My FL20 was garbage in direct sunlight(the sun facing the flasher screen). I always had to hold my hand near the screen to shade it or turn my flasher around, putting the sun in my eyes.
Where the heck were you fishing? The surface of the sun?
Kidding aside, I really think that this is one of Vex’s best features. Besides the hypnotic humming .
I’ve only had trouble reading it when it is pointed directly at the sun. All I had to do is tilt the screen down slightly and could read it pretty well, not perfect, but good enough. I did find that it was actually more visible in the summer months on the bow of my boat in direct sunlight rather than on the ice. The glare from the snow and ice I’m sure play a huge part. Maybe even the low sun angle as well.
