Members stock jockey Posted October 4, 2010 Members Posted October 4, 2010 I have a question about getting help from one of the guides down at the 'rock'. I have a humminbird 998 on the consul of my boat and a humminbird 898 on the bow of the boat. I have got the side imaging down great. I can see the down imaging great also, but I can not see the bait when trying to drop shot. What I am looking for is a guide to help me get the electronics adjusted to be able to drop shot. Also I was hoping to get locations that are with in 15 miles of Aunts Creek that would be great to fish. I only get to make it down twice a year and just have not had luck in finding good 'blue bird skies' locations. I would be willing to pay for this information. Thought it would make the next trip more fun. Thanks.
motoman Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I'm sure any of the excellent guides who contribute to OAF could help; Capt. Don just comes to mind when it comes to Humminbird stuff. - His site actually has info on Side Imaging and Deep Water fishing specific trips. - http://www.bransonfishingguideservice.com/Rates.htm - Not sure if that's what you're after?
dblades Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 If you can't see your dropshot it's probably a boat positioning problem, not adjustments on the Sonar. You need to work into the wind ALWAYS, and the bait needs to drop down into the cone of the transducer.
Flippin Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 It helps me to change the bottom range to 50' or so. Then the sonar is focusing only on the top 50 fow.
