What lies beneath?
Many fish finders will tell you what is ahead or behind, but not the most important thing which is what is going on where you are right now. This is why Humminbird has introduced Down Imaging (DI) which essentially points their Side Imaging technology straight down. You need to know if there is something beneath you that you may catch your rod on, similarly if there is a large school of fish you need to know to stop. Without this technology you could get your rod stuck or miss opportunities. One consumer review described this Down Imaging feature as ‘frickin awesome’ and another described it as ‘indispensable’. I would have to agree with them.
It’s OK to have more than one point of view.
In life, sometimes you cannot see the forest for the trees and so you need to step back and take a look at the broader situation. Sometimes it pays to focus tightly on the important things so that you are more likely to get what you want. It is not often you can do both but with the Humminbird 597ci HD DI you can have it both ways with the display capable of showing the results of both narrow and wide beams. As such you may view the results of a precision 20° beam or a broader 60° beam individually or together for smarter fishing.
Humminbird 597ci HD DI Freeze Frame/Structure Marking
An experienced fisher knows that there are particular natural structures and underwater contours that attract fish. This feature allows you to freeze frame interesting spots that you discover to better examine them. Then, if this is a particularly interesting structure, you can mark it down to return to at a later date. No more trying desperately to remember the exact location of that ‘magical’ fishing spot where the fish practically leap into your boat. With this fish finder, you can return to the exact spot any time, every time.
Are your old fish finder results…well…fishy?
When is a fish not a fish? When it is debris that your old fish finder thinks is a fish, that’s when. With the Selective Fish ID+ feature of the Humminbird 597ci HD DI you can be confident that when it says there is a fish that it is correct. Furthermore, this fish finder will tell you what depth it is at and also give an indication of the relative size of that fish. Now you know when it is worth the time to drop your rod and just how far you have to drop it. The end result? You like like a fisher with an uncanny knack of knowing exactly when to act, an efficient operator who gets more fish for their time invested.
Humminbird sonar thought leadership
I mentioned at the outset that Humminbird were thought leaders in the fish finder market. Their latest TrueArch technology is case in point. It is common for other fish finders in the market to use post processing software to supposedly enhance the arching effect that is produced when targets cross into and out of the sonar beam. Humminbird TrueArch technology makes this approach seem somewhat outdated by utilizing parallel processing of sonar data to get rid of any interference and distractions which means you get true arches of fish targets. Now you can quickly and reliably figure out the size and depth of any fish targets meaning you do not waste time fishing for what is not really there. Fish with confidence and minimal frustration, sounds good to me.
Do you know where you’re going to?
Whether you are just a local fisher or you like to travel around the country, the Humminbird 597ci HD DI has you covered thanks to their U.S. ContourXD maps which cover over 3000 lakes. You will also see depth contour lines so you can find the drops and channels that fish like to congregate. You won’t have trouble navigating to your targeted spot as U.S. lights/markers as well as major roads and interstates are featured in this comprehensive cartography software. The upshot of this is you can travel to just about anywhere in the country, find a good lake and fish like a pro.
