If they need a backup story i can tell them about a 10 lb brown i caught off my inlaws dock on my 37th bday. ( i will leave the part out about that being the only fish ive ever caught off their dock in 20 yrs)
I was a sonar tech on submarines for 9 years... the best frq depends on what you want to do. Low frq will cover a greater area due to the cone angle of the transmission while a higher frq covers a much smaller area. However, a higher frq will pick up more in that concentrated area than low frq. Think of a low powered flood light with bad eye sight as low frq and a high powered, alpha male, mag light with eagle vision in a concentrated setting as high frq.
Went 8 for 12 fishing the south end of Seneca this morning most fish came on the east side around the painted rock, 110-150 FOW suspended. 6 LL 2 Rainbows all caught on spoons. Orange Mooselook ThinFish. Blue and Silver Michigan Stinger, purple and orange Alpena Diamond did most of the damage. Caught most on Seth green rigs but 2 on dipseys. Ran spin n glows and flies but no luck on those (i am probably doing something wrong with that setup as im not too familiar with them). We had a double and a triple hookup. It was awesome to have this much action on Seneca and i hope this continues throughout the year.
Fished lodi point area, 30-50 FOW, fish at 15-30ft. Copper, planer boards, seth green, leadcore. All lures, 2 hits 1 on copper one on seth green. None to the boat. Was nice to get out in January. Temp was 36
I have a 9.9 merc 25” shaft for a 24ft chapparral sport fisherman which weighs 3900 dry. Tops out at about 5 knots. Works great, no issues. Just need to connect it to the main because steering is a pain in the ass
