Fish Finders or depth finders???

I've fished with many boat owning fishermen & have yet to see one use
the FISH FINDING feature of their equipment. I realise that the depth &
proximity to stick ups & weed beds etc. are important, but why do they
ignore sure signs of big or many bass (I notice you can tell bass from
most species by their humpbacked appearance.) Do any of you actually
use the fish finding feature to seek & find fish? I'm not being
facetious & I've always been curious about this. Carl Cheers. Good
fishing & better catching

There is no way a fish finder can tell you what type of fish is down there.
With the fish symbols turned on, anything down there that will reflect
the signal will appear as a fish. Whether it be a real fish, submerged log
or beer can. Turn it off and save youself some fustrations.
