[cool]Pretty much on target. One fish can hang in the same spot and look like a passing school. Or one fish can zip through beneath you, but the slow scroll will make it look like it is moving slowly.
I repeat...much of the value of a sonar is not necessarily to find fish targets and then harvest them. It is to gather information on depth, structure and fish suspension levels, if any. I is rare to see a blip, drop a bait and catch the target. But, if you can find a bit of structure, with numerous fish signals on or around it, you should work it over thoroughly. Without the sonar you would likely never know it is there. With sonar, you can fish a smaller area with greater expectation.
