When I bought my boat, a fish finder was part of the purchase, a portable one at that. It is this one..

It seems like a decent one for a beginner. Anyway, my question is this: If I have the what I think is called the transducer mounted on the transom in the proper location, and while using the unit I see fish, just where are those fish? The transducer is on the back of the boat, so does this mean that's where the fish are? Or is the transducer looking forward, or to the sides? Sorry, I know this may sound silly, but I have never used one of these things before. And I could use some help.. How do you know where the fish are at when you see them on the screen?
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
