    We trolled last night in deeper water, moved in closer to shore today, couldn’t buy a bite. Mix it up a little this afternoon and try some casting. Marked a ton of fish and bait. My son will be calling for a mutiny if we don’t catch something soon.

    Not a good day

    We were out Sunday, and the flea situation was a little different than I have seen before. Downrigger lines and lead core / leaders were fine, however the dipsy wires were loaded with fleas. And they were very difficult to get off the wire, not the typical quick snap and they’re gone.

    I have the Helix 10 with chirp, Mega SI Gen 3 for $2000.  But if you don't want all the bells and whistles. You can get a Helix 10 that is just sonar and mapping for $1200. I honestly don't use all the side and down scanning when fishing for kings. We just have it to look at the bottom of the lakes we fish to see whats there. At home in Massachusetts, we fish off of the back of my boat with small shiners and a single split shot while anchored. The helix 10 has a jigging mode that is extra sensitive. I can see the shiner and small split shot clear as day down 30' and watch the trout swim up to it and hit it. Its truly an amazing song unit!!  Well worth the money. And they have awesome costumer service.
    And I just use the stock sonar transducer, its all you need. https://humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.com/fish-finders/helix/helix-10-chirp-mega-si-gps-g3n-cho?_ga=2.110792576.424990104.1598706607-1293592427.1528753537
     
    The picture below is the Helix 10 in Jigging mode. The wavy lines are a tiny pin head shiner with two tiny split shots above it. The straight lines under it are 15 inch trout swimming up the bait to check it out. Thats how sensitive this unit is. My Son said it was like playing a video game.  LOL

    Is the helix fairly simple to operate/ scroll thru settings/ set up?

    Cross bow recommendation

    in Big / Small Game

    Posted

    Thinking about getting a crossbow for myself and 2 boys we could all share versus buying 3 different compound bows that may never get used. Anyone have any recommendations for me to take a look at?
