Is that your jig working up to the decimal?And that’s not the bottom at 90’ it’s bait pushed down showing a false bottom in roughly 150’ of water.

If you look close there is a couple different jigs going down to the top of the bait and back up through the fish. I can’t tell you how many doubles we had on that morning.Is that your jig working up to the decimal?
I agree. Although my experience is not as long, I have caught most of my fish when there were no arches seen or recently seen.Seeing a bait ball and some fish arches can be encouraging. However 99% of all the fish I have caught in saltwater in over 25+ years have been when there are zero fish arches on the screen and I have always had good quality equipment. I too think seeing fish arches in the saltwater is overblown.
Absolutely. You are only seeing a small area directly under your boat. Saw very few fish and not a lot of bait in Hardy last week. Lots of fish biting though.Seeing a bait ball and some fish arches can be encouraging.

I have a Lowrance Ti with a three in one. Not sure if I could hook a second transducer to it. Does yours have a second, separate jack for a transducer?Curious to know what the setups are? I absolutely have caught fish when there was nothing on the screen. Currently I’m running Lowrance with their 3in1 transducer but just ordered an Airmar to add on.
When I see this under my boat it’s go time and when it’s like that things happen fast. Really fast!

My elite FS can only take one but the HDS live has 2 ports.I have a Lowrance Ti with a three in one. Not sure if I could hook a second transducer to it. Does yours have a second, separate jack for a transducer?
Depends on the size I think. 7” and smaller have one port. 9” and bigger have twoI have a Lowrance Ti with a three in one. Not sure if I could hook a second transducer to it. Does yours have a second, separate jack for a transducer?

It depends on the fish for me. I absolutely look for arches when bottomfishing and looking for rockfish. They show up very well with their large swim bladders. I rarely look for arches for salmon. I look for bait.Seeing a bait ball and some fish arches can be encouraging.

Going to watch that as I am just using stock setting all auto on my axiomThe Raymarine live guy is running a special episode on this topic June 25. He will post it to youtube after that. Although it is based on raymarine gear, I think most of the info is generally applicable and he's an amazing technical resource. (I'm not plugging raymarine...just sharing some info!)
