So the picture isn't great, but any ideas what is being shown on the screen?

Looks like your unit is broken... You should take me to the exact spot you found this reading and I will do my best to fix it

LOL! I had just brought up a YT and had decommissioned the gear when I saw this on the way in. Couldn't put the gear back together in time to test what I was seeing on the sounder.

I've seen arches, but never like this...

Right along the kelp...

thats what you want your meter to look like all day, everyday

Yep, what he said. That there looks like a good school of the right kind.

Thanks for the replies! Still learning this tough game...

I'll have to have some gear ready at all times!

Yoyo on standby for the winter. Surface jig standby for spring through fall

Wolfpack chasing a baitball.

Nice shot.

Thanks, T Bone for clearing this up!

I had the wrong assumption on what was what, but you were specific enough. The worm-like lines are the YT.

Like I said, I'm still learning. I'm sure glad I posted the screenshot now...

A small squirtgun or spray bottle with fresh water will help with the water spots on your screen.
