Catt is conducting a class on Toledo Bend that I am taking part in. If enough of you are interested I will conduct one on the operation of a depth finder. Just let me know if any are interested. I guarantee you you will be able to read what you are seeing and will be comfortable with the operation of your unit. It's up to all of you. Just let me know. Jack

Practice, practice, practice. Adjust the gain and make a run. Readjust the gain and make another run over the same route. Keep doing this until you have a feeling for the amount of power you are comfortable with and you will be way ahead of the game. Most people only get 10% out of their unit. There is so much more it can and will do for you if you get to know it. This goes for the cheaper units also.

The Billy goat will rear his head once more cubs fans. Ain't gonna happen.

Thanks Catt. When does our next class begin? I have fished the southern end a few times many years ago and I am ready for another lesson. Thanks for all you are willing to do. Jack

Easiest thing to do is to get in an area that you know and are familiar with what is underneath. Run your unit over the area and compare. If you know where there is a creek, brushtop, or rocky area, or grassy area for that matter; run it and then you will understand what you are looking at. Turn the fish ID off. All it is good for is to eat up power. Take it off automnatic and set it up to your specs. You will be able to adjust the gain where it will actually show you strands of grass growing up off the bottom. Good luck

I missed it unfortunately. Too many honeydos that had to be completed. She knows I'm fishing next weekend and I have to earn my time on the water.

Sorry I forgot to add the roadbed running off Millionaire's point that has the ditch cutting through it. The ditch as well as the rest of the point would be a great place to start using crankbaits, plastics, and jigs as long as it is not choaked up with grass. Then the frog and crawworm would come into play. I would work my way along the northern edge of the submerged point out to the deeper water. thanks

I would concentrate on the three points out close to the river paying particular attention to the two points that are located on each side of the creek intersection just off the sharp bend in the river. Early I would concentrate up a little shallower with crankbaits and plastics at the end of the ditch that runs due west off the river bend (This is in the Jesse Lowe cove)as well as along the creek banks working my way deeper as the sun begins to clear the tree tops. I would also work the underwater point coming off the main point where the river makes it's bend up against the point with crankbaits and plastics. This is the major point on the south end of Jesse Lowe Bay. Midday I would work the deeper ends of the underwater points and if there is any grass in the bay I would work the deeper edges with plastics and jigs. Especially out off the ends of the points as well as the creek banks. I would check the point located between the river channel and the intersection of the three creeks several times during the day as well as the underwater point across the creek channel from it. The road bed located on the south side of Millionaires point would be another early or late checkpoint as it has the deeper ditch running up to the edge. This creek or ditch could could be loaded with fish as it runs back to the major interesction of the other creeks and back out to the river. They could be located anywhere along depending to weather, water temp, and time of day. The intersection of the old RR would be worth checking as I am sure there was at one time a tressel or a high grade crossing the creeks. The spur that runs toward the intersection of the three creeks would be an excellant place to check . I wqould just have to fish it to see if there was/is an elevated grade or old bridge. I suspect that there may be both. Catt, please come down on me if I miss the obivious and go against any of your thoughts. I am here to learn and I can take a brow beating well. I have done very little fishing on the southern end of the lake. Thanks, Jack

Not sure if I will watch any of it. I have more pressing things to do. Like attend Catt's schooling on Toledo Bend. Much more interesting to me.

Catt, thanks for the info. Waiting on the next class. Thanks again for all you do here.

I happen to know Todd. He is ALL class. Don't read into this without knowing all the issues. It was probably done in the parking lot before the final weighin. You will not find a nicer guy in the fishing communitity.

Need more info.

Mentions title for trailer. Just wondering about the paperwork for the boat. Check it out before you buy. 12' seems a bit too small. Try to find a 14 if possible.

when will the middle east be at peace Not for 2000 more years They have never had peace. Never will either.

Gas is at 3.54 a gallon here today. A three cent drop from Wednesday.

Ninteen years here. Few rough spots here and there but overall it has been good.

Sad part is everyone now thinks 3.25 a gallon is cheap. They are conditioning us for the future.

Breaklines and angles will be critical. Do not take your eyes off the depth finder. Creeks and any area that they intersect. Fish night and deep.

Winning. Thanks to the both of you for what you are doing. Good luck and keep your head down.

A big congratulations to the Lake Charles team.

I'm all for it. When does class begin?

Would nerf balls help your feelings? There are tons of places on all lakes that have great areas that maps do not show. It is the old tried and true measures that will show you the spots. You have to get out and fish them. Grass was not an issue on any of the East Texas lakes 20 years ago. The grass makes all the difference.

Let me know when you receive it and we can go over it. There will be some pond dams that will not show up so I will give you the waypoints to several that should have some good fish on them.

Welcome

Nice looking truck.
