You, however, might consider experimenting with chart speed when

you are stationary or drifting very slowly. Sometimes, you may achieve

better images as you decrease the chart speed to match the speed of

your boat.
If you are at anchor, ice fishing or fishing from a dock, experiment with

a chart speed of 25 percent. If you are drifting slowly, try a chart speed

of 50 percent. When you are stationary and a fish swims through the

sonar signal cone, the image appears on the screen as a long line in-

stead of a fish arch. Reducing the chart speed may result in a shorter

line that more closely resembles a regular fish return.
