83khz or 200khz on fish finder

Which setting do you like to run while trolling 200 or 83 or side by side?

Almost exclusively in a dual setting, but not side by side. When bottom fishing in deep water, I might use only one frequency, whichever shows the best.

We use both. Different colors show for each freq

Both, mine is gray scale but same idea use different shades of gray.

If just trolling looking for fish (in shallow especially) I use the 200khz for better definition and separation of fish and bait and weeds etc. When trolling out deep and just surveying for fish and bait I use the 83 khz because the cone angle is wider so it spots more. I don't use "Fish ID" because it often confuses fish with bait or weeds and just shows whatever it spots as a fish (I tested it out in water where I could actually see what was there). It could be used out deeper I guess without as much of a problem but I'm used to the conventional  "arcs" after years of this stuff .  Most of the time I leave it set to auto sensitivity but when out deeper I sometimes turn it up a bit because I'm not as interested in the 'surface clutter" anyway

I normally use both 83 and 200 on the same screen. They are laid over each other by the software in my H'bird combo units.

 

Works great for most Lake O applications. Once in a while I will use only 83 or 200 depending in what I am looking for.
