Hard to say exactly without
Hard to say exactly without knowing what settings are in place on your Furuno. Looking at your density's it would seem as though your sitting on some hard bottom with a school above. Not a lot of solid returns in the school so dont think they would be anything too big but hard to say? Nothing on the chew? Did you pick up any knifejaw or even green eyes?

Same as above
re. setting but i'd be leaning towards mud/soft bottom above hard bottom.

your just heading over a slope on 50hz
youll get that soft show.if youd viewing it heading back up it it would appear hard and much easier to identify fish. The 585 is underpowered and pics like that over steep slopes are common.

Rubes
Coupla different ones, both areas produce rubies and GB off Exxy. As you drift off it the sounder goes back to being flat.

How do you work out settings
How do you work out settings I just bought a boat with the 620 on it and I can't work it out? I cant get it to show anything like that and the picture is nowhere near as clear. is it worth the money upgrading to something like the simrad nss8?
