Actually, I was so happy to catch it, I didn't try again, I just left. That massive fish stream was not restricted to a tiny area so I just stopped somewhere in the middle of it, set down a marker, backed up a bit, casted out to the marker (front of boat) and caught my 12 lb fish on the first try. 'Can you tell us what side of the boat you selected to fish on and what side brought you the big fish? Did you have to try several different sides?' If you notice when I was stationary, the terrain did not move however, when I move, the terrain appears to change. 'Does the FF (sonar) rotates 360 degrees?'Īlthough I thought it did before, I do not think it does now. Unfortunately, I do not think my response will answer any of your questions but here goes: Originally posted by Lenny Rat:That's a lot of fish! Thanks for posting, Since we are trying to understand if the FF (sonar) rotates 360 degrees, can you tell us what side of the boat you selected to fish on and what side brought you the big fish? Did you have to try several different sides? Your boat isn't slowly moving slightly side to side with wind or current is it? This would give the impression that the sonar is rotating giving slight changes in contour/vegetation as it scans Regardless of whether it is proven or not, I added this post to the Ideas and Suggestions subforum to see if I can get a response from the Dev's:

The short (bottom) vegetation eventually made its way back onto the FF giving more credence to the possibility that this unit rotates. The bottom contour stabilized but the contours of vegetation continued to rise and fall as if the FF is rotating 360 degrees.

Normally I will see very short or no vegetation at all on the bottom of deep holes as you near shore the vegetation will get higher. I just checked it again this morning I drove to the edge of a drop-off on the map and dropped anchor as soon as I saw the bottom coming up. The contours constantly changes when boat is standing still and I am also confused by it. I'm in Russia right now, and the bottom contours and vegetation definitely change as if the unit rotates.
