If it wasn't for a brush pile full of baby bass, and this hungry baby walleye. I pretty much suck.

Here is a neat picture of the walleye returning to his home in near 60ft of water. He was maybe 10" long, as you can tell there are more.

It is cool to know what they look like on the sonar.

I feel you Dan. I went Thursday and got absolutely skunked. Stayed with just trying to find Crappie. Didn't do well. But I will keep at it...

Luck is where preparation meets opportunity...... Or you could just flip a coin???B)

Oh, just in case someone was wondering what the blue snow was on the screen, it is interference from the unit in the front.

Hey, Thanks for bringing that up. That might explain something I have noticed on my front one. I'll have to check this out.

There are several reasons for that interference.  On that comes to mind is "cross talk" with your other unit if they are running on the same frequency.

I have been told that walleye appear as a curve, bow shape on sonar.  I have seen a lot of these on my garmin, and that crappie will just appear as blips due to size.  I am still learning how to get all the benefits from my sonar.  Have side and down imaging on them to.  Any advice on them would be greatly appreciated

Even on the best or worst of days Stockton always seems to entertain. Yesterday started at 1 pm out of Ruark. I headed north of the Y bridge and found two nice keeper crappie in about 16' of water on brush. As seems to happen a lot I probed for another 30 minutes without a bite. Off to the corp brush up by point 5. No luck but watched 10 bald eagles perched in a tree above the sign. Now going on 3 I returned south into mutton creek and caught two more, then nothing. Someone was shooting a rifle over by where they winter all the campers. Then all hell broke loose. I guess someone set off a dynamite charge, but more probably it was tannerite. I had no idea they were that loud with that much concussion. Scared me to death, but my pants stayed dry. I picked up and went south a couple of miles and the bite really turned on in the last 45 minutes. Ended the day with 9, but caught a bunch of shorts, once again in brush in the 16-20' range. All on Bobby Garland blue/chartreus.  Had one nice smallmouth right at dark. For what its worth I did better with the 9' rod than the 6'. I am able to reach out further and don't spook fish as easily in that shallow of water.
