    We have average of 8' thermocline on the shallow lake I fish most . Looks like your question was answered. In summer low oxygen means few if any fish below the thermocline .I see guys set trotline then act shocked when the fish all dead . They anchor them down and fish can't move into good water. I have no trouble seeing it on my Humminbirds . It appears as a cloudy area from bottom up to the thermocline on my screen .

    Fishing on PP Saturday evening. Down-imaging on Garmin, appeared to be a distinct line around 30 feet (40-60 feet deep). Possibly viewing the thermocline?

    Hope this isn’t a dumb question from grad of the school near Sardis.. Haha

    That's what it sounds like. It's a lot easier to see if you turn up the brightness(gain). On my previous screenshot my brightness was turned up past 90.

    thermocline at 40 fow. Notice the fish below it coming off a slope. Finding a sharp depth change intercepting the thermocline can be great fishing. It is not too common to see this many fish that far below the thermocline. this was Stripers mixed with sand bass

    Thermocline showing at ~28ft on my 7SV. It's still visible on medium gain but much more prominent on auto high.
