I fished with (Limits) in Newport for rockies, and my Lowrance mark 4 had the same problem, meanwhile he had a Lowrance elite 5 hdi (if i remember correctly), and he could see WAY more detail in structure, AND the fish hovering above the rocks. All i could see with mine is depth and that it was rocky. I need a new fishfinder if i want to target the rockfish. And next time, i think I'm going to use sardines instead of squid, in hopes of avoiding the lizard fish and croaker.
