What freq were you using? 200 or 83?
In that bay the current can be quite strong at times & at 119 ft you most likely were not in the transducer cone.
Try a heavier lure to see if it improves your results or if you can determine the direction of the current move the transducer over 10-20 ft & see if this helps.
Increasing the sensitivity should also help.

I've got the same unit you gotta turn the sensitivety to almost max I usually have it at 8 or 9 and use the black bottom feature. Fish hugging bottom will look like little bumps you can also zoom in

I run mine at max sensitivity and once my lure gets within 20 feet of bottom i use the zoom. You will have to move your transducer around a bit on different angles to mark your lure.
