And how absolutely hilarious. Using radar to track birds to find fish.
Yeah....right Krause. Do you also use it to track those logs you spoke
of?
LOL.

I wonder how he will explain how his *radar* shows water depths.




It may be "hilarious{" to you, but it is s.o.p. for many sportfishermen.

I never said my radar showed water depth, or even implied that. *You,"
in your drooling idiocy, leaped to that conclusion, I pointed out you
were wrong, as did SWS, and you just press on regardless.

The world is safer because you are boatless.


" Radar showed the birds really were active, in and over about 40 feet of

water, ..."


Seeing birds on radar. Seeing water depths on radar.

Hilarious.




Let's try to break this down for you into a few (but not all) possibilities:

You have a radar set. You have a chartplotter. Your radar images can be
superimposed over your chartplotter images. Your charterplotter's "map"
shows depths or marked contour curves or both. Got the picture?


You have a radar set. You have a chartplotter. They are separate
instruments. You are familiar enough with the capabilities of your radar
set to guesstimate how far away the birds are...and when you look at
your chartplotter, you see the depths or marked contour curves or both.
Got the picture?

You have a radar set. You are really familiar with your area, so when
the set says "birds," you know by looking at the monitor where the area
is, and you know the water depth there is 10-12 feet at low tide, or
whatever. Got the picture?

There are more possibilities, but I don't want you to fry your brain.

Since you are NOT a boater, and never were a serious fishermen, you
ought not to make comments that so clearly show you don't know your butt
from a hole in the ground, eh?


A boat is "a hole in the water", not "a hole in the ground".

A hole in the water would be a vortex. Boats float on water. At best
you could say that a boat creates a temporary dimple on the surface of
the water like, say a gravity well does in space.

But hey, one old saw is as good as another. :)
