sonar attraction?

[river_scum]

have you ever wondered if the click of the flasher actually attracted fish?  i mentioned that to a buddy the other day, and he said he wondered that before too.  has anyone ever seen anything about this studied by science?  whats your thought/theories on this?

I have seen the big sunfish bite shut down by the flick of the switch on a vex, 3 minutes later he left and the bite was on again..

I have one, but don't always use it because of that..

Sonar is strong stuff..

Have witnessed the same thing as Ice Scratcher. But only in shallow water. Vexilar, Marcum etc.

spooks them shallow here too

I like the difference it makes when using the 28 as opposed to all the other vex's I've heard. I don't know any other finders that have as quiet of a hum as the vex28.

never seen adverse reaction to a sonar ever. gets me onto them and then able to pick them off from the top one by one. if i see them not biting i might try turning it off to see if they bite, but the camera will let me know if they are still there and just tight liped.

My issues are always shallow water too.. 10ft or less..

I was fishing in 100ft of water and all of sudden my flasher fell in hole I looked down in hole a big pile had transducer in mouth.so I think they feel pulses

In shallow water I have watched the fish on camera freak out upon entering the sonar cone of my fl8. Even with the suppression  cable in use. I have read elsewhere that the larger fish are more prone to this do to larger lateral line. This was always in 10 ft or less.
