  1. big fish friday- we went out and were in search mode.we fished from 150 fow to 500 fow from sandy all the way way to braddocks. there were temp and currents breaks everywhere that were holding fish and the bigger fish were holding along the deeper breaks. by the time it was time to go in we were both exhausted from reeling doubles and triples hookups on long coppers with only  2 of us aboard. we ended up 5th on bff and was confident going into the shoot out that we could pull 4- 20 pounders for our box.                                                                                                                     saturday morning we motored out a little  east of sandy and set down in 200 fow. marked a lot of bait and fish but pulled nothing bigger than 10 pounds. moved out deeper and size started to improve but the majors were scattered for us today. managed to pull 2 20 pounders by covering a lot of water  and added them to a box with a 16 and a 10 pounder. it was getting close to the time to head in when a 400 copper went off pulling a minion meat rig and we added another 16 pounder to the box.we ended up in 12th place. my crew did great today. we didn't lose any of our big bites even though we should have because every big bite resulted in a tangle with another line.  i am happy with our finish. nothing more we could have done. just couldn't find the majors. thanks guys for putting on this event. we love it and will be entered every year.

    Chas - CHIRP isn't a single freqency. It refers to a RANGE of frequencies. May differ according to different manufacturers and transducers but there are basically three sometimes separate ranges that can be selected on SOME finders: Low, Medium, and High. The 350 you refer to would probably fit in the medium range.

    yes chirp can be any frequency.i think he is talking about about the down vision frequency on his garmin. my medium chirp ducer operates at 95-155 khs

    There are a few models of triple Big Jons with different pricing. I'm looking at the heavy duty diver models and I suspect that one model is perhaps older (and maybe problems with it?) as it is over $100 cheaper than the other and the other has what looks like a more solid base to each individual rod holder. Anyone with direct experience with each? The first pic is of the more expensive and perhaps more sturdy? set.

    i have been using the holders in the second pictures for years with mag divers and plenty of matures king hits and never had a problem.
