Interference from something. Was it like that the whole time on the water? Might want to check and see that there isn't a bunch of sand in between your transducer and the Lowrance Ready plate that it's mounted on.

No, it only happened in a small area on the South side of the bridge. I checked my transducer after that day and there wasn't anything on it.

This thread has led me to question what I have been seeing on my FF. Fishing in Weems Creek tonight gave me the opportunity to ask for opinions / help as to what was on my very busy screen. What am I looking at?

Okay, maybe this is a dumb answer. But it kinda looks like suspended vegetation to me...like seaweed or branches. When it has soft leaves it can look like an arch sometimes. Especially being so shallow (13 feet) that would be my first guess. But it could also be fish. I guess it could be anything. Jesus, why did I even answer?

Air bubbles coming to the surface???

Haha I agree Huntrava. Looking at it again I only see one fish. The long dark streak at the bottom. The rest is probably a brush pile or tree of some sort. The only returns are the branches on leaves on the branches ? Maybe air bubbles trapped under vegetation? When I see that I am usually under a known brush pile of some sort. Just a big mess and I tend to steer clear when I see them. I've only experienced snags and lost jigs. Never pulled a fish from one.

That actually makes sense considering the marks get larger as they reach the surface.
