Lowrance StructureScan™
Well I have been testing the new StructureScan™ for the Lowrance HDS units and it seems to be great for figuring out structure and will be a great pre-fishing tool. I now have some big boulders marked with waypoints out on a local lake.
In the top image you can see the rock pile to the right of the boat and a couple of huge boulders that measured over 10 feet across. I have seen this area many times with an underwater camera but never new the boulders where that big.
In the bottom image you can see the 3 screen selection on the HDS.
The first screen is the StructureScan left and right with a pile of rocks to the left. The next screen on the top right is the DownScan which shows some weeds along bottom. And the bottom right screen is the standard sonar with the StructureScan overlay so you can easily determine structure and easy target separation.
The best part is there are almost no settings and it works right out of the box (plug-n-play), all I had to do was adjust the contrast to get a good image with nice target separation.
I will report more once I spend some more time with StructureScan on the water.
