jay bird Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Did you save that still of the laydown with the SI? If so that would kind of be a cool picture to see. I think that my 797 is great, but I think that 997 bigger transducer takes a better picture, and for an extra grand it better take a better picture

I think that my 797 is great, but I think that 997 bigger transducer takes a better picture, and for an extra grand it better take a better picture Jay, I had the picture thing turned off when I marked it. The only difference between the two models (besides size) is the 997 has 800 MHZ side imaging and 450 Mhz. Your has 450 but not 800. Frankly you generally get a better picture with the 450, and thats what I leave mine on. but if there were something shallow that I wanted to count the branches on, I would use the 800 Mhz. It only makes it come out with more definition, but it seems it has to be shallow to work, or I haven't played enough settings yet. But you bet I will stop and fish again, if I see the fish down there. Doug JDC Baits
Fishrman Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Way to go Doug, glad to hear you broke it in right. By the way, send me a pm and let me know what you caught that thing on. Again, congrats and glad you are having a ball in that new boat. Fish
Donna G Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Beautiful fish! Bet that was a thrill. Hey, Fishrman, why a PM on what he caught it on? How 'bout sharing with all your friends.

Fishrman Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Had a few other questions for him I did not want to post on the forum, nothing secretive and this gave me an avenue to ask him. Nothing sneeky, I promise.
Members hambone80 Posted January 9, 2009 Members Posted January 9, 2009 That's a awesome bass! I have never made it past the six pound mark yet, but hopefully one day I will. They say winter time is the best time to catch that bass of a lifetime. Congrats on the catch!
Members Doug Weston Posted January 9, 2009 Author Members Posted January 9, 2009 I don't mind telling. I actually caught it on a JDC Gibroni, watermelon (like a Senko) Texas rigged with a Parasite clip and 3/8 ox tungsten weight. I am sponsored by JDC and Parasite, but I promise I really did catch her with their stuff. I know its cliche' but I swear its true. The guy I bought my boat from taught me to do something very similar when I took a test drive in his boat, so I had that texas rig tied on. I don't want to say exactly what he does ,but that's what I did. It was an isolated laydown on a pea gravel bank, about 20 ft deep about 4 casts offshore. Want the GPS coordinates??

(kidding of course) Doug I've not hard of Gibroni, but I like using Senkos and I usually Texas rig mine, too. I've seen ads of the Parasite clips and I thought they looked interesting. How 'bout a product review? Nah, I like to fish 20 ft and under. Give the GPS to Fishrman. Of course, I do fish deeper than that when forced to. Speaking of Texas rigging the Senko, I fished with a guy a few months back that's a pretty fair expert with a drop shot. I don't fish it a lot, but it is fun. One of the reasons I Texas rig the Senko is to lessen the chances of hanging up. Well, I had never seen anyone fish a drop shot Texas rigged, but he does. Uses a good 1-0 hook. Increased my interest in trying a drop shot more. Have a good weekend and keep catching those big 'uns. Me and my fishing partner are headed to Joplin Saturday for the Bill's Marine show. Take care.
