Do you want to find more fish?   You might cruise around a lake for hours until you finally happen across something on the bottom that looks promising or, if you are a preparing for a tournament on a lake that you have never been to before, you might spend DAYS looking for the best fishing spots on that lake. Try this new approach to the old problem of finding fish... Lake Scans can reduce the time required to find the best fishing spots on a lake by giving you a list of their locations - BEFORE YOU EVEN LEAVE YOUR HOUSE!!!  That's right.  Instead of cruising the lake using up hours of your time and gallons of fuel, Lake Scans can print you a list of locations that will most likely attract the fish because of the bottom features there. Lake Scans does this by presenting you with pictures of what is on the bottom of a lake and the location of objects that attract fish.  Using your boat and your fishfinder, you can cruise directly to each location and verify the presence of fish, making your boat and your fishfinder more efficient than ever before.  However, you do not need a boat or a fishfinder to take advantage of Lake Scans data.  In addition to generating Latitude and Longitude for objects on the bottom, Lake Scans also has the ability to measure the approximate distance and compass bearing to any object under the water, from any point on the edge of the lake (telling the fisherman at the edge of the lake, how far to cast his line and, in what direction).
	(Above : sunken cabin cruiser)   At present, we are scanning the following Lakes :            Charles Mill Lake    Knox Lake     Clear Fork Reservoir        Pleasant Hill Lake    Alum Creek   Delaware Lake       Hoover Reservoir     Buckeye Lake  Deer Creek Some images are available NOW!!! Check the PROGRESS page. More images will be added soon.   (Below : Knox Lake, Logs, Rocks, Stumps and Trees)
	What you are looking at in the image above is the view from the top of the water looking down at the lake bottom. The light half of the image (at the top) is underwater.  The dark portion of the image is LAND.  Features on the bottom with a long black line moving down the screen from them are objects standing vertically from the bottom of the lake.  The long black line is called the "Acoustic Shadow" and as you might expect, the longer this shadow is, the higher the object stands off the bottom. Objects that are horizontal on the screen with a short "Acoustic Shadow" and  an irregular shape are usually logs laying on the bottom of the lake.  Objects with very straight edges are usually man-made. For more  information see the "short course" on Acoustic Imaging.
