cheers

yeah, in the last pic you can kinda make out how it's angled down with the back part closest to the ground.
Thanks again L/G, just went out and had another look at mine, and it is the other way round
Cheers

basically what will happen if it's the other way around is you'll get partial or 1/2 fish arches. if you look back a few pages to find another thread of mine where i have detailed some screenshots you will see a load of partial fish arches. that is what happens when the transducer isn't positioned correctly..... well with my sounder anyway.
my sounder now shows a very good line when fish are about. i'll get some more shots next time i'm on the water.
this was a school of bait that went under my boat. the fish were fuseilers (spelling)
sorry for image quality, was taken on my phone, not SD card.
ok guys guess the fish see if you can tell me what these shots are ...taken on a furuno 620 ...on saturday in westernport
Hi L/G
this is a few pics i have taken yesterday, what can you tell me? also i cant seem to get the pics as detailed as Foggy has, for some reason
cheers

glxr. the 2nd pic looks like you have a larger pic sitting above a school of fish on the bottom.
wahoo. i would think your first pic is of a dense school of bait sitting off the bottom. looks like a very hard rocky bottom your over.
2nd pic looks like rocks. possibly coral growth. there are fish there, but they don't look huge. definately sitting right on the bottom.
i'm not hugely familiar with the Furuno sounders unless i'm physically at the machine, but can you adjust the colour line to get a little more bottom detail in your pics, or speed up the speed at which the screen is scrolling... thats probably the biggest thing you can do to help with defining what is underneith you. checkout bluefin's pics in post #415
[/IMG]This is a great thread guys !! I have a new sounder & while I recon I had worked out the old sounder, this unit has got me learning again . See what you guys make of these
Cheers AL
another one[/IMG]
wahoo,
i am just curious to weather those shots were taken of the same patch of reef on different passes over it.
gday guys - can i just add my thanks to all for this incredible thread and to iank and burley boy for starting it - i have really picked up more than a few tips as i read through the whole series - have just fitted a lcx 27 c lowrance colour combo unit and will take a photo or two and add to the sites info as soon as i get a worth while shot - i did buy the lowrance how to use sounder / gps dvd ($14 ex bias ) by steve starling and scott amon and can say i found it helpful and informative - see you and thanks rob
hi mate, im really not sure on this, i made the mistake of not showing the GPS cords

Daz,
Scroll speed looks a bit quick to me. Find a good show on the sounder, mark it on the gps then slow the scroll rate down and switch to auto. Go back over the same ground and check the difference out. Then go over it again and play with the color erase, clutter and gain settings. Probably take a while to get a good result but well worth the effort.
Try these
Pic advance 1/2
Color erase 10% up to 15mtrs and 20% over that depth
Smoothing on
TX rate 10
Interference auto
Clutter 30%
Hopefully that will help. If it doesn't, I guess i will have to come to cairns to set it up for you
Foggy
thanks Foggy, will give them settings a shot
Daz
