I had a Eagle Silent Sixty on the last boat that I had. Sold that boat to a guy I work with. It was a portable model with a suctioncup ducer. Read to 120 ft.I took it and mounted it on a gimble mount and got me a kickup bracket and mounted it permanate.That unit has never been serviced and the guy that has it now still uses it to navigate with!I bought it in the late 70's.Feesh, I would love to give them saugers a try again. It's been a while but I used to go every year. Caught a ton of stripes, cats ,smallies,and crappie off them dam walls.I remember a friend and I went sauger fishin in 7 degrees one time. Boy was we crazy. Had them handwarmers that you break and chemicals combined to make heat. Had 1 in each boot and 1 in each glove, and couldn't tell they were even workin till we finally got back to the truck.I think we would have caught a few fish if all the turbines had not been runnin!There was just too much current. I love that Tennessee River!!Used to rent a cabin at Bellises Boatell and fish all weekend!Those were some good times there. Yep,I'm a Geezer, but I'm a wealth of fishin knowledge that was learned the hard way!!I wouldn't change a thing!!Mostly full of BS!!
Cray, you need to break that thing out and use it. Won't nothing find a break or breakline more accurate than a flasher. When you see that light fall or rise, you know you have passed directly over it.Not like a graph where you have to guess where the break happened.I hit a 3 lb. bass on the head with a rubber jig one time and caught the fish. It was directly under the boat suspended in a creek channel. I dropped the jig and watched it fall on my flasher and when it got down to the line I was reading I felt it hit something the next thing I knew I was fighting a bass.Wish I had mine back!!!
Aight y'all help this youngin out here! What the h e double hockey sticks is a flasher?
May well be GEEZERS but where would you be if it wernt for a geezer!Quote:

Box with a round dial and depth numbers imprinted around face. Electric motor spins arm with a red bulb on end.it would light up at zero and whatever depth transducer said. Anything in-between was fish or limbs. Had to learn to tell the difference. Could pick up structure and very accurate but had to spend a lot oof time on water to learn to use. No recording or play back.then they came out with a paper graph that had a roll of special paper and a stylus like a sizemagraph that drew pictures of lake bottom and structure. Not many people could afford them back in the 70,s if I remember right they were about a 1000 bucks back when they first came out. Still have a few guys that still use them today.Quote:
