Reading the fish

The question is: What are the marks along the bottom from 16' down to 20'. There is some bait on the screen ...... the blue areas mid water. I don't know what bait it was. I do know what the other marks are that are tight to the bottom. Any guesses.

Cappy, IMO you don't have enough options there. I see bait at 2 fathoms Sand ells , killies or whatever else you call them down there. Then at 2 1/2 fathoms i see the bottom. What's the matter with the Port side of your screen ? Butters will mark about like that on my sounder but seldom see that many and on the bottom. Squid mark much darker red (solid) the way i have my sounder set up.

Well each machine, and area, has its own "personality". For example I could show you some machine pictures and where you'd swear the lobster trap buoy lines were BFT coming up to the surface, or a large school of bunker was a ledge coming up 30 ft from the bottom. IMO a machine picture alone is an incomplete story...
