Pyramid Friday 4/10 - LMB and surprised by stripers

[shinbob]

However, the jetskis and water tubers are starting to make an appearance, and that will only get worse as the weather warms up.

I should have mentioned that the jetskiiers and tubers yesterday were great, and always gave me a wide berth. One was on a course to cross my lines while trolling, but didn't and swung away. Wish they all did that.

Thanks! I'm still learning how to interpret the images, but I can see that the shadows are very important fior determining depth. Though I'm not sure why there are only shadows on the right side and not the left. Does that mean that the school was directly underneath me and to the right-hand side only?

open water to the left and bank on the right shadows are on the wall,,Thats my interp anyway,,,,,,,,No expert on S I but that's the wai I understand it,,,

Once again GREAT report

I just picked up a Humminbird 999. Was thinking about getting the new Lowrance Gen 3, but they are a chunk of change, and with the $200 rebate the bird was a much better deal. Plus I may get an iPilot Link in the future, which only works with Humminbirds.

If you are looking for a good, small FF for your yak, you should look at the new Humminbird Helix units. $500 for a model that has side scan and down scan, and cartography. Though how do you plan to mount the transducer? On my yak and portable FF, I suction-cup the transducer to the side. It points sideways, but it doesn't matter with sonar only. But with a side-scan transducer, you need to mount it so that it points fore and aft, and that could be tricky on a kayak.

Thanks for the report and congrats on the catching!

It sounds like the boat is ship shape. I like that fishfinder.
