Sidescan Jamming Tech

I have been having a lot of fishermen going by me with their sidescan and marking my piles. Normally this would not bother me but there have been several in the past few days and its kinda gettin my goat. I try to give my piles to the lake but sometimes it's hard to give up my best stuff. I have got an idea for a jammer and was wandering if anyone has thought of this yet.I worked signal corp in the army and we had some pretty neat jamming tech back then and was thinking of something to jam the signal. Anyone have any thoughts about this please chime in..................ifish

FCC might not like you if you were to get caught. Lets face it, this is the going technology and people can find your brush piles from a long way off now. Day or night. How would you prevent it when you are not there?

personally i don't see a problem with them finding and marking and fishing your or anybody brush piles, that is why they spend so much money on technology. you know when you put brush in a lake it doesn't belong to you anymore i know you probably don't like it but that is the way it is.have you not ever found and fished some body brush pile?with sonar technology the way it is and what direction it is taking if you don't want them to fish your brush-piles then you might as well not put it out:rolleyes:

Sure hope if you do that it does not burn up someones unit. Or even yours while doing it. AS that could cause a lot of issues to come up. As posted after there in the water there eveyones. Shoot I found lots of beds way before I got a SI unit.
It was good meeting you the other day.

This is why it is best to put cover out at several locations so that if someone is on your spot you will have others to go check out.

Should be easy enough to do. The frequencys are known, so you just need to duplicate them to confuse the unit. Probably the easiest way for you to do it to buy one yourself, and only turn it on when someone is come by. They should get cross talk and grable the display. I'm sure you would not use it to find more brush.

Are you joking????:eek::rolleyes:

Like others have said - once it is in the lake it ain't exclusively yours! Furthermore----as others have said, if you don't want people fishing it don't put it out, plain and simple.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Good luck to you though!:D

From a technical side about all I can think you could do is to broadcast a signal back towards them at the same frequency as they are using. Right now there are only three Si frequencies in use to worry about so as long as you were broadcasting at all three frequencies at the same time you should be good. As mentioned you would have to be there or have some underwater battery powered device at each brush pile (if it were above water they could see it and want to see what it was…). I would recommend a very wide beam so that you would not have to be as exact in your aiming of the beam towards the unwanted sonar device.

Of course if you did make such a device and it worked, all they would have to do is mark a waypoint of save a trackplot and follow it back later when you weren't there to see what you were trying to hide...

I feel your pain brother, but I don't think this would be very effective. Fun maybe, but probably not that effective in the end. Good luck with it if you try it.

Yep. Any effort to try to hide something will only draw attention to it. Not to mention it would only work while you are there, and you don't need a sonar to find brushpiles when you see somebody fishing them.

I believe I have fished some parts of a river where they have that sort of device, cause you don't want to be seen fishing their honey holes. It comes in one format- 12 gauge double barrel.....:rolleyes:

I bet if people started doing this. Lots of people would start posting a lot of waypoints to every bed they find. I sure know I would and smile the whole time I was posting the waypoints and what cove or section of the lake they were in.

I would just suggest you get your own side scan & find mine and everybody elses.You ight be suprised how many good ones you would find that you never knew were there.

Why not go fishing and have fun. It sounds like you being on the lake fishing your best stuff isn't healthy for you. Maybe you can make this jammer, and you could fry the electronics on your boat. That would be funny.

Buy land, build a lake, then put structure in it. It'll be yours. Or get an ulcer freaking out that somebody might find your golden pile.

Get over it, please.

We'd be lucky if guys like this would shoot themselves. I would equate these guys with the motorcycle riders that pop wheelies at 85MPH on a busy highway. I'm all for these guys killing themselves, just do it on an empty gravel road in the country where only a tree or fencepost will suffer.

There are some real idiots in this world!

i believe that would be a mistake i just like a lot of people carry a gun .i would not want to shot some one but if you was dumb enough to pull a weapon to protect something that don't really belong to you i guess you could very well :rolleyes:get buried .i am not saying that you cant protect yourself but think about it, in a situation like that it would either be me or you .and i believe that it would be how ever was the fastest.but the best thing to do is to get over it and move on there is a whole lake to fish and if you did that they wouldn't be a problem

I think you guys are all missing his point. It's not about him owning the brushpiles. I've had the same thing happen to me a lot this season. It gets to be annoying when you see guys coming by you, just to mark the spot you're catching fish at. Sure its public water but go find your own fish. They have the unit to do so. I decided to get me some side scan units this year and i've expanded my knowledge of a lake i've been fishing for over 40 years by just scouting new areas. But its just annoying when they wait for you find those piles then mark them when you're sitting on them.:mad:

Sure wasn't me doing the shooting, and yes we did paddle on, quickly. When you are on a tree lined river its pretty hard to see where shots came from. Found out later that it happened to some others also in one certain section of this river.
