#HUMMINGBIRD DEPTH FINDER SERIES#
Fish appear larger on a depth series of twenty feet than one hundred. Recognizing fish size displayed on the sonar is very difficult since you can alter the size with sensitivity changes or depth range. Note where these objects are in the water column, however, keep in mind that many fish finders can not decipher the difference between fish and other objects that might be in the water. In some designs, the icons represent fish. Plentiful lines or things near each other suggest the density of the wood, rocks, greenery, and other objects. Lines or other items that extend up from the bottom likely are of hard structure, submerged wood, rocks, or water vegetation. Look above the line that represents the bottom. A thick, dark line represents a tough bottom, while a thin, light line recommends the bottom is soft. When you study the bottom of the screen, specifically the line that crosses it. Remember these readings are based upon the area of the transducer that sends out finder signals from the water to the fish finder. Depending on the style of the fish finder, these might be depth, water temperature level, and boat speed readings. Have a look at the digital readings that appear on the screen. When you get the hang of reading your fish finder, you can do it half asleep! It’s that simple!įish finders are unbelievable gadgets– they have a bit of a learning curve. The thinking behind it is that the most and slowest echoes need to be at the bottom, and everything in between is either objects or fish. The readings appear as “echoes” on the screen. Newer fish finders have integrated GPS navigation, marine radar, and compasses. They are a sonar tools specifically designed to find a school of fish. So you have a shiny brand new toy on your boat, and you are delighted to crank it up and try out your new fish-catching device! You turn it on, and all you see are wavy lines and dots scattered all over … and you say, “What? Where are the fish?”įish finders are also known as sounders– what they do is they shoot out acoustic waves into the water and measure their speed and strength when they return.
