I did some searching on the forum and really enjoyed this article by Jerry Blake: http://www.crappie.com/crappie/main-...hangy-etc.html

Newbie Fishfinder Question:

If my boat is only 15 feet long, and the transducer is on the transom, and I am fishing from the front of the boat going less than 1MPH (troll motor), how and where would I cast out to get to the fish?

I can see the fish arches, but they seem to go off the screen pretty fast.

I have a Humminbird 561.

Thanks guys!
