how to catch fish with a fishfinder?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I already tested my Piranhamax 210x on our local lake and saw readings of fish on my screen but the question is, How do I catch them?

I mean, where would the fish be located after the reading of the transom? behind the boat where the readings took place? I know their depth so where do I start casting???

2009 Fishing Corner Salt Rock Kayak Fishing Competition

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

The 2009 fishingcorner.co.za Salt Rock Kayak Fishing Competition started early on Saturday morning in February. 161 kayaks took to the water armed with numerous rods, reels, gaffs, bait, lures, fish-finders and gps to hunt for the biggest gamefish possible. The start was at 5am, they could launch from one of three locations but had to beach at Salt Rock before 12h00. Many fish were caught : dorado, couta (king mackrel) snoek (queen mackrel) bonito, tuna. Only 1 fish could win. But first the paddlers had to negotiate some pounding surf with all of their equipment.

Will a fishfinder still reflect suspended objects even if the water is deeper than d fishfnder’s max capacity?
