BASICS
If a
partial
arch occurs most of the time on
your
unit
(the
mark curves
up,
but not back
down,
or
vice-versa)
it could be the transducer is not
pointed straight
down, If the transducer is
mounted on the
transom,
adjust
it until the fish show the
distinctive arch. This
may
take some trial and error
________ ________
until the correct
mounling
is achieved.
Remember,
there must be
some movement between the boat and the
fish to
develop
the arch.
Usually
this means
trolling
at
very
slow
speeds
with
the main
engine
in
gear
at a minimum
throttle
setting.
The
depth
of the water will affect the size and
shape
fish arch due to
the cone
angle
diameter. For
example,
if the cone
passes
over a fish in
__________
_______
shallow
water,
the
signal displayed
on the
X-50
may
not arch at
all,
due to
the narrow cone diameter and the resolution limitations of the
display.
_______
Compared
to a
paper graph,
an X-50 cannot show as
fine
of
detail
because the
pixels (dots
on the
screen)
are much
larger
than a
paper
graph's markings.
Therefore,
the X-50 cannot show fish arches as well as
_______ _______ _______
graph,
and it
requires
a bit more work
initially
to read and
interpret
the
screen than a
paper graph.
_______ _______
_______
Very
small fish
probably
will not
arch at
all,
while medium sized fish
will show a
partial arch,
or a
shape
similar to an arch if
they're
in
deep
water.
Large
fish will
arch,
but the
sensitivity
needs to be turned
up
in
deeper
water to see the arch.
Because of water
conditions,
such as
heavy
surface
clutter, thermoclines,
etc.,
the
sensitivity
sometimes cannot be
turned
high enough
to
get
fish arches.
One of the best
ways
to
get
fish arches is to
expand
or "zoom" a
_______ _______
segment
of the
water,
for
example
40 to 60 feet The
smaller the
segment,
the
better the screen resolution will be.
Then,
turn
up
the
sensitivity
as
high
_______________
as
possible
without
geffing
too much noise on the screen. In
most water
depths,
this method
should work to
display
fish arches.
WATER
TEMPERATURE AND THERMOCLINES
Water
temperature
has an
important—if
not
controlling—influence
upon
the activities of all
fish. Fish are cold blooded and their bodies are
always
the
temperature
of the
surrounding
water.
During
the
winter,
colder
water slows down their metabolism so that
they
need about a fourth as
much food as
they
consume in the summer
Most fish
don't
spawn
unless the water
temperature
is within rather
narrow
limits. To find the different
temperatures,
the
X-50's surface
temperature
display
is a
valuable aid to
your
boat. This unit
provides
an
extremely quick response
to
identifying
the desired surface
water
spawn-
ing temperatures
forvarious
species.
Trout can't survive in streams that
get
too
warm;
bass and other fish
eventually
die out when stocked in
lakes that
remain too cold
during
the
summer. While some fish have a wider
temper-
ature tolerance than
others,
each
has
a
certain
range
within which it tries
to
stay. Schooling
fish
suspended
over
deep
water lie at the level that
provides
this
temperature
in
which,
we
assume, they
are the most comfortable.

SENSITIVITY These
keys
control the
graph's sensitivity.
The
digital's sensitivity
is
always
automatically adjusted,
while
the
graph's senstivity
is auto-
matiCally adjusted
when the X-50
is in Automatic. The receiver
sensitivity
has 31
steps
which
allows
adjusbnent
for a wide
range
of conditions. The left

key
decreases the
sensitivity,
the
right
arrow
key
increases it.
ZONE ALARM This
group
of
keys
control the
X-50's zone
alarm. It can be
used as a "fish
alarm" that will sound if fish
or a
school of fish enters The
alarm
zone. The bottom
signal
will
also set off the alarm.
