the sad thing is since I've installed this unit I really haven't actually fished. I ride around really slow scanning the lake lol. I probably haven't made 20 casts all weekQuote:

also im not seeing much shadow around any of those fish so that means they are very close to bottom correct?Quote:

Here's a depiction showing how fish at various depths create their respective shadow...
