Not Just Fishing's Fish Finders
Fishing Articles and Information
These extruded nightcrawlers have similar look and feel of live bait. They can be dangled from floats, rigged like plastic worms or any other way you fish nightcrawlers.
Question:
I have a lowrance x47 and would
like to know why the fish arches are not anything like the demo. They are normally small and not
a complete arch. I've tried adjustments on the transducer and even compared it to a friends fish finder that
is the same model. Is there something I can do to get the arches to be like the ones on the demo?

Answer:
The response to his query is that Fish Arches shown in demo mode are created by a program.
When you use the sonar in an real time, then you must account for depth, water clarity and how the fish will react
in the water.
If for instance the area you are fishing is shallow, more than likely the fish will not stay
in the zone long enough to record a properfish arch, or they will simply disperse. You may suggest to him try to
set the unit in manual mode if he has the sonar in automatic and then raise the sensitivity to increase the power
going to the transducer, which may improve the way it draws an arch.
He may also want to review our sonar
tutorial on our web site to read up on the basic principals and provides some insight on Fish Arches.
