Eagle Cuda 350 settings - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

So far, mine has treated me good. I too spent time learning it's limitations. Get out on the water and just watch it. It is like anything else, the more you use it, the more you will understand it.

I used mine for the first time yesterday and I had the same issue. The symbols I saw were fish... I was able to see the depth and for the most part the stringers you're mentioning... I guess the more I use it and fiddle with it, the more familiar ill get with it... I thought I had screwed it up after rolling the kayak on my first attempt at la jolla yesterday, but I managed to salvage it... Thank god. I was a bit anxious and jumped the gun... Rude awakening and a lot different than launching out on the bay... Even as flat as it was. I think next time ill stash the head unit in the bucket until I make it out...

I went out to LJ yesterday too. I think I need to remount the transducer. It doesnt seem to give clear chart print outs. The bottom display isnt solid sometimes and is kind of broken up. I was able to mark some ledges in the canyon and even had some specks above the bottom. I dropped bait and got bit so I figure it was working. However even if there were no marks I still got bites. I guess I need to start with the transducer and work from there. Thank you for everyones advice.

I dont think you would necessarily see every single action on the screen.
