You get different results if you use 50hz or 200hz and which part of the cone the fish passes through the arch is created when the fish passes from one side of the cone to the other. If you are stationary a fish can appear as a vertical line

Ok that makes sense.
Thank you

The problem is thought it was fish but was never very confident about it especially when I don't catch any.
I only ever found one arche at the time I think by the time I anchor down and burley up the fish is gone. I will give it another try over the weekend with those settings adjustments.
Thank you guys very much for the advice much appreciated.

when you seen one, usually they are just travelling past, if there were a few or lots of them, then that's a school and you might get luckier.

I don't get arches on my sounder, just blobs. Not sure if I've go it set up wrong.

what sounder have you got, bream and few other smaller fish only show up as blobs not arches.

It's a Humminbird 385ci. It picks up structure fine, I could see every detail of submerged trees at Blue Rock. It just doesn't really differentiate structure from fish or floating weed.

were you on structure scan, that usually only shows blobs for fish, unless they are big fish.

Might be. If I turn that off will the fish detection be a bit better?

Can somebody plz help me confirm if this is snapper. Had no luck over the weekend.

I can't confirm it was a snapper, I can however confirm that it is a fish. It could be a salmon, or another type of fish.

yes, structure scan and sonar are 2 different things.
