Guys,

I need to increase my knowledge about fishfinders. Not looking for
"sonar hits the fish results in a dot" but in detailed stuff,
technical things, tips tricks and such .... Stuff like what objects
cause what returns under which circumstances.

I have a Garmin 240 Blue, also am looking for users of this unit.

I couldnt find any really good info on the web, does anybody have any
links or knows about literature?

But maybe there isnt any more to it

Yes and no. Sonar is pretty basic, much like radar - it's in how the
signals are processed and displayed where the art is.

Do you have any specific questions about sonar beyond the basic "how
does this work" that you want answered? It would help to know what
you are looking for.

You could check out the bassandwalleyeboats.com website, or
in-fisherman.com
they have some informative stuff on occasion. Or ask questions in the
appropriate forum on fishingminnesota.com
