Fishing Vegetation - VEXILAR FL-8 SE Owner's Manual

F IS H I NG VE GE TATI O N
The Vexilar flashers are exceptional when it comes
to reading inside vegetation. With proper transducer
choice, the colors will allow you to differentiate
vegetation from the bottom. Experience will even
allow you to identify fish inside heavy vegetation.
Tips for Reading in Vegetation
• Narrow transducer cone angles will perform
better than wide cone angles.
• Keep the gain setting very low. Too much gain
will make readings difficult.
• Move a boat slowly so you can identify openings
that may hold fish.
