    Those green lights draw in much more bait, crappie, and striper than those white ones.

    Great idea Rango and even though I have been using depth finders for well over 35 years I still have much I could learn. I think it's because I never had anyone tell me exactly what I was looking between the bottom and the surface so primarily I have used it to see the breaks, grass, stumps, brush piles, balls of bait fish, etc. Still much of the stuff on there I am not totally sure what it is.

    Interesting them lines are and I had the same lines on mine the other day, even had more than one at a time on a couple of occasions. I was stumped shall we say, LOL!

    I will try to take my camera also to see if I can capture some interesting things like this and other images.

    Here is one form a Humminbird 987c SI. And its a log. Yes both screens its a log.

    Here is a ball of bait fish and fish around it.

    Here is a nice one of bait and fish. And as a bonus it has the waypoint on it.

    is that a school of crappie in the one photo? this unit certainly gives a different perspective on how and what you seeing down below. I was gonna get some photos on our wateree trip this past weekend but the camera was acting up.

    Default Depth Finder Interpetations

    It has been so long since I have been out at night I need a question answered please. I have a Humminbird wide 100 on the stern of my 16' Skiff that I left on Friday night while anchored. I had a steady stream of fish circling the boat down around 20 ' or so with the light hung at 10'. The bait showed up as small clumps and while the finder showed them, the fish I.D. showed more fish lower and displayed the vertical line and depth over each one. I am assuming that the bait fish were not marked because of their size, while the bigger fish (stripes, hybrids, etc) were marked. Does anyone know if this is correct? Or is it possible what was marked was just a thicker clump of bait? The unit did put up a fish symbol each time it did this. I know it is not an expensive unit but all I can really afford. It is like a cats meow to me since I used to use a flasher unit. Any help would be Appreciated.
