Side Imaging, Aqua-Vu and Boulders On December 13, 2016

Side imaging produces nice images of how boulders really look like and I use it to find key spots that I miss with 2D and down imaging sonar.

This image is a boulder reef. On this image the biggest boulders are next to smooth bottom. This also means there is probably a dropoff next to the boulders. Walleyes like transitions, big boulders and dropoffs so I have 3 key ingredients to start my hunt for groceries for my famous fish tacos. I don't see any fish but fish are difficult to see in boulders since they also show up as white.
