    Default Graph question


    I have made my mind up, to do as much as I can this year to get the most out of my graph. I feel comfortable with it, but still don't know all I should. One question, I have, and its pretty basic, but I have never known. If I have my transducer on my TM, and chart speed on fast as it will go, and I just moving along fishing, slow speeds just enought to keep the boat moving, and I see a ledge, or brushpile, whatever, on my graph. How far behind me is it? If I drop a buoy off the side when I see structure or cover I want to fish, am I in the right spot?

    I would think that it's directly under your transducer as soon as you see it on your graph....that is...if your transducer is pointing straight down...

    I angle my transducer about 5 degrees forward so that when I am spider riggin...I can actually see the brush before my lines get tangled...

    i made a portable transducer mount that i can hang on the side of my boat and as long as your setting still over structure or even suspended fish you can see everything thats going on below.In perfect situations, with the scroll speed as high as it will go, sometimes you'll see a streak come up and bite ya. it helped me to understand kinda what was what and what was where and when. You can move it further back on your boat when slow trollin and really see whats happening. The key is keeping your lure in the cone and scroll speed on high.
