Default HDS-10...interference or what??

Noticed this year that I am having some tiny lines on my screen. They come and go and are distracting for sure. I have a pic I will try to post. Hope you can see them and tell me what is going on.

It does look like interference to me, although not particulary bad as interference goes. I have seen this in two scenarios in my boat.

A) when I am running my bow sonar on the same frequency. No brainer and I just switch my HDS to 83 kHz and problem solved.

B) There's a guy on our lake that has one of the older but very powerful large screen LCX Lowrance combos. Unlike the HDS, this thing just pounds out the wattage (8000W) and I pick it up whenever I get within 1/10 of a mile of his boat. As soon as we separate the interference goes away. Or I could switch over to 83 also.

I think it's just junk in the water. Small bits of debris from seasonal die off. Looks normal to me for the waters I fish this time of year.
