  2. I don't have to worry about getting shot on the job.

    Keep in mind that whether the laws enforced result in a fine or jail time isn't up to the officer. They're just doing their job.

    REALLY.......I think the "officer" must have been some power hungry punk that doesn't deserve a job dealing with the public

  3. Perch on Seneca are VERY skitish.....give the other guy lots of room or you'll kill his fishing.......Throw your baits away from the boat. Many are using electric trolling motors to move around. Letting out 15-25 ft more anchor line can be considered a move.

    Good luck

  4. Thanks for all the tips guys.

    What I think went wrong yesterday is I did something s2pid.

    Snapped the flasher on the wrong way around and fished for 1 hour. When I retrieved

    the tackle, my connecting line (between dipsey and flasher) was all twisted on my wire line.

    I think this caused a kink. I thought about re-tying the line, but left it (too many fish on the \

    chart!) About 30 mins later I pulled in the wire dipsey and pop, everything came off.

    What I normally do with my rods is take all the tackle off up to the wire snap swivel. Then I take

    my 2 piece rod apart and carefully put them together trying not to kink the line. I then put the rod

    in a sleeve and it goes in a compartment. I need to do this as I have a bow rider and need to get

    the rods off otherwise I can't put my cabin tarps on.

    Unfortunately there is a risk for the line to coile out some and also get some kinks through the guides

    where the wire turns as I put the 2 pieces together. I will just have to keep monitoring.

    I have even though maybe to just cut the tie everytime and tie the wire end to one of the guides. It

    takes a few seconds to tie another loop and it will avoid a lot of kinks and wire un-coils.

    Mark

    This is usually caused by letting out your dipsey too fast even though your flasher was backwards. Always have some good tension on your wire rod when letting it out........otherwise your flasher rig floats back onto the wire

  5. Just outfitting my 16 ft Alumacraft 16CS (no downrigger yet) but need a fishfinder. Any advice would be appreciated. Most of my fishing will be on Seneca (LT, Perch, Bass, AS,Rainbow etc. Almost always on the North end near Geneva.

    It seems confusing having been away from the sport for 25 years. I seem to have forgotten more than I ever knew.

    Down scan, GPS, color, .... all new to me.

    Regards & Thanks

    There so many good ones out there now...... set your price range first and then research the ones you think you like. You can get more info from the guys here on those units. I suggest color, combo gps comes in handy if you want to repeat going over a spot.

    Good luck

  6. Thanks daker!

    I'll try finding youtube videos on lowrance structure scan - but is this the dsi unit you are talking about? I have a 83kHz/200kHz dual transducer sonar fishfinder (Elite 5 Gold) - so I get the regular cartoonish looking images.

    Will the structure scan videos be applicable to my unit?

    Oops, my bad :o .....I thought I read DSI.......anyways Ray's right! stay away from Fish- Id's and a lot of the auto modes

  7. I have an HDS7 with downscan which will give a similiar picture as your elite-5. Fortunately I have LCX-25 color graph also. When looking at both I noticed the fish do not look like the the fish you are use to seeing on a regular color graph. It will take some getting use to, but it is neat in that you see things much clearer than you did before. example a bait fish blob on a regular graph versus seeing individual fish in the bait ball, seeing something on the bottom you can actually see a fallen tree with the branches not just a blob on the bottom. If you you go to "You Tube" and type in Lowrance HDS or structure scan you will get a bunch of videos not only from Lowrance but guys that are using this equipment, and hopefully you will get a better idea of what your looking for. Good luck
