I went out today with my FL 18 for its maiden voyage and was getting some readings that I didn't understand. Now I have "fished" with flashers my whole life, at least there was always one in the shack I was in, but I never really LEARNED how to read it. Today I was in the Auto Zoom mode in 10 foot of water and I was getting a reading on the left side and I couldn't figure it out. I was seeing my jig as a green line then saw the leading edge of the bottom as a nice solid red line about 1/4" to 1/2" then there was a thin green line then another thick red line. Other times the bottom was reading as a solid orange.
I am guessing that the times when it was orange it was telling me that it was a soft bottom, but I am not certain. What would the other be telling me?
This might be covered in the instructional DVD but mine did not have one, the place I bought it from said they would call Vexilar and get one ordered for me.
