How fast were you running. I have been told if you see your cannon balls on the graph you are going to slow. I run a hds7 from Lowrance . I still have a little trouble at times with reading the bottom in deep salt water. If I'm less than 350 it shows depth pretty good but not out in mid channel by the ship wreck. It just show blank but doesn't matter to me because all I look at is the top 120 feet of water and it show fish well. We also noticed the the fish seemed to move farther south as the tide went out.

9/27/2014 9:25:00 PMMost fish finders will only read to 500 feet deep in perfect conditions. There are many factors that will make conditions less than perfect. For me, I am lucky if it reads the depth up to 300 feet out there. Luckily, we don't need to find the bottom, we just need to find the coho, and they will not be that deep. No need to shell out hundreds of dollars just to read the bottom depth. I do similar to what the above poster said, and set my screen to show just the top 100 feet of water, which is just right for locating coho.

9/27/2014 10:46:00 PMThanks guys. I was about to try and move my transducer, but i guess ill just leave it alone. We were trolling at 3.0 most of the time. My brother thought my fishfinder was showing bogus readings right before we got the double. They were real thick south of the wreck too but we kept getting fouled up with seaweed there.

But that spot can get a lot of grass and the furbags like to hang out there. I lost two fish last year there and my bud lost one last week there in his boat.
