Our sign was quite strong (more marked than that) at 250-300. About halfway up the water column. Dropped a bait but not for long - 10k home on a 40k trip. A distinct tight band in the column. Any ideas? Squid? Alan 1kw low chirp out from the Manukau, you can see a few fish at different depths . Had the gain up higher but dropped it to get a clear blue screen for the photo ! |
