What a rolling boat does to the picture

These are two real Furuno CSH-10 screens of the same water. Drag across the image. With the stabilizer off, roll and pitch swing the 6° beam above and below the fish, and the picture smears.

Where is your beam?

Most of reading omni is knowing what depth you're looking at. Move the tilt and the fish and watch the beam. The same math drives the CSH-10's on-screen tilt indicator.

Lesson: tilt and the beam

Beam explorer

Side view of the CSH-10's 6° transmit beam. Move the sliders and watch where the beam goes, where it meets the bottom, and whether the fish is in it.

From the bridge

Reading the screen is the easy part. The hard part is getting the crew to stop watching behind the boat.
Capt. Steve Lassley, Bad Company, paraphrased from InTheBite
Don't chase every mark. Find your species' school, its edges and the direction it's moving.
Capt. Brandon Walton, War Party, paraphrased from InTheBite
When a mark disappears, circle and search in different directions. It turned one lost mark into two blue marlin.
Capt. Ken Blackman, C-Student, paraphrased from InTheBite
