Any ideas what this might be at the bottom of the screen?  It starts at about 70' and stayed at that depth to the bottom even when I was in 100'+ feet off water.  Thermocline? This is on a Garmin 73cv.

I found this, it looks like the same kind of thing. Deep trees.

Thanks for the reply Dan.  It does look like that.  I would've thought that the CV sonar would have been able to pick out the individual trees.  The band of "noise" from the bottom appeared as soon as I crept into water that was over 70' no matter where I was. Kinda strange.

At first I thought thermocline, who knows, that's a ways down there. In the far left of your sonar screen it really looks like a tree to me.

Did it look the same when you were traveling faster?

When at a standstill or drifting very slowly like you were anything will just show up as horizontal lines. Best thing to do is turn around and make another pass at idle speed.

Yep, down imaging works better when moving on my stuff too.

Some cool shots I got yesterday after crappie with the helix 9 and new panoptics.

I just saw these replies, thanks.  I know what you mean about the horizontal lines when sitting still, but it did look the same even when I was moving faster.  I was cruising around the area with my trolling motor trying to find fish.  I never did find any, maybe they were hiding in the bottom "noise".

They were really packed in there.  That helix does a great job of sperating them from the trees.  Did you catch any?  That panoptix is very tempting.  I've watched allot of videos about it.  It's pretty amazing.

Yes caught 10 crappie that day and a pretty good bass.  Crappie we caught was in the 9 inch range. There bigger ones down there
