Target separation...

[Trevor]

I have a question for Fl-18 users.  I was just curious as to how much target separation you get with the zoom feature.  Now I don't care about how much Vexilar claims to get.  I would rather hear testimony from experienced users.  Yesterday I watched about a three pound walleye come to my lure while using the camera in the downview.  He was hugging bottom in fifteen feet of water and did not display on the Fl-8.  Well, I shouldn't say he didn't display, there was a subtle change in the leading edge of bottom which I have learned to interpret as bottom hugging fish.  I was just curious how this might have displayed using the zoom feature of the 18?

i use and eagle lcd and i used to think stupid fishfinder........we are sitting still and it shows rock piles.  what a scam.......then about 15 min later one of those rocks rose and took my lure.....lol! i had put if on the paper graph display and ir was a cool thing to watch. on this model it is like a flasher on the leading edge.

Trev: This will depend on how hard the bottom is, with a soft bottom it's harder to tell what's bottom and whats a fish. You are on the right track watching for any variance in the bottom display.
