Braddock tonight
J.D. replied to tlax011's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
I fished out of Braddocks for a few hours Monday morning. Worked the 70 - 160 range, 3 for 4, lost a nice one on the wire, 1 brown and 2 small kings off the riggers on spoons and Apex. There are fish and bait in the area, lots of hooks 70 -110 deep, 50 degrees at 80 down. Had a number of "streakers" around the spread but struggled to get them to go. No real pattern, Stinger NBK, watermelon Apex, white Pro Troll paddle & white/ silver fly. A number of boats in the area, and a bit deeper. Maybe the evening bite will be a bit better. -

I don't even bother with the thread... coat the tape with clear nail polish.... never had one come apart.

I sometimes use the top of my fish cooler as a fillet board. a few wet terrycloth hand towels from the dollar store keep the fish from sliding around, and keep slime and blood from running down the sides.

It could be.... Once you're on the water, press the "auto" knob, and change to "fishing" mode. Set the transducer to high frequency only and see it the bottom depth on the chart matches the readout number. If it does, try the same thing with the low frequency only. If the readout number is larger than the actual bottom reading, it's reading the cone angle and not the bottom. Switch to duel frequency, and you should have matching numbers. I've never run the low freq. by itself, always in duel mode. Remember: transducer shows the distance between the transducer and the fish - not how deep the fish is from the surface. I use the narrow, high freq. for fish depth, the wide angle low freq,. lets me know if bait and fish are in the general area.

I also have been running the 620 for the last 7 years using an Airmar P66 transducer.. I notice on your screen shot you are using the 50 khz. wide beam alone. I'm willing to bet the transducer is pinging the depth along the long angle of the beam, IE: the hypotenuse of the triangle, not straight down to the bottom. The deeper you go, the farther off the reading will be. I always run in dual frequency, wide beam to scan for fish, narrow angle to mark bottom accurately. Furuno has a setting that allows you to add or subtract gain from each cone angle. Try backing off the gain a few clicks in the wide beam, or add a few clicks on the narrow beam. Also, check the transducer mounting and adjustment angle, sometimes the screws holding the transducer to the bracket get a bit loose and the transducer moves around under wave action. Hope this helps. Jim S.
