I Love BassResource

Alton Jones at Hartwell Reese on the red Both of those events were under pretty tough conditions. Those boys had to dig deep to pull out winning bags of fish. I don't think this dance will be any more/less difficult than some of the rest.

Well the fishing here is nothing like what your gonna find in Texas. The New River is a Haul from Huntington. You'll have Yatesville close by, but it gets pounded. The OH river is close, but it can be tough as nails as well. We do have some pretty descent lakes, you just have to drive a little bit. Woodrum is on the rebound Summersville Kanawha River Sutton Burnsville Stonewall As well as a few low HP holes in Jackson county. Its nothing like Texas, but you can find some descent fish.

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and blame the rain and the weather. Otherwise, it's pretty pitiful when the racing surface isn't even holding up.

This one time I was in a bar and this guy came up to me while I was standing on this dock pier. I felt threatened so I like crane kick him in the face and than had brunch with Mr. Miyagi. It was cool....

Trimming any blank from the tip will make the action of the rod slower. Here is a pretty good discussion on the subject, from some people with tons more experience than I http://rodbuilding.org/read.php?2,320047,320096#msg-320096

Good stuff, you can see the bark peelin

Here is one from the site you posted, pretty good stuff! Thanks!

Nice work on those handles. It takes allot of time, patience, and attention to detail to get those right. Good job!

You can pick out a bunch of fish if you look hard enough, that's a pretty detailed picture as well. If I recall correctly, he captured that one via side imaging. Again, amazing stuff, thanks for the pic!

I believe you are correct. The shallower you are, the smaller the sonar cone will be. If I'm in shallow water, I'd likely turn off downscan and use SI.

Your not mistaking my "tone". I've clearly stated multiple times above.... example. "Fact is, from what is being posted across many boards across the net, the current Lowrance shots are repeatedly better, that's evident." I'm blown away with what is happening with current sonar technology. The comparison shot wasn't posted to bash HB units, at least that wasn't my intent. My intent was to show "current state". I've also posted the Pics. Yes, I have used my HB unit pretty extensively, but I have not had a chance to get my HDS on the water yet, the weather here has been horrible. I also commented on wayne's DownImaging pic, I personally thought it was pretty good. I'll once again ask, if ducer placement, user error, faulty equipment, etc... have all been at fault, will someone please submit something that is on par with the two pics above? I mean c'mon, you can virtually see through the fish, it almost looks like art. Lol, I'm make no boasts, I don't have to. I think those pictures above boast for themselves, they are simply amazing!

I hope your not referring to me. I'm posting pics of actual shots nothing more. If you have better pics of humming bird shots, post them. If not stop "claiming" you posses better shots and lets see them. Fact is, from what is being posted across many boards across the net, the current Lowrance shots are repeatedly better, that's evident. I can't understand why people want to take it personal. I had a HB Unit that came with my boat, but I bought an HDS8 unit for the console. It was more expensive, but after much research, it's pretty clear that the current state of the Lowrance downscan, simple produces a better image. As I've stated, that may change as the HB software improves, as the HB hardware being used is the same technology they've been using for years now. The current state of what is being done on the HB units is being done via software upgrade. I'm a software developer by trade, so I'm a bit familiar with the evolution of software.

Than you boys post up! I'm ready to see some better pics than what has been posted above or across the net as a whole. I've always thought the side imaging concept is quite amazing!

I doubt anyone is intentionally "mis adjusting" shots to make one brand look better. I would bet that most of the shots being compared are beta versions of the bird downscan software. I've been waiting to see more pics of the release version. Your pic is pretty good wayne, congrats! Yeah, the lowrance shot is done via an independent module. HB did it first and has been doing imaging for a while now, so its an older technology. Lowrance has just released a current/complex (costly) system, so in all fairness I would expect elements of the system to be better. I've heard rumors of HB doing a possible release of a independent downscan/side scan module, but I suspect the outcome of the current lawsuit will dictate tons.

please, what size? sorry, I prefer 4 inch on spot removers...

Yes, I heard Catt paid them each off with promises of unlimited Gene Larew Craw's.

Lol, I still throw super dupers in the trout streams around here. I had my pond stocked with trout last year and I'd let kids in my family catch them by tossing super dupers.

Awesome, I like it!!

Man i like the who, but that show sucked. Carrie Underwood did well, Queen whatever was a car wreck...

Not my pics, but I wanted to share them here. Pretty good stuff. More DownScan Pics HB and Lowrance Shot side by side

If the dates work for me, I'll run up. I have the BR trip, some soccer games, and some schedule tournaments to work around...

Lol Right, so if you can't race around them, just punt them into the wall. He chose track position over tires, seems to me Gordon should have used the tires instead of just bumping drafting incorrectly. I'd love to Martin win one. The Hendrick boys have the gear, now if someone can get JJ's way for a couple of races at the end.

Petty merged with Yates, now they drive Ford.

Nah, a typical finish would be a block, forcing someone low, three wide causing a spin... That was just Jeffery being Jeffery, trying to push to deep into the corner. Should be a small morale booster for the RCR group.

lol let's see Gordon explain that one, idiot stayed on biffle into the corner, lol
