Just wanted to ask if you've used your new finder yet.
This technology being applied to open water fishing is new to me and I find it very exciting so I had to share this with you. Went out the other night and was able to use my finder just like I was ice fishing. I know most people who have had fancy units are asking whats the big deal, but I've never been blessed with something this nice.
Anyway when you get set up over some fish and anchored. Go to menu and select A scope 1. Drop your lure down and you should see it right away. Even if you can't see it real well on the graph you can usually pick up a signal on the A scope. I have had a vertical pixel graph (just like a vex but vertical instead of in a circle) for a few years for ice fishing and this A scope feature is identical to the pixel graph. Its such a blast! You can see the fish react and get them to chase your bait. Also if its a bit wavy or there is current you can select 50khz instead of 200 and this really gives you a wider beam when you can't keep the bait right under the boat.
Let me know if your having as much fun as I am with this thing.
By the way tons of small walleye a few would be keepers... and a few dandy perch. Just wish I could find some more.
