Schools keep moving while you draw. Lead the fish instead of tracing where they were.

Keep it clean
Wide loops catch more, but a single protected marker voids the whole survey.
Close precisely
Return within the start ring before the line meter reaches zero.
LIVE HYDROGRAPHIC EXERCISE
Close the loop.
Press on open water, draw around fish, then return to your starting point. A valid line closes when both ends meet.
