are very important for fishing since often many species of game fish like to

suspend in, just above, or just below the thermoclines.

White Line

The White Line shows the difference between hard, soft bottoms and even

distinguishes between fishes and structures located near the bottom. In this

way it is easier to tell the difference between a hard and soft bottom and even

to distinguish fishes and structures located nearby the bottom. For example,

a soft, muddy or weedy bottom returns a weaker echo that is shown with a

narrow white line while a hard bottom returns a strong echo that causes a

wide white bottom line.

Surface Clutter

Appears like noise at the top of the screen extending many feet below the

surface. It’s caused by many things, including air bubbles, bait fish, plankton

and algae.

Structures

Generally, the term “structure” is used to identify objects like wrecks and

weeds rising from the bottom.

Bottom Echo Profile

Bottom profile recorded by the Fish Finder. When the echo sounder is set in

auto-range mode it is automatically kept in the lower half of the screen.

Other Elements

Large anchoring cables are returned by the echo sounder as very long and narrow

arcs on the screen.
