| Hello Again, Can fish detect the pulses from Fish Finders? I often anchor in fairly shallow water in less than 30ft if the wind is too strong to allow drifting and I often leave my Lowrance 15 dual frequency fish finder switched on. I sometimes find that fish bites disappear yet return when it is switched off.Is this just a coincidance? Do the pulses create a "scare Zone".My freinds tell me that it should make no difference at all as fish cannot detect the transducer pulses.It does make me wonder? I am reluctant to switch it off because it is such a great piece of kit even in 5 feet of water and shows fish,the nature of the sea bed under the boat, gullies and kelp. What do you think???? __________________ gadusgadus     |

| I sell them and the tech boy say it does not, but they switch it off once in posistion And only switch back on to do a quick check I do not think they hear the pulse but sense it , after all there is one big sensor down a fishes side Best is to do as steve says get into posistion and its done its work __________________ Richard|Sea Fishing |Carp Fishing| Spud Gun | Zander fishing | Fishing Reports | Hunting Reports |
