Went to Jordan to get more experience with my new Minn/Kota and Hummingbird 899 DI/SI Combo. I must say I really like the Anchor Lock function on the Rip/Tide. Once I figured out that you had to go past the spot and then engage to Anchor Lock, it held us within about a three foot circle of the spot. If i'd read the instructions I might have known that. But hey what real man reads instruction?
I'd like to say that my bird functioned in the same fashion. It might have, IF I'd remember to bring it !!! yep, left it warm,safe,and comfortable right in the garage. Without the aid of a depth finder we non the less proceeded to an area I'd fished before in the S-Curves. We managed to catch a number white perch and crappie still in deep water 28-30 judging the depth by counting down. Had a great time.
Now the Circus part... down about 300 yards from us a couple who we've met on the lake were fishing. I seen the action along the 64 bridge with everyone fishing on top of each other, but nothing's topped this. Now remember the couple we met are staying in one small area fishing suddenly, another boat comes within spitting distance of them and they proceed to start fishing. Really.....28,000 plus square acres of Lake and you have to be right there! I could have understood if they were friends, but they weren't .... . Just need to know from you who fish Jordan alot is this normal ?
