I have been reading alot of info on fishfinders, and have yet to find the answer to my question. I probably could have saved alot of time and posted here for member advise. (and by "save alot of time" I mean...be lazy )
I found the map of the lake we fish (simply "googled" it. I actually found a history report of when it's been stocked/with what, and a depth map). Anyway, the map shows 2 depths; 5' around the entire perimiter, and then a drop to 15'. We have always had pretty good luck fishing the reeds/coverage/logs etc in the shallows. Ok, the question. If we're in 5' of water, and our transducer is a 60 degree, how far is it showing from the boat? Are they worth the $$?
