Finding Bait fish for Bass

In a large lake very deep in places, 100 feet is common Smith Lake Alabama. I have a hard time finding baitfish on my electronics nothing wrong with my unit . Do the pros run into this on deep lakes? Thank You

Hi Douglas, I use Humminbird Solix units on my boat this year. I haven't tested them in water any deeper than 60' so far. I could identify bait extremely well on the St. Lawrence River in 50-60ft this summer. In some cases, I have increased my sensitivity to help get better readings down deep. Another feature I like to use in very deep water is dropping my upper range down to within 20 feet of the bottom. This really blows up the images on the screen in deep water. Below are a couple of good deep water seminars worth watching that will be useful.
