I have been waiting several weeks for Garmin to ship my replacement GT54UHD transducer (returned under warranty after losing one side of SV), so I have not had SV or DV to scan for bream beds, and have just been using my PLS to locate crappie. I ride along the shoreline very slow, scanning from about 20' deep to the bank. The past 2 trips I've see some crappie-sized (on the screen) fish, up shallow near structure, but they would not bite a crappie jig, and seemed kinda skittish. I suspect they might have been shellcrackers, so the next time out (super windy today) I will have one rod ready to go with a small squirrel-tail jig, and some red wigglers to tip it with. When I get on shellcrackers, I forget all about the crappie.

Anyway, my transducer has finally shipped, and tracking shows it arrives tomorrow - just in time to start looking for beds this upcoming full moon period.
