goin hungry

We did well today on South end for salmon today too. I can echo the thunder sticks being hot off the boards.

The iron ones are safer to chew on!

Thanks. For those that are looking for simple, I can tell you that when you start adding on the additional features, it can get confusing to navigate the different screens and get it set up to your particular type of fishing. With practice it gets easier, but it's not just "plug and play" for all conditions...

Anyone have the link to that thread?

I have the hummingbird 899 with both down and side scan. The problem with using it for trolling is that there is a lot of water between you and the bottom, so you can't see a fish on it unless you're in shallow water or really zoom it in. I have the unit, but only use the old standard sonar function when trolling. If I'm fishing 30 ft anchored for perch, then I'll turn on a split screen so I can see sonar and scan images. If you're looking to just use for deep water trolling, stock with just a good sonar unit. If you have the cash and want to fish shallow and see high detail (like a picture of what's below the boat) then go ahead and spend the extra dough to get the down and or side scans. I'd recommend getting out with a couple guys that have these units so you can check em out before you fork out close to a grand, and don't just get wooed by the screen shots or simulated images on the web or in the store - you wanna see how they actually function in real life and fit to your type of fishing.

Great! Glad to guys had such a good trip

Meathunter - what depth you finding them and what speed did they seem to like?

Fished a few hours out of severne late morning today. Marked very few south of launch. Talked to guys that headed north of launch and marked a lot of fish. Neither of us had a rod fire tho.... don't know what's going on with Seneca this year, but it's been a common theme with trout and perch...

Yup - that's them. Thanks guys!

Does anyone know the name of planers that attach directly to the downrigger cable right above the weights to pull the side rigger lines out away from the boat? I was on a charter and the captain used them but I forgot the name he called them. They are ten to twelve inches long and made of thin metal and clip right to the downriger cable. I know lots of guys bend the fins out on their weights to archieve the same effect but I think these may add another attractor component to the spread... thanks!

Jax- if you're looking 2 go bigger, this boat would make a fantasic charter boat for u and we'd be willing to work a trade - your boat is exactly what we're looking for... PM me if you're interested viewtopic.php?f=10&t=27843

yes, please!
