Started late finished early. Messing with Mega Live but still don’t understand it. Tossed a shaky. Caught 6 from 9:30-11:30. No bites after that. GP Zero.
Al, depending on how much you want to spend you can buy a blank mold and have have it milled to what ever design you have for your jig. With the mold in hand a guy to pour shouldn’t be hard to find.
That’s why I don’t go down there anymore. I used to do a lot of night fishing out of Tucker Hollow. We’d see one or two boats on our way to Horseshoe Bend, maybe hear one leaving about dark then have the lake to ourselves the rest of the night, but not with it being 30’ high.
Those naps were when I was running a bread truck down there. I sorted my stale bread at that spot before heading back to Springfield. We had company max early arrival time. If I would be early I would just take a nap to kill some time before heading back. I was down there 6 days a week.
I have Costas. They never leave the truck. My daughter bought me 2 pairs of sun glasses with bifocals at Wally World. I’m on the third year with the first pair. The second is in reserve waiting. My Costas cost near $200. Those Wally’s cost $20 each.
As far as I have been able to tell after looking and driving both before I bought my Chevy. The main difference is those 3 letters in the grill cost about $1,000 each.
Go sit by the stove. That’s what I am doing since I came in from making bait keepers for a couple of rods that John L’s folks decided didn’t need them.
Not every series 31 agm will run today’s electronics and start an engine. I was running 3 Lowrance units having trouble. A battery was toast in a year. I switched to 3 Solix units and a battery was toast in a year. I had two different shops look at the wiring and setups, no change.
The only battery that has worked for me is the X2 which is carried by Batteries +.
You can do it. When I had to go to an Ulterra I was running Lowrance units. I put a total scan on the Ulterra with a Transducer Shield and saver mount and a cable mount from Precision Sonar.
I don’t know enough about what I am seeing to do pics yet. I have to do a bunch of experimenting with color palettes, sensitivity, and contrast. I was just astounded at what forward view shows swimming around out there.
Ran down to Cape for a while this morning to get the Mega Live wet. I kept it on auto except for range. I’m impressed. I didn’t try to catch any of the fish that I saw as I had cleaned out the sissy setups so Scott could have unimpeded access to the Ethernet hub and I forgot to put them back.
I used forward and down some of the images were near real life. On down I saw a fish a couple of feet from the bottom. I grabbed a rod and dropped the bait down. I saw it all the way down and hit bottom right in front of an uninterested fish. I forsee smoked walleye when I drop my jigging spoons on their heads.
I am guessing that it will take all winter to get anywhere near proficient with it but time is all I have. After day one I’d buy it again.
I plan to do a bunch of driving and scanning. If I see something that looks good I hope to mark it and kake a few casts but mostly it’s getting a feel for Mega Live.
That’s not the kind of report that I want from you. I am going to be down there tomorrow morning maybe just looking around but hopefully fishing some. Scott and Brad put Mega Live on my boat today. I’m busting a gut to actually have a look at it in person instead of just videos.
