Monday 1-22-18 playing with the new fish finder
I got up around 7 am and looked out side. It was warm ( 58 deg ) wind was calm and the last of a light fog was still hanging around. Looked like a good day to hit the lake. I got there about 8:30 and found a spot in the parking lot. ( at this hour that was iffy)
The lake was dead calm and the fog had lifted. I could see a good 6 to 8 boats just off shore. I fired the big motor and moved my way out into the lake. I turned on the down imaging and side imaging and tried to make out what I was seeing.
As I hit the sign line I switch over to the trolling motor and pointed the boat west. At this point I thought I would put out a rod or six. Why not ?? The others were trying it.
Just as I settled in, a rod goes off. First fish of the day. It was a small one but still a fish. It goes back to swim another day. I didn't have any high hopes for the day, but the rods kept going off. Not all that much, but enough.
I ended up boating about a dozen fish and kept 3 for the ride home. And Oh ya, I got to play with the fish finder too.
