    Slowwww...

    Set up in 250, temp was at 115 down. Trolled north to almost 500 fow, stayed around 400 for a while after marking some fish in this area, but no takers. Marked a lot of fish up high in 50-80 fow, way up out of temp. Headed back in , picked up a teenager around 350 fow on a 300 copper with spoon, around 150 picked up a small king on meat. Marked quite a bit of bait/ fish in that 100-150 fow range as we were packing up.

    It’s actually a striker....same sonar as the echomap but really cheesy mapping and no touch screen.  I actually didn’t want a touch screen cause they kind of suck with ur boat pitching around.  I use my iPad/navionics for mapping.  Much cheaper than an echomap....more screen.  Love the garmin, easy to use...the sonar picture shown is the factory settings.  Would def recommend side imaging if ur a walleye fisherman.  Big thing with the echomaps is they are panoptix compatible (got one of those too for ice fishing/trolling motor).

    Thank you for the feedback, will be buying something soon!!

    If you look at the top of the screen you see a clean (white) return in the water column.  Down around 20’ you start to see the blue cloudy return (cold water has a higher density...density is what ur fishfinder is measuring).  I interpret this as the temperature break and it’s been pretty consistent at 80’-120’ out in Ontario the last couple weekends over deep water....same place where all the fishhawk guys are saying they’re measuring it.  This pic was taken out at Erie in June...walleyes going chomp chomp.

    Is that one of the echo map models? How do you like the garmin? I have read they are very easy to operate ?

    Swivels

    I have lost 2 fish this year on what I thought were good swivels. I just ordered the dream weaver DS2 swivels based on recommendations on this site. Toughest thing is to figure out how big the swivels are, as most sites do not tell you this key piece of information. Also how easy they are to open/ close. Hopefully I will not be disappointed with these.

    Nice mixed bag of fish today. Dipsies with ff did most of the damage, couldn’t keep the Mountain Dew blade in the water. 2 nice steelhead, 1 Atlantic, and several lake trout. Even with a broken elbow my son was able to reel in most of them. Fantastic day to be on the water.IMG_1367.JPGIMG_1368.JPGIMG_1369.JPGIMG_1370.JPGIMG_1371.JPG

    Is the Garmin Echomap compatible with any of the electric trolling motors? Looks like Canon is compatible with hummingbird? Motor Guide with Lowrance? I am getting ready to buy something and have heard a lot of good things about the Garmin.
