I have a 2250 and I had the same questions. Depending on the mode you are using, and if you have the setting turned on for tracking fish, you may be picking up your lure instead of fish. Does the display show the fish going up as you raise your line? Are you putting your locator in the same hole or very close to the hole you are fishing from?I have found that the gain can be set low in water under 30' and show suspended fish quite well. I have not been able to pick up perch that are on the very bottom though. Buddies have a very narrow cone at just 9 degrees so you won't see all the fish that are in the general location that you are fishing. Just after I learned how to adjust my gain and how to track my lure, I saw a lot of fish show up that I could not hook. After thinking about it for a while I realized that it was my lure and not fish that was showing up on my screen. Now that I know this, I can tell my lure from the suspended fish and adjust the depth that I am fishing at and move up or down to where the fish are suspended. Bigcat walked me through my problems and I bet he will be able to help you to. Give him a PM and ask for his help. DKS
