Sure do man follow the boats around silly football ground.. they’ll be around sooner or later.. best thing about freshwater fishing is the lack of ramp rage... gotta day I’ve never witnessed it in fresh water.. countless things I’ve seen in salt! Fights stolen trailers cars clipping other cars in queue.... tis the season

Something doesn't look right there fishnut. I'm no expert but you may need to play around with your settings a bit more

I use a furuno on my haines and have a lowrance hook2 on my tinny. The arches usually come up darker depending on what fish or structure im going over.

That's your furuno yeah?

Any idea how to split screen on the hook, with the bottom few metres showing on one half like you have in this pic?

Was trying the other day and couldn't figure out how :(

No they are just google images but the furuno pictures are similar to marks I've marked up before. Looks like a school of salmon or pinkies sitting off the bottom.

With the hook2 i have the cheapo one. $120 i think? I don't think it can do the split screen thing. only gps/sounder split

These pictures are from my boat when in the rip catching salmon to 2.5kg. The bigger marks were salmon and the smaller marks are yellow tail/slimies they were harassing.
