enid thermocline

Put my new 597 on front. Have been using my intro model that came in my xpress. Too lazy to put 997 permanently in since I rigged it up as a portable. Besides so isn't compatible with US2. That band jut below 21-22 feet must be the thermo line. Fish are above it or in the upper portion. Nothing below it. Most are around 15-18 feet deep. As far as I can tell. I like the 597. Simple to use . Just wish it had 2 card slots. Now I just have my nsvionics card. Would like to have been able to take snapshots.

so what are you saying ?

I'll go slow. I like my 597. It shows the thermocline and fish above it. only drawback is the single card slot.

I have had my DP zoomed in to 20 feet so I havent been seeing anything below that. 2 or 3 weeks ago the thermocline was trying to set up around 17 or 18 feet, hadnt even thought about it setting up below 20 feet so I have been fishing too far above them hence slowing down the bite for me some. :banghead Appreciate the post Gomer, hepled me figure sumpin out!!

Been trying to tell ya that for a while, but you wouldn't take the hint.

I know, I know. I'm still green at this game.:biggrin

Run the line out past 80 and you will catch more and bigger fish?

Sell the 597 and buy a 700 series with 2 slots.

Or put the 997 on front or the 788 off the bass boat

Must be true!!!!

120 will only get you down to 13 or 14 feet by my calculations, unless you are using really light line or braid.

I am bumping bottom with 70 foot out in 13 feet of water, not sure what you are using but your calculations seem to be off. 120 on the Bandit chart will put you around 17 feet deep.

I use a formula Kent Driscoll mentioned either in an article on the BnM website or one the the Midwest crappie videos. lineout/10 + 1 or 2. I think it was based on 12lb mono, I think charts that used to be posted here were based on 10lb mono.

They do, all I use while pulling or slo trolling either. Want to run em deep put some 6 pound on, they will really get down there quick but easy to loose if you get hung.

according to the Precision Angling chart a 300 bandit on 10 lb. mono 109 ft. is 16 ft. deep and 130 ft. is 17 ft. deep

Have yet to be hung pulling Sardis or Enid or norfork.

There is a point that comes out right by Greasy Creek where I always catch fish but I've gotten hung there a couple times when I forgot to shorten up the lines before I passed over it.

only been hung twice in 6 years....and both times was at Okatibbee.....never at Sardis or Enid

All this talk about being hung reminded me of something my wife told me before we were married.....crap, forgot it is a family website! Did get caught on a trotline that was poorly marked at Sardis once.
