Whats your interpretation?
Submitted by randall df223 on Fri, 2014-09-26 21:51
On the way back in from out deep, we stopped at a spot I had been given but never fished before. My deckie dropped some big baits and I dropped a jig down.
Nothing.
Looking at this, I suspect next time I stop here I should have a whiting rig ready to go? I am looking at the thin light green line right on the bottom reading and thinking whiting?

Errr
Fish at 10-12 and at 20, sambos?
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

i would think MAYBE whiting
i would think MAYBE whiting nothing else. can you adjust your depth range if so make it 50m for that depth that way you can see the tails better. ( the green and blue )
edit, iam talking bottom

Just re-read an article by John Adams in the Jul/Aug 2014 edition of The Western Australian Fishing Magazine that explains the significance of the tails!

unless real calm, no drift I wouldnt bother berlying that deep, thats just me.
would just try from the 40's inwards, fish are in close at the moment.
perfect jigging speed too, on the best lump that is.

That line at 20m looks to me
That line at 20m looks to me like a ghost echo as it's the same cotour as the bottom. I agree with Carnarvonite, prob weed.

Looks like weed,try using
Looks like weed,try using Bottom lock for the last 5mtrs,if yr not interested in the top 10mtrs maybe use yr shift function to help zero in.Agree with sea -kem re ghost echo.

I notice that the green line
I notice that the green line thickens up at the same point that the white starts to show in the water column above the bottom. It is like the gain has started to increased at this point.
Sea-kem I doubt it is a ghost echo as if it was a fish sitting at a constant depth it would show the same contour as the bottom as any change in depth showing is more likely to be swell rather than the bottom changing

Yeah I see what you are
Yeah I see what you are saying Crano as it does look like a strong return. Maybe BL would sort the image out a little clearer.

Thermocline
The interference in mid water is probably due to a thermocline where there is a pocket of water at a different temperature to the levels above and below it

i was thinking it looks like
i was thinking it looks like you turned to gain or sensitivity up the green line and all that blue clutter youve got appeared at the same time. .. the rest of your bottom trace has slight green line.

I too think the aberations midwater is thermoclines
But reading still Sounder screens can and is a challenge. I would love to see whiting on that setting, but Im also a convert that it is weed.
Go back and see if is doubters are wrong and it IS whiting.
