingbird, Garmin or other less common brands are used. Is there any make or model that will overcome this? I’ve also been told that the finder “hears” echoes fine at low speed but once on plane, the transducer is no longer parallel to the bottom. If this is true, would it be possible to hook up a switch between two transducers, each parallel to the bottom at different speeds. Or even two finders! Though they might interfere with each other. Also a sort of poll - Hummingbird, Lowrance or Garmin? I get different opinions, though down here it seems more are going to hummingbird. [/QUOTE]
