Structure
Clouded Area may indicate a bait ball and
White Streaks may indicate fish.
Shadows- Result from a lack of reflected
sonar from a particular area and can be as
valuable for interpretation than the sonar
reflected by the object itself. Use shadows to
help you see the image in 3 dimensions,
oriented in space. You can gain insight into
the actual shape of an object, or the depth
to which it has sunk into the bottom,
through shadows on the display. Objects
standing on the bottom cast a sonar
shadow. The longer the shadow, the taller
the object. Fish also cast shadows. You can
use the shadow to interpret how close the
fish is to the bottom.
Bottom Return - Use the appearance of the
bottom return to determine bottom hardness.
Rock and gravel provide a clearer sonar
return than mud and sand because hard
objects reflect sonar better than soft objects.
