Ive always thought the depth included the ice ..
Well your doing it wrong, if you put it at the bottom of the hole you get more valid information off your flasher. What happens is the transducer waves bound back off the ice and with this you don't get the full potential out of your flasher. I know everyone has there own things and tricks they like to do but you should try your transducer at the bottom of the hole and maybe you might notice a difference! Fish On
Thx for the tips on placement of ducer while fishing..
Welcome, and that's what we were talking about depth of the water when, or while fishing. Not when checking the depth out of curiosity or doing depth charts...etc.
Water is water! Why would you include ice thickness? Water column starts below the ice .
