Thanks for the reply and the manual mr. trout ![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/happy.gif)
. I believe our finders are very similiar as I am using the Humminbird 570 model (I read the manual you posted and its features were more or less identical the ones mine has). I've tried toying with the sensitivity all over the place, and I typically leave it on the inverse setting rather than structure ID mode, but I can change that.
I've tried using the fishID+ before and I think it gives a lot of false returns, I'm not sure what other peoples luck has been with that system but for me it seems like every blip and blup on the screen suddenly becomes a "fish" with that mode on.
I do have advanced mode turned on and I've fiddled with different combinations of settings to try and get those elusive archs to show up but no dice as of yet.
The primary thing I want to be able to do is seperate the fish from any of the other clutter the finder is picking up, I just don't feel confident right now thinking that a horizontal line or a bloop on the screen is a fish, even though I'm sure that some of what I'm seeing must be fish returns [crazy].
and in the spirit of success, heres the first rainbow I took off the boat this year!
