Thanks for input, helpful

Stinger thanks for the info, will look into what you suggested. Have no idea what F 585 is worth on market. Sure I have two transducer mounts for transom one is a 1K transducer that was only used one season. Adding a side scanner transducer would involve a transom mount?

Thanks. Very useful info. Food for thought Dont like hanging transducers on the stern since I had it replaced , my question is can I have two thru hull transducers one on either side of boat , will they interfere.? If I can I can split screen chartplotter gps and ff screen What model did u end up buying ? So basically then the 585 has its limitations sonar wise. Dont think I ever learned to use it right. Kept it simple n auto mode

Looking to replace my Lowrance 15 GPS fishfinder unit with a new unit. I only use it for GPS and plotter. It no longer marks fish saved and black n white hard to see. Know most units are combo units but don't plan on using transducer. Have little used Furuno 585 with thru hull transducer as main fish finder. Looking to spend around $500-$700

Thanks Gill-T for info. Appreciate ur help

So what is the walleye bite like at the Cat ? Only ever been to North East Marina one time. Is the perch bite ever good at the same time walleye are in that area. Coming from a five hr drive eastern Pa so timing is everything Thanks guys for any help

Fished Erie first time out of North East Marina 9/10-9/15, lake and weather was perfect. Boated approx 60 fish . Used down riggers, big boards, and dipsey's little. Last two days added worm harnesses with crawlers. Out of four on board two were not very helpful on boat because of their physical condition, otherwise our catch would have been better. 10 color lead core worked good with Baker stick baits mostly chartreuse. Used deep diving stick baits with 3-4 oz drop weights . Seems fish bite light and frequently didn't know fish were on until changing lures. Thanks to all who helped with information on where to fish etc. Had to buy cheap electric fillet knife.Those fish have a tough exterior skin and bones. Special thanks to Schults and mr 580 for their help. Surely will make it an annual trip

New to Lake Erie 17 minutes ago by cheeseyrider 1 FOLLOWER 0 REPLIES 10 VIEWS Fished Lo for thirty five yrs mostly out of Oak Orchard and Fair Haven Have 210 Thompson well equipped to fish Erie. First attempt at fishing for Waleyes Doing some research and coming up with Walnut Creek Marina on Pa side as a launch site See Barcelona is not too far either don't know how far by miles. Planning on staying a week since it is a long trip from NE Pa Pretty much know methods to fish trying to zero in on places to stay rent close to launches. Would imagine fishing out of Walnut Creek same as Barcelona. Appreciate anyone that is willing to offer any info. Thanks Cheeseyrider

THANKS FOR SHARING

Tried sending you a PM but indicates not set up to receive them ??

mr580 Thanks for the good info. Although i love LO fishing, browns, targeting steelies, and salmon, not real fan of salmon for table fare, except maybe the silvers. Think I'm gonna have to make a trip or two to Erie this year. Are the perch available all season or is there a certain time for the hot bite like now that fisherman become tight lipped?

Thanks for ur help n time captain

When you encounter Kings and breaking leaders can you eliminate the floro leaders altogether and go right to main line with snap swivel or will that reduce your catching? Or step up the floro to 20 lb Thanks for any help
