Sub Pt. Patience downscan

[Oysterhoister]

there's suposed to be a huge metal cross in the area off of Pt. Patience as well that was sunk where my brother in law was killed in a boating accident several years back.... you didn't happen to come accross that with your scan did ya?

I did pick up something very close to the sub. It was pretty big but at the time it didn't take on the appearance of a cross. I'll take a closer look next time. Your brother in law one of the guys on the race team?

Awesome shot.

I picked up a lower cost Lowrance (DSI 5x) down scan sonar set last year.. so far have not seen any wrecks or anything like that with it. I was hoping it would produce similar results though... maybe this weekend i'll have to try and find some wrecks. Anyone know of interesting ones in the NN area?

I've fished on wrecks in shallower water (20-30ft) and I guess the wreck was too shallow for the sonar to get a full picture of it, like the sub there.

I bought this sonar..

The sub is good because it's HUGE and its on the charts, that makes it easy to find. I've checked some of the other wreck symbols around the solomons area and creeks. Typically there is debris appearing to be covered with bottom. Sometimes the outline of a vessel can be made out. Nothing like the sub though. I still need to find out what rockfish over 18" look like, they don't appear on the charts.... :-)

I just happened across this last week - video of a dive on the same sub.
