This is what is confusing me. I've seen TONS of baitfish in the dark water column, but the info returned from the 2D sonar will give a different story. This tells me that there's no way that they would be under the boat...obvsiously outside of the 2D cone.

I'm not at all trying to prove you right or wrong, I'm just trying to figure out how to use the dang thing the way I think I should be able to. Generally when I go right over a ball of bait, it will show on my 2D and it will show on both sides of the dark water column.
