Shadows
Shadows are created around areas where the ultrasonic beam cannot ‘see’. These areas include hollows
on the bottom or beside rocks and ledges, where the strong echoes returned off the rocks obscure the
weak echoes of the fish and may also create a double bottom trace. See following for an example of
the sonar display in such an environment. A double bottom trace is shown on the display.
When looking for fish with the wide angled 50 kHz frequency, be aware of increased shadows. Use
the high frequency 200 kHz in areas that have rocks and ledges because this frequency reduces the
shadow effect considerably.
The differences in the cone width affect what is displayed. See section 4-2 Single and Dual
Frequency fishfinding.
Frequency and cone width
The pulse generated by the FISH 4500/4600
transducer travels down through the water,
spreading outwards to form a rough cone shape.
However, the cone width is dependent upon
the frequency of the pulse; at 50 kHz it is 45°,
whereas at 200 kHz it is 11°. The chart shows
how the cone width varies over depth for each
frequency used. Figures are approximate.
