Name that Return

That depends on a few factors, that are interrelated. But it comes down to the number of fish and their vertical distribution in the area of view. In these cases, I am on 83khz (my wide cone angle frequency). That gives me a better angle to capture something, but it also jams all of that info into each vertical line the FF draws. As long as the fish are fairly thick and well distributed vertically, they can blot out the screen.















Straight line across the bottom is my downrigger ball and camera setup.









This is a good guess. But even most BSB are not going to give you the color of a harder return (the red in the pic) at that distance. One of the very large models might, or if you have your colorline cranked up, that might do it also.





This last mark was a Dolphin passing by the camera.





Ok, here is an easy one.

Those kind of worms, I love to see on my FF screen. It's been a while, but it just reminds me to keep doing out.

Here is one last one that is pretty kewl to figure out everything that is going on in. And how things change at a distance.
