Really blurry. Could be grass, thermocline, maybe even turbidity if it is set too sensitive.

Or the Loch Ness Monster.

I was thinking the latter too, Will...

It is just a big gray streak runnig across the screen continuously. There is no shad or tilapia here, so it's not those...

Wouldn't be that thick anyways. Grass? Was the water muddy? Lot of rain, even flooded? Has there or is there some sort of turnover on those lakes you fish?

BTW, I am not a depth finder expert at all. Just another guy who has spent enough time chasing those little fish symbols to learn that was a marketing gimmick.

Then again I think I see the tell-tale 3 humps.

Extremely muddy. I'm talking 6-8" visibility. No grass I believe...

Oh, here's what happened to the lawn tractor yesterday.... Thank God it wasn't in the shop! I'd be pissed if my rods and boat burned down!

You are probably seeing stuff working up off the bottom. You gotta realize that with depth finders, its not like a TV, every now and then especially when dealing with murky water, soft bottoms, current, what ever you are going to see some anomolies. Well thats the way I look at it at least. Some people might be able to read those things like a book, but if I saw what you saw while fishing I would have just assumed theres some junk being kicked up in the current.

There are tons of carp in that lake. Probably rootin' up some sediment down there. I also saw some big fish on the graph, probably as you said...

hey buzz. every piece of water "turns" itself. meaning that it will turn over at some point in time. natures way i guess. i saw something like that too on my fish finder once. scared me to death, thought that the swamp thng was coming. but it was the lake turnig over. that may be what was happening there.

When you say 6-8" of visibility, I automatically assume Hudson. When we were there, Sunday, the water temp was 59-61* I don't know too much about lake turnover, but It could be.
