Vegetation
The Vexilar FL series flashers are exceptional when it comes to reading inside vegetation.
With proper transducer choice, the colors will allow you to differentiate vegetation from
the bottom. Experience will even allow you to identify fish inside heavy vegetation.

eGetation
• Narrow transducer cone angles will perform better than wide cone angles.
• Keep the gain setting very low. Too much gain will make readings difficult.
• Move a boat slowly so you can identify openings that may hold fish.
Vegetation has grown
up to this point. In
deeper water (beyond
several feet) this is
known as the canopy.
It’s where the tops of the
vegetation spread out
Possible Fish
Although this red target
could indicate a clump
of vegetation, it could
also indicate a fish just
under the canopy
Bottom
Bottom will always be
the largest group of red
and orange signals.
Orange within the green
generally indicates
thicker sections of the
vegetation. Although it
warrants watching, as
it could also indicate a
fish on the outer edge of
your cone.
