How To Identify Ramps/slopes On Garmin 521s?
I recently bought one Garmin 521s for my boat to start Jigging. I was told that the best spot would be to identify ramps/slopes/falls in depth on the seabed up to 100 - 150 m and then drop the jig down there and start jigging.
However, i am having trouble indentifying those slopes on the sonar and somehow fishing where i think the ramp is.
Any help/diagram/screenshot much appreciated.
Cheers
