Pretty new to fishing and trying to get my equipment figured out. Was out at the sandheads this weekend and 7-1 on Saturday morning, got skunked, saw a few boats pulling nets but not many, we got on undersized coho. My question is my sounder sometimes marked fish in the 160-200 range near the bottom but rarely ever marked anything in the top water column where most people have been catching. if I traveled over someones downrigger ball I would seem to mark that. Someone told me they never mark fish there and just target the sweet spot at the time. Anyone have any insight into this, I currently own a Humminbird 788cihd that I am looking to upgrade, always losing bottom and i have to change the setting on the transducer to get bottom back good for a 1/2 hour then lost again, frustrating. Thinking of a Simrad go combo unit , any thought on this sounder? Thanks for everyones help.
