Any way to get those pics back up a little larger? Hard to tell what we're looking at there.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Sorry the pics are small guys the attachments feature wouldnt let me upload them originally so i dont really know how to get them bigger.
I took the liberty of expanding Drawout's pictures .... now maybe we can get some answers :D
Here's my take -
15.3ft pic ....... 5ft tall weeds (no surface clutter reading could indicate low sensitivity setting ??)
12.5ft (blurry) pic ...... brush on a drop (still no surface clutter reading, but darker pixelation could represent denser material than weeds ... hence my guess that it's brush)
13.5ft pic ..... brush, ditch (left), and a cloud of baitfish or heavy vegetation (right) ?? (surface clutter & interference blotches may indicate higher sensitivity setting ???) A few scattered straight line marks could be fish ... Fish ID setting turned off ??
Now ... I could be way off, in my interpretations ... not knowing anything about the lake, boat speed, or the unit. It's just guesses, based on what I would think I was seeing, if I were using the unit on my own waters.
What do you, more experienced depth finder users, see ??
