dayvid

not sure if you can make it out welder but he is about to tuck into a fish, got a decent camera too but never take it, will do from now on though 

I like Fox gear a lot of mine is made by Fox and each to their own how they spend their money , 
£599 for this , has to be the biggest rip off yet

Best of luck muft 🎣
Picked up my bait for my trip today 😁

 
 

I am still not sure I could commit to crocs long term secretly they are comfy and useful but they do make me not want anyone to see me wearing them, I get a guilty feeling when I slip them on 😁 
When you go to discos dayvid? 
Do you rock around the Croc? 😯
 

Their is no difference from run or drop back and the latching time should remain the same whether single bleep or run.

LOL ,the cheap ones are cheap but functional ,thin on the sole though , the genuine Crocs are far superior and much more comfortable .
I m
Mostly wear them at night ,   Mostly ………...

Cant help thinking your advertising this venue , not just here but other forums as well .

If you read Davyd’s posts you will understand that the main answer to understanding the results displayed by the Deeper is experience. The more you use it the more you understand.
 
In response to Elmo’s straightforward question “ does it show … “ the answer is an unhelpful yes and no. hence this rather long post.
 
The only information that can be gathered from a SINGLE ping of any sounder is the strength of the returned echo (reflection) and the time it has taken to be returned. An echo is generated when the ping hits a change in density surface. Generally this is interpreted on a screen as a colour pixel corresponding to the strength and it is shown at a certain depth depending on the time.
 
Remember the ping is not a single point that is sent down and returned, it is actually a wave front that has three dimensions – usually referred to as a cone. There is NO information as to where in that cone – e.g. front and back or side to side – the echo is coming from. So within that cone you may get many echoes which will show on the screen on a single vertical line of coloured pixels (colour depending on strength of signal)
 
The size of the cone is usually described as the angle it subtends at the surface. A higher frequency ping has a narrower frequency cone. That is why you have a choice of two (or even three now) frequencies.
 
Imagine you are sounding over a flat concrete bottom. You will see a pixel representing the exact depth of the water. Vertically below that dot, you will see more pixels caused by signals coming from left and right and fore and aft. These will APPEAR to be deeper – i.e. lower on screen – than the first echo because it has travelled a further distance. The hardness and the texture of the bottom will have an effect on the strength (colour) of pixel received.
 
There is another property of the ping which also depends on the frequency. A higher frequency ping is absorbed more quickly than a lower frequency ping. This means a lower frequency ping can penetrate more. For example it may hit some weed and return a weak signal shown as green then it may reflect off the bottom and get a stronger echo shown as black. You may then think that green represents weed and black represents a hard bottom.
 
Remember this explanation only represents one ping. In practise you get many pings per second. Then you introduce movement to the transducer by dragging it through the water and the interpretation of what you are seeing becomes a lot more complicated.
 
So to answer Elmo’s question, you should understand all of the physics involved in the sounding process and then apply it to direct experience. Calibrate your observation with what you can actually see in the water.
 
IMHO People who say fishfinders remove skill from fishing are missing the point. Fishfinders (echo sounders) give you a chance to apply a whole new area of skill and experience. It adds to, rather than relaces, other hard earned lessons.
 
 

Well let’s see how this pans out ,
Arrived at this venue around 06:00 this morning and setup with bivvy up rods in around 07:00 
Fishing three rod, 2 with pop ups and one with particle on , so far  3 fish  16-17 and 25 

It all has its place , its just how you use it , 
What the deeper is good especially good for is dispelling laid down in stone ,facts about the lake bed like , Old river beds , Sunken holes , gullies  you get the picture , only to find none of it exists .
I dont have the heart to tell someone what its really like down their.

Not really, it gives you an idea from the echo return, I havnt used it enough yet   , but once you know what you are looking be it depth/drop offs ect  then use the marker .

Well indoors now , just missed the rain packing up ,
Two on Particle , Maple Maize and Fake Corn on top .
3 on Pop ups , Heres my typical pop up rig , Helicopter with Leadcore . 
Shimano Tribal 3;25 ,Daiwa Windcast with 18lbs Wychwood DPM
Mainline Popups .

Here is a shot of a flying fish I caught a few years ago. Didn't notice it when I took the photo, only when I put it on the computer.

Sunrise & sunset on the same lake different times of year 

Cracking session so far, fair play. Nice looking lake.  

Nice one Dayvid! 
 

Well in mate. Nice looking lake. Which one is it??? Day ticket or syndi?

Very nice .... well in 🎣

Are you sure that isn't your personal " pond " on your " estate " , Dayvid ? .
😁

22:15 this came on the yellow pop up 

19:00 on particle
