[cool][blue][size 1]It will probably be a couple of weeks before I get on the water with the Cuda again. I am going to make a fast trip to the Sea of Cortez next weekend, without the sonar. Don't need it. The water is shallow over the reefs and crystal clear. [/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]I just went out to the garage and hooked up my Cuda and checked the settings. Here's how it reads in a non-fishing situation. I think I have it set that way for fishing too: Some of the settings are likely default settings. The main ones to check are sensitivity, Scroll Speed and Fish ID.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Display Contrast - 47%, Noise Reject - Low, Deep and Shallow Alarms - both Off, Fish Alarm Off, Fish ID - On (Not on "Track"), Scroll Speed 50%, Grey Line- 72%, Sens. - Max, Sens - Auto, Zoom - Off, Range Zoom - Auto.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]On the growth of the bluegills, I think the pattern is the opposite. My observation is that they grow to their ultimate length, and then turn porky. But, it might also be like humans. Some might be more prone to chunk up. I seem to have that tendency my own self. [/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Attaching a pic of a fat pair I got at Pelican in "the good old days". I don't remember the measurements, and there is not much in the pic for reference, but they each weighed just under two pounds. Used to have days over there after about the middle of May when you could release a couple hundred fatties a day, if you could hold up. Used flies or small plastics...black or purple best.[/size][/#0000ff]
