![]() That doesn’t mean there’s a blue whale stranded in the pond you’re fishing. If there is a fish underneath that is also stationary, what will you see on your fish finder display? You will see one continuous line. For example, imagine you keep your fish finder stationary in the water (in other words you are not reeling or trolling it). On your sonar display, you should think of length as representing time. The most common mistake anglers make when reading their fish finder is thinking that a long arch means a big fish. Plus there’s the added bonus or learning and refining a new skill. It’s time to take the plunge and switch off fish icons – you’ll be rewarded with more accurate readings of where the fish are. So for the best accuracy using your fish finder, you need to learn to interpret the data yourself. What’s more, some underwater objects or vegetation may sometimes give readings similar to that of a fish. This means there is not one uniform reading they always give. ![]() Unfortunately, even the most advanced units aren’t 100% accurate in interpreting correctly.įish swim at different speeds, in different directions through the sonar cone your fish finder sends. In the case of Deeper sonars, we use an advanced algorithm in the Fish Deeper App to interpret the data. It does this based on factors like the size of the object and the strength of the sonar return. The screen is constantly scrolling – this doesn’t mean your sonar is moving.įish icons are a useful tool when you are getting started with a sonar device: your fish finder interprets the sonar data it receives and tries to work out if it is a fish or not. Know if you’re scanning with a wide or narrow beam. So just remember these 3 points when you’re looking at your sonar display: 1. The current scanning data will be on the right – the further left on the screen, the older the data. ![]() The Deeper PRO+ 2 has a wide, medium and narrow beam scanning (47°, 20°, 7°), the PRO+ and PRO have wide and narrow beam scanning (55° and 15°), the Deeper START has a medium/wide beam (40°).One other point to remember about how you sonar works is that it is constantly sending and receiving data, which means your display will be continually scrolling. So make sure you’re aware of whether your fish finder is using a wide or narrow cone when you’re looking at the data on your screen. A narrow cone will scan between 10° - 20°. A wide beam cone scans between 40° - 60°, meaning you’ll be covering a large area. The size of the area you’re scanning will be affected by the angle of the cone. But for now there are a couple of technical points you need to remember.
