Fish On-
When running in heavy fog I will always set my radar from 1/4 mile to 1-mile range, it picks up mostly everything including lobster pots. Every mile or so I slow to a troll and let the radar do a couple sweeps at 2-4 mile range, just to get an idea what is out there, the BI high speed ferry can bear down on you in a hurry. Don't know about the log in the water never ran into that. In the fog I don't like to run fast radar or not. I will say it has saved many fishing trips which the fog would have grounded me otherwise.

Fly Rod- It makes sense to me on the radar dome height. I can however pick up large targets outside that range if conditions are right ex. Tugs and Barges. I typically never have a need to adjust the range that high.
