I spent a few hours late this afternoon at Moss Lake. Water temp was about 63. Fish are still suspended in the creek channels over 25 to 35 fow. 10 fish caught on jigs. I did try the bank for a few minutes with no bites. I'm sure I could have caught more, but I was busy playing with my new toy... I mean equipment!
Pretty good SI if you ask me!

I love this Auto Chart Live! It maps the lake as you drive the boat! Great for these smaller unmapped lakes!

Good report. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that is neat.
I looked at that sucker about two weeks ago, it's been driving me crazy ever since. I couldn't resist. Even sold one of my favorite guns to buy it.Quote:

I just got a Helix 7 si this year. So far I love it. I still need to learn how to use it better.
You can't hide money
Actually, I just unplugged my old 898, changed the connector, plugged in the Helix and set it the same way as the 898. Took at least 10 minutes. Easy peasy, whatever that means.Quote:

I can only say what I do which may not be the best way. I hook mine straight to the cranking battery with an inline fuse. I also put the transducer cable in convoluted tubing and try to route it away from engine harnesses or any wires going to an electric motor. I really don't know the correct way to do it, you should post your question on the electronics board. There are lots of tech guys over there that will be glad to give you their input.
Thanks shadboy. That's the way I've done it in the past but wanted to know if you or anyone else did it that way or differently.
However I seem to get alot of feedback noise that shows up on the top 3 ft on the finder.
Thanks you again for the info.
That sounds like surface clutter. I don't think there is anything you can do about that. I'd say if you only have 3' of it, you're lucky!Quote:
