New toy for my bass boat!

**SAMBO** · 04-09-09, 11:18 PM

Ended up buying a Hummingbird 997c SI NVB for my rig. For you guys that don't know, it is the most advanced sonar/GPS unit on the market. Offers an advanced sonar reading called Side Imaging that actually scans pictures of around/below your boat. It's pretty much like draining the lake and seeing whats actually on the bottom to find fish. Gonna install it tomorrow when i get out of work, then go rip some lips! :10

Here's a link to see the unit i have with specs and actual screen shots of side imaging.

*drooooool*

Wish I had that for lake Dunlap, would clean it out of the Bass and Catfish, might even get back the one that got away by twisting the chain of the leader line until it broke.....man I was looking forward to filleting that one...

Very nice Sambo. I love the size of the screen.

Nuck

The side view option is sick, its like putting on a scuba mask and looking at the cover you are fishing.

Almost cheating. :9

"Like" cheating? It is cheating :P I still fish the old fashioned way, with my gut instinct. I get plenty of fish.

Not saying I wouldn't use it if I got one though....

Funny how much technology we need to outsmart some stupid fish.

How can you call something that swims in school's stupid?

How can you call something that eats its own crap off of the bottom of the lake/river/pond/ocean anything but stupid? I know this does not apply to all fish, but you get my point.
