WoW Seneca 8-3-2011 Brother Stan came up from home looking to get into some fish and BS for awhile with me he brought his dog King. We were on the water a bit after 7am it was lumpy and windy so a wet ride across. Stared to set up out deep aways from way-point from yesterday. Put first rigger down 48’ and started to put the next one down and the first one fired with a 23†laker……It was like that for a while good action picking 2 just legal landlocks and two legal rainbows we put back. Things slowed down a bit and waves were still a pain but we stayed with it trolling north-south…..then west……back east….then north….crazy pattern but it was working……..then we were into a south troll into the heavy waves deepest rigger goes ( at this time it was 57’ ) good fish heavy brother Stan was working it so I figured to make it easier and turn and get the wind at our backs…………good idea but I turn into the fish and to quick……………….it came right into 8’ of net range came out of the water two times thrashed around some flipped a fin up and was gone ……..BIG landlock I’m guessing 10# but hey it could have been 12#.......or 7# ……LOL………we had 9 fish in the box so I did a slow troll back to port………….had a mark out deep on the GPS put it in and within 100’ of it shallow rod fired with a 16.5 bow hooked bad so we boxed him and called it a day…………..we went 14 for 16 or so……….. ran just three riggers long leads and spoons…….41’ did the smaller landlocks and bows with some of the other landlocks also……….49’………57’….then dropped it to 62’………two lakers the biggest bow and the HUGE landlock we lost……………GREAT TIME !!!!!!!! ended up with 3 lakers , to bows and 5 landlocks in the cooler

False bottom reading on depthfinder !!!!!
ERABBIT replied to ERABBIT's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Read up on it that's what I did then bought one thru Cablea's for $70.00 I thought it would take me one level higher without paying a lot more money for the next level unit...........knowing what I do now I would ask around about a Airmar transducer......right now most of the time when things are working right on the depthfinder I'm 85% of the time using the 83/200 beam........I used the quadbeam a few time but it cut the screen down making it harder to see marks...........in all fairnest I have NOT run it enough to say it worth it............sound GREAT when you read what it will do and may be good on a bigger screen than I have............. -
Just thinking.......when my transducer went bad ............the bottom reading was a very thin line almost a blue color and I didn't mark much of anything else.............the bad transducers were made in 2010 as I understand it............if I have to get a new one and have to pay for it I,m about 95% sure I would check what people say here about these...........Airmar... http://www.airmartechnology.com/

Mine I still run the unit I just shut the sonar off on the one I'm using for GPS....
-
I feel your pain.....could be if your running both units at the same time your getting interferance (sp)....... try just running one.....I have two 788ci and use one for GPS and the other for depthfinder when I turn the sonar on the GPS unit I got those lines also.....I got more help on this site with mine than from HB............

Lots of copper pullers in my camp here on Seneca , some also pull out deep with fair results.......just a heads up both lakes have a ton of zebra mussels on the bottom all the way out past 100'.......so they have a "good" or should I say bad feel when there hook gets jammed up with a zerba mussle..........

Fish hawk speed and temp
ERABBIT replied to Jbasile's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
It has to be in the water to pick up the signal from the probe , then it travels by way of a wire to the head unit................its like a large transducer with a pattle wheel for surface speed and temp..........so yes you could but it would be tricky.............my buddy from Mass. that fished the fall run the same time we did had his transducer rigged up on a steel rod that he would lower into the water and lock down some how.........guess things had a way of coming up missing so most every thing on his boat was easy on/off..... -

ERABBIT replied to ERABBIT's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Yankee Troller I can't find this in my book anywhere did you mean "Advanced mode" ??? I think that the "Noise Filter" may be the problem I'm almost sure I turned that OFF..........and after reading what its for may also solve my higher speed crazy reading when I slow down......... Thanks again........
