That might be a problem for us JigFest folks.

@Quillback I am getting ready for this. Will have boat ready by then, hope the fish feel the same way. Rain or shine. Cold or Ice Do you have any last request for supplies that are needed for the weigh in festivities?

@RPS would you think if i dropped the the SI ducer down another 1\2 inch with just adj or would i need to move the poly block lower to bottom of hull? with all of this i did seal up some major leaks i was having. having both ducers on outside of strake was planned. I still have some room to play with and lots of sealant.... Thanks Randy

I have installed 2 new transom mount transducers one for 798 CI HD SI and one for Helix 5 DI. The one on left is SI. I know that SI should be ran at idle or just a little above. I took the boat out yesterday to do some adjustments. I found that i get a little feed back on SI anything above idle. My question is should i move it farther away from center line of boat than it already is? i am also going to drop it down and see if that give me any better result. I also think the polyurethane plate may be a little high. (When mounting this plate i took advantage of a hole already drilled). As for the DI i get really erratic readings from depth to just a DI image. The depth will show 300 + feet in 13 feet of water. Is this just a setting or ? As for the DI when i am up on plane it is out of water.I know i need to lower the Ducer and that might help with the above problem with DI/ Any help with location and overall setup would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a few pics of Ducer mounting feel free to give me some advise

There are not compatible at all for your set up..

If the sale falls thru i am interested ..

Welcome to OAF. Nice start on the fishing the white. As Phil said JIgFest is pretty cool.

@JUNGLE JIM 1 I am going to have to agree with you on the downtime not fishing. Those look really nice. I am going to have to try those patterns. I really like the 2 different materials you used. Great Job Michael

Thanks Gavin!

Hope you did not fall on your A$$ this time walking outside taking them shots.

That was pretty cool Jeff. I went out and saw it.Took my daughter about hour later the moon was gone but could see Venus. My daughter was not as excited as i was about it. Got to love them Teenagers. Thanks for sharing

Good to know. I will keep my eye out. I will trade you 2 of mine for 2 of yours.

Not at all Randy.

Been doing a little tying last few days. Practice and getting used to the material is making a huge difference. Here is some that i am pretty proud of. I will continue to update you all as i progress. Oh yea i need to remember to tie the dark color on top.

Mine looks about the same

You should of at least waited for a reply. I would have told you if i was not interested. Lost interest? I PM you about the sale. Lesson learned !!

That is pretty shady on your part. Don't Tread on me!!

Good idea.Let me get the one color down then i will try the 2 color combo.

@tjm Not so much trying the Duane technique. Probably just pulling out due to not getting wrapped. I will have to pay closer attention to it. It only happened on the last pictured Jig. The other ones are very heavily wrapped as you can see.

i just started tying Jigs about a month ago and finally got a little setup. These are some of my practice creations. Learning how to use tools techniques and watching videos. I think the hardest part so far has been keeping the maribeau intact after i wrap it with thread. It seems to pull out if i brush my fingers thru it. maybe i am not wrapping it tight enough. It will get better with time. These look a little ruff. Defiantly room for improvement.

Im not at all familiar with bass fishing on the Rock. But this sounds like fun, I could get to know fellow anglers and you can give me your secret holes..LOL Kidding aside I am seriously thinking of doing it this year. Jeff again you put on another great event and I thank you for bringing us all together.

Ian and I got at holiday island at 8 it was cold and windy. Ian is under dressed as usually for the conditions. We made the run up to 62 bridge. Pulled off behind a little slack water where we could throw jigs in on both sides of current. Ian hooked up first with a nice bow. then again a little bit later. I took my fish just floating down and hitting pockets total 4 bows and 1 crappie for me. Ian ended up with some solid bows total 4. Great day very blistery running that far. If i would do it again i would have put in at houseman ramp instead of holiday island. Thank goodness i did not start at eagle rock. we got off the water a 2pm Thanks for all your advise.

@rpsWith this flow how far down would you expect to stop fishing for trout?

Nice fish Kevin. That a great way to start. Good luck the rest of trip!!

Heading out in the morning and launching at Holiday island. Thank you all for the navigation advise.
