No offense meant but how do you tell the difference between bait & fish, bass or blue fish, dogfish, etc......using fish icons.
May as well have a slot on the machine to put quarters like an arcade game 😜
Does your radar show boat icons ?

Bait looks entirely different than a school of bass or blues. I agree I can't tell the difference between bass and blues but bait, including pogies, look totally different.

You should have a setting on your FF which you can set for it to pick up fish that it reads of a minimum size. It will still show a school of bait but it would look like a grouped up bunch of suspended seaweed. The fish icons will come up when the minimum is read (i.e. you want the icon to show up on fish that are over 15", it will only pop up on fish of that size). Some FF's have alarms you can set for that too but that's a bit model based I believe.

I'm all set.
For you Googans that need advice, my 19 year old son Leo can be hired to tune and teach you to interpret your sounders.
