Trust me, its science. The top line should be mostly red in color. The bottom line may be green, orange, or red (depending on the strength of your system, how straight your transducer is, and the type of floor).
How do you find a fish with a flasher?
Red/yellow lines just above the bottom typically indicate fish. As you drop your lure down, the flasher will display it moving through the water column as a yellow/green bar. You can tell the difference between the red bottom and a red/yellow fish if the colors move and separate from the bottom.

The flasher displays the bottom of the lake, any cover present, your lure, and of course fish. Color indicates the size of the object on your sonar: Red = Large, Yellow = Medium, Green = Small. When you drop your transducer in the hole, the flasher will display the bottom as a large bar of red.

Vexilar offers anglers a choice of six depth ratings for the FL-8. You can adjust the settings to give accurate readouts at the following depths: 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, or 120 feet. It’s nice to have this versatility, especially in lakes and ponds that might vary in depth from shoreline to center.

Is the vexilar fl-8se worth the money?
It offers a decent value for the money, but there aren’t a lot of bells and whistles included in the package. If you’re looking for a bargain-priced model that will get the job done, the Vexilar FL-8SE (the “SE” stands for “special edition”) could be the answer.
