Hi all...I run & fish in moderately turbid, shallow water with an average depth of 8' - 16'. Sometimes as shallow as 2' sometimes as deep as 50'.
My FF is a H-Bird 581i HD DI. I really get lost in all the numbers and was hoping that maybe one of the gurus out there could help.
Specs for my transom mounted transducer: DI is 455 kHz / 75* cone or 800 kHz / 45* cone. Traditional is 200 kHz / 25* cone or 455 kHz / 16* cone. I'm confused!!
What settings are best for:
1 Cruising and WOT on the flats (2' - 4') where depth accuracy is most critical?
2 Cruising and/or drifting in average depth looking for fish?
3 Cruising and/or drifting in deeper water looking for fish.
4 Watching your jig move up & down thru the water column.
I am familiar with the term RTFM...which I have done a few times...I also know that one must experiment...
...which I have also been doing.
Thanks for any & all replies.....Mike
