SI at 5mph (ATTN: Minnerman)

Well Minnerman.. You finally got your wish. SI snapshots that you can view at 5 mph... Yep that is right... 5 mph... Ain't ya proud!!!!! Guess I will also have to repost them for WB to see... Needed bunch of people I tell ya.... :D

Crappiehunter68 - I turned my sensitivity down to 6, contrast on 10, the sharpness on low, screen on blue, was going 5 mph with big motor, and had the screen speed set to 5. The fish were much easier to see and the picture quality is alot better also. Thanks for the info.

He is probably like me and can find them but can't catch them

Zack, you found that flying saucer that crashed in the Rez back in the '60's.

That's too dang fast. Geeze.

Just kidding. Those look good. May need to turn sensitivity up jus a little. I think at the faster speed you get a better indication of what type of fesh you're seeing.

He'll catch a fish one of these days. I don;t like the look of that though at all

Boo Goo

Yeah I am still learning... Not real sure how to catch em. Only caught one fish spider rigging so far and caught three long lining which were a spotted bass, catfish, and that pretty drum in the picture above.

I haven't found the flying saucer yet Major... but I did find something big yesterday. DD posted some pictures of it a while back. Looks like a good spot but we will see. Hope to go back Saturday and fish some more.

Minner - Glad you like them... You can cover alot of ground at 5 mph. Might try it again soon.

DD - You fishing tomorrow?

Dont tell him that is a goo , He has been catchin them and thought they were Crappie.

It didn't taste like goo:D:rolleyes::cool: LOL..

Shorely you didn't. The only folks that eat them are........& other ..........!

OH NO YOU DIDN'T eat that, did ya? I'll be heading out on a big jet plane at 5:10 this evening for Houston Tx so I won;t be feshing this weekend. Hope we have decent weather the next 3 weekends though cause I will be on the water

Haha... He was released very quickly. I only caught a catfish and a goo yesterday but found those fish in the screen shot above on the way back to the boat ramp. The wind picked up and I had to get off the water.

I have eaten goo before. My grand mother used to can it and would mix it up like tuna salad, wasn't bad.

On a more serious note.... Every time I cross over a creek or the main river channel there is a fussy haze from about 20 to the bottom. I figure this is the thermocline but I am not sure. What do you think?

No idea what it is but ain;t no Thermocline. It's gone bye bye

Thats what I figured DD... but don't know what it is... I see it all the time when I cross a channel.

Here you go Major.... This might be your UFO.. LOL. These were taken in the rez also.

DG looks like you got the SI figured out. Those are some good pics.
As for that cloud crossing the channel. Last couple of weeks I have seen the exact same thing at the waterway. I have seen it a few times before also. It is too consistent to be bait.
My therory is it is a mixing of water temps.

Thanks crappiehunter... and thanks for the help with the SI. It looks alot better now. I got a few more good ones today I need to post.

The cloudy stuff when you cross a channel is a mystery to me also. I thought it was cold dense water but the surface water is 47 degrees. Not sure how much colder the water on the bottom could be. I see it alll the time also.. Summer and winter at around 20 feet or more.
