Been down with some knee problems but went out today just to see if I could see the thermocline on my new Helix 9 - around Indian Point.  Maybe it has not established down this way yet or I just haven't dialed it in yet; however, I did note this (see below) and am asking your opinion as to what it is - kinda looks like Bill's view of a thermocline but at 100ft.  Bait fish does not generally show anything this plus it did not show on the down image view like bait fish always do..

Thanks

Bobby

 

With those quadrants it is going to be impossible to see anything of importance.   Narrow your view and just look into the top 50 to 100 ft. of  of water.  You are looking at a far to great of range.  Put your depth level at 100' and then Zoom in one time and you should have it, if the Bird works like that.

Bobby, that resembles an echo from something around 50 ft.

We are fishing the Jet on either long points or bluffends, the procedure is a long cast immediately picking up the slack to let the spoon fall on simi-tight line.  Using your electronics to have a good idea of the depth of the fish we are letting it settle to that depth and then swimming it back to the boat.  70% of your strikes will be on the cast and fall.  30% on the swimming retrieve.

Slab spoon is fished vertically to either suspended or bottom fish you are citing and sitting over.  let the spoon drop thru the fish and simply twitch your wrist upward, you don't need to jerk it to the sky, a 1 ft. rise or fall in the spoon with most often trigger a strike.  If this fails the drop shot is also an alternative. 

Good Luck

Can't thank you enough for the detailed info Bill, PRICELESS!!
