42 degrees is at 76 down in 390 fow

I'm at 300 right now, making my way out. I will try 350 to 380 and go 45 to 60 down. I'll post.

I got so fed up with the Browns that I've moved out to 250 fow. Lines 60 to 80' down. Temp is 39 but still not marking anything.

Down temp is 58

I have set my lines at 18 and 25 with sliders. I'm in 75 fow. Let's see what happens.

I'll try that right now

I'm out here again. Still no luck. What's going on?

No, I did not mark any fish on the bottom. Not in 40', 70', or 80'. I only marked a few bunches of bait fish 30' down a couple times. I did notice that the temp near bottom was 45 degrees or less in all depths. Plus, the big brown hit on a cheater spoon. Was probably 20' down when ball was 40' down in 45 fow.

Upon hearing everyone say that there are TONS of browns between the tower and power project, I headed out there after lunch. Reports said 70 FOW. So that is where I set up. Nothing for 2 hours between the tower and the project so I moved to 80'. Still nothing. So I moved to 45 fow. Then.....BAM. The biggest brown I have ever caught from a boat. He came with a friend. Stupid eels. I boated another brown a half hour later. Just a small one. The rain became too much so I headed in. I tried slowing down, speeding up, zig-sagging. 10' from bottom. Different colors. Anybody have thoughts??????? 4 hours for 2 browns. I was expecting more success.

Still pretty slow.

I was out yesterday for 3 hours and only 1 skipper too.

I went out of Olcott on Saturday morning and had a bonanza. I couldn't help but have a fish on the line if it was in the water. I went out Monday afternoon and was completely shut out. Everyone was. Not even a hit. I tried 10-20'. Nothing. I went to 40', 50', 60', and 70' for lakers. Nothing. Funny how fast things can change.

I just recently installed my Fishhawk X4+Depth and went out on the lake without the probe. I had what seemed like issues as well. When I trolled, only the surface temp was displayed. But when I powered up and went 20 mph or so The display started briefly showing numbers that made no sense in the depth, down speed, and down temp. again, this was weird since my probe was at home also. The next outing I brought the probe. I lowered the probe into the water and everything worked just fine. I have no doubt that resistor plugs will help considerably with interference, but bring your probe out and see how the unit reacts with the probe in the water. Hope this helps. Jaime

I am looking for 2 Big Jon Manual Sideriggers, swivel bases, 6" pedestals, and 10# or 12# weights to go with them. Call me at (716)622-8854
