  1. Yeah I had the same thought.
  2. You can mount the head where ever you want and put a transducer both places either by changing the plug or using a switch.
  3. I stopped at Son Sac Depot yesterday and snagged some ethanol free 91 octane for $2.61 per gallon. That beats what I have been paying.
  4. I'd definitely do it. When I traded boats last summer I had an HDS 8 Gen 1 and a Touch 9 Gen 2. I was only offered $600 trade in so I kept both units. I have the 8 to my fishing partner and kept the 9. I went for broke and put a Gen 3 12 on the bow. I use it split screen and put the 9 under it and use it strictly for mapping. No need letting a perfectly good unit collect dust.
  5. Bill I use the down scan to fish cover. It shows so much more than 2d sonar does for me. I can see limbs in brush and sometimes the actual fish.
  6. I launched there a few days ago and they were just fine.
  7. I have Chirp on my new units. I can not use it with structure scan because of interference so I rarely run it because I use ss and 2 d sonar together 90% of the time.
  8. My partner and I decided to try Table Rock today. It was 29° when we got there and 70° when we left. The wind was up to 20 when we left home and got stronger as the day went on. We threw jigs, swing jigs, 3 different brands of jerk baits, 2 different brands of crank baits and A rigs. We wound up catching 7 only 2 of them keepers and all of them came on the A rig. We never had a bite on anything else. We fished from Virgin Bluff to Thompson Hollow. All of out fish were on or close to primary points.
  9. Since you used to have a glass boat and are familiar with the lift you may be disappointed in most tin boats. The only one out there that I have ever been in with any kind of lift is the Xpress. Brutons down at Golden carry them. It would be worth your time to arrange a test ride in one. A friend of mine has had one for 15 years and it still looks and runs like a new one.
  10. Has the insurance paid them? If not try to get an adjuster to go there and look at the work.
  11. Maybe LOZ is that much different from some of the other lakes like Pom and Stockton. The whites spawn on them all the way to the dam.
  12. I was one of those guys looking for crappie yesterday Hammer. We worked all the way to Carr's without a bite. Late in the day we moved to Bridge Port and fished from there to Bearden. We only got 3 specs but did catch several spots along the bluffy bank on stingers.
  13. Does the water level have much effect on the whites that spawn in the mid to lower part of the lake?
  14. Nice bunch of fish. What is the limit of whites over there?
  15. Why not start by hiring a guide this spring and learn from him. Pick his brain and write down everything he shows you and/or says.
  16. I use Karen at Gibbs Upholstery in Republic, MO for repair work. I've also had seats recovered and bed liners sprayed in at their shop.
  17. Walcrabass your knot is a lot like the one that I use for all lines and all situations (the Pitzen or 16/20 knot). I use it because it is strong, fast and easy to tie. I can even tie it with gloves on, usually in 12 seconds or less.
  18. I ran QuicKleen in every tank for my old Opti along with 87 octane. It ran for 14 years and is still going as far as I know. I now have a 250 Verado and have been advised to use 91 octane, QuicKleen and QuickCare in every fill up.
  19. I'd jump all over that if the color were red or gray. If you happen on any more let me know.
  20. Hammer I have been to the pt 15 area 2 times lately. Fishing for specs has been tough. There has only been an afternoon bite for us. One day we caught 20 with 16 of them keepers in Flat. The other day we caught 14 with 10 keepers in James. A few years ago 100 crappie was not out of the question for a good day but now there are lots more boats in that area.
  21. Interesting. I tried to look it up to read about it but had no luck locating it. How is it listed?
  22. Since I traded boats my black lights won't fit on the gunwale so I am looking at putting some LEDs in the rub rail. Do any of you know some one in the area who does this kind of work and does a good job? Any pics of their work would be great.
