Attachment 169207What is that bright spot under the fish,showing as on bottom
Rickie,I don,t think u mind ,just giving us something to help us learn better
I would say fish holding over rocks
I don't no, but the bright yellow showing under that structure is a hard spot on the bottom. Real symalier to that hard spot catfin posted in a sc picture on another thread
I dont mind at all Gene...we all learn together...Quote:

Well I'm sure I'm wrong but I'm just going to guess that the baitfish are blocking the full strength signal from reaching the bottom causing a slight interference.
I'm sure I am wrong as well but I believe if that were the case it would be opposite of what he has here. There would be a darker spot on bottom showing the shadow from the baitfishQuote:

I don't think so, if that was the case there would be a shadow. I vote hard bottom.Quote:

Why does your waypoint marker have a sad face in it?????
A shadow would be darker. I believe a harder bottom too. Should be a happy face with all those fish around
Slabback,that is the way my 998 was set up .i had notice that face also. As for answer i will let u know on monday,but when i was going by i had it on si and all this came up and i switch to di ,then did a way point,still waiting for right answer,no one is close,i went over it many times and also came back to it many times later in the month
How about emerging weeds?
I noticed the face also, but wasn't going to comment.im glad someone else saw thatQuote:

IT PICK UP A FEW IN WATER COLUMN AND THE OTHERS WERE FARTHER THAN BOTTOM DISTANT ,15 FEET,SO THEY APPEAR TO BE ON BOTTOM WHEN MOST WERE NOT. I WENT BY THEM A FEW TIMES ON BOTH SIDES WITH SI AND DI. I WAS CATCHING PLENTY OF FISH BUT HAD TO LEAVE BECAUSE I WAS TAKING CANCER TREAMENTS 60 MILES AWAY EVERY DAY AND DID NOT WANT TO BE LATE,WE CAMP THERE SO WE WOULD BE CLOSER TO DUKE THAN HOME BUT IT WAS FRIDAY AND AFTER TREAMENT WE WOULD GO HOME ON FRIDAYS WHICH IT WAS,ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS COMING BACK AND FISH FOR THEM A WHILE ON MONDAY BEFORE TREAMENT,YOU GUEST IT ,THEY WERE GONE AND ONLY A LITTLE BIT OF A BP WAS THERE WITH ABOUT 3 SMALL BRANCHES AND THE BOTTOM WAS CLEAR,NO WHITE SPOTS WHICH I KNEW ALREADY WERE FISH BECAUSE OF GOING BY THEM A FEW TIMES AT DIFFERENT DIRECTION WITH SI. MAYBE THAT IS WHY WAY POINT HAS SAD FACE:dono
My guess is a hard bottom. We have a road bed in the local lake that has a return like that. I even got a hard return off the 5 gallon bucket of concrete I had put some bamboo in.

My first impression looking at it was fish on a stump, with maybe the roots and maybe submerged trunk making the bright spot.
Sometimes it's hard figuring something out from a single image. On the water, you can run over it a few times from different angles to help figure it out, then when you look at the image it becomes obvious.
you are right caftan,also when u are using it on water ,its much easier to interpret than someone seeing a pic
