Thread: Brush Pile location??

Just me, but I try to drop a marker just after I cross over structure. Not on top of it. I know where it is and don't want to disturb fish or risk getting tangled in marker line. That way if casting you can back off and cast to it or rigging you can ease baits up to it with crossing over with boat.

Is the transducer on the front or back, if front it will be directly under you, if back, you already passed over it

with that transducer, it will be under the rear of the boat. I like to run my TM ducer when jigging brush. Like cray said, drop a marker and you won't have to guess.

Mine is on the back of my boat and I always struggle with this issue. It is behind me but with the spread of the cone and depending on the depth it sometimes can really be just anywhere in a fairly wide area.

I can only tell you how I do it. My console unit has the TD on the transom. I'm easing along and a pile shows up on the graph. I wait til the pile is gone and throw a marker back over my head, or to the upwind side if I think of it. Continue on and slowly and quietly come back upwind to the target. If it is with my TM unit, the TD is right in front of me and I throw a marker upwind and take the foot off the TM and wait for the wind to blow me off of it and approach as I see best. Once you have a bunch of tracks on the GPS you can then collect the marker and work back to the mark. This gets easier after you do it for a while. I try not to leave markers out on busy days as they become boat attractors.

they sure do

Thats why Arkie has came out with the New.......Stealth Markers.......check their website

I like the black ones best......they work great
