OK that makes sense. My FF is a Lowrance Elite 4 Chirp(2d/DI) set up in my 14' yak. I have the transducer mounted in the front and I sit in the back. The idea being I see something on screen and by the time I come to a stop, I should be close with just 1-2 back strokes. I have been using a light weighted line to drag for structure on each side and if none found then fish straight down.
