Just wanted to update...finally got my 1022 around 7-8 days ago. Install was not hard but a little more in depth than pervious devices I have installed. I managed to get on the water today but only for about two hours. I only made a dozen or so cast and that was when I was fine tuning the setting to see my bait. This picture is horrible because I have yet to get the settings fine tuned and it was in the bright sun. After this picture was took I did manage to get it a lot more clear and in depth. I managed to find the setting where I could cast a DT10 and watch it dive, work thru the water column and then come up at the boat. I wish I took a picture of that screen but I forgot. I also found a school of bait fish and watch them swim around. I found what I suspect to be some crappie and saw them move around some but they pretty much stayed in one location. I also saw what I feel confident was some bass and I saw them swimming on the screen. I am just in the infancy stage of learning this unit. Hopefully once I get it figured out I can use it as a tool to put more fish in the boat. If not then it will be a neat and expensive toy to play with...LOL
My only disappointment was perspective view BUT I was never in a situation where I should have been using it. Perspective view is best for shallow water and I don't think I ever had the unit in anything less than 10 ft. I was pleasantly pleased with forward and down view. Based on how I fish for bass I doubt I will ever use down view but I looked at it just to see what it looks like. I can see forward view being a tool I can use once I learn how to fine tune it. I think when the conditions get right perspective will be a player based on my style of fishing...if not I definitely know forward view will be something I will use on the main lake.
