GRAYLINE
function can be
used to outline the bottom contour
which
might
otherwise
be
hidden
beneath trees and
brush;
it can
also
give

of the bottofti. A hard bottom re-
turns a
very strong signal causing
a wide
gray
line. A
soft, muddy
or
weedy
bottom returns a weaker
signal
which is
emphasized
with a
narrow
gray
line. Do
