4' meaning about 4'

Secchi disk readings are doubled.  

Light has to travel to the disc....and then back to your eyeball.  Therefore a disc reading of 4' indicates that light travels 8' through the cloudiness of the water.   

A fish 8' deep can still not be in total darkness, and can potentially perceive color.

I thought you were supposed to be smart..... or something.   Were there not any qualifications for this high-falutin' moderator job you signed up for?  🤔

Yes.  I had to fail an iintelligence test.

I put in at Crabtree yesterday. Water was pretty dingy. Not really dirty but a lot of algae floating around.

Caught one keeper walleye, a crappie, and a spot. Pretty slow afternoon. 

I'm not into the visibility disk stuff, but I could see my jig down to 3-4 feet or so.

              This would be called the Giggle disk test.
