Location: Watersmeet, Michigan | Padre: It makes sense that a summer camp would likely have animals like "horse's" etc., so they likely have a electric fencer. It is illegal to cause radio interference. I would approach the camp owner(s) from a more benign perspective, e.g., "I'm trying to solve this mystery that only happens with my sonar on this lake." Its likely very fixable if its a electric fencer issue.
It's just a small bible camp on Lake Ellen. There's really not much in the area other than trees; no horses or fences, and the camp is on the opposite end of the lake. Like I said above, the DNR fish survey teams run into this on a number of area lakes and they believe it's caused by high-grade iron ore below the lake bed. (Magnetite gets its name because the iron content is so high that magnets stick to it. Because of the many near-surface iron deposits around these parts, compasses are pretty useless.)
