I liked it. I would like to know what is the best configuration for fishing in waters between 20 and 130 meters deep. I would like to know more about the hardness of the bottom, as I fish for snappers and groupe rs

Gracias Thank you friend I will take it into account. Another question with a chirp transducer is possible to have a better reading of it. Seabed

Jesusahn,

CHIRP transducers are more effective for detecting fish targets throughout the water column, while Conventional Wave (CW) transducers are better suited for seabed classification because they operate at a fixed frequency.
