Can you remember what your SOG or down speed was when you read these?

Brian

[Storm Warning II]

What down speed were you goin' with those depth "hits"?

Spinnys/flies? 'Poons? Both?

[TOP SECRET]

All spinny/flies with sog of 2.8 and downspeed on the depthraider of 2.1. 2.1 on my depthraider equals 2.8 on my friend's fishhawk.

If you had 300 feet out and the diver hit bottom and you read your depth finder and it said 78 ft, what was the true of depth of the diver over 200 feet behind your boat? It should be deeper than 78 ft

No, I was watching close and as soon as it ticked I knew the depth. So even over 200fow it still would be down only 78ft.

I think he was referring to the slope of the bottom. As in, if you hit bottom with your wire rod (which is somewhere near 200' behind the boat, you were reading the graph 200' south of where the line hit bottom. On that note, unless there is a crazy drop off in Sodus 200' isn't going to make more than a 1' or so difference in depth. That make sense?

Oh. Yeah that isnt going to make much of a difference.

[ray koziatek]

now take a true measurment on shore compaired to line counter

[gander lander]

if you dont have exactly 1000' of wire on certain reels those line counters will be way way way off! diawa 47lc for example.

Mine reads 1150 with 1000 foot of wire.... as the spool reads

[TOP SECRET]

Totally agree, but for arguments sake lets assume 300' of wire on my reels equals 300' +/- 25' on yours It should put you in the ballpark.

I also got a new toy tonight to play with tomorrow!
