" Fish finders cannot read through air. Most fish have air bladders. The locator beam put out by your fish finder passes through water but cannot pass through air. Fish finders read the air bladder of a fish, and the image is bounced back to you."

I believe this. Cut the air bladder out of a fish and dangle it under ur sonar. Hard to see...Fish body bout like ours. Bout 98 to 99 % water. That why higher power sonar units haver better echo return than the lower wattage units. Too much power can be bad as not enough power... catch 22 here.
Kinda sounds like some of yous guys have been sitting in on my sonar classes...ha
