JJ's
Just a FYI, prob. already discussed on here but do not put JJ's into those Plano liquid containers, the JJ's melts the plastic in less than 10 mins. My dumb mistake.

HB Screen
Also it was in Stain - dirty water. If I would take my sensitivity up to 15-20 I would see nothing but red on my screen.

HB Screen
Yea i was stationary when i took that, I have the sensitivity at about 7, i think my surface clutter is at about 3-4, do you take ur clutter down to zero?

HB Screen
Again trying to understand my Fish Finder, I got the depth to stop jumping around and cleared some of the surface clutter off the screen, also reduced the sensitivity down to like 7 on a scale of 1-20, most of my screens today were pretty clear and looked good but now i need to understand what im am looking at, if anyone could help me, here is just a picture i took today, I don't know what the blue stiff is and this was the only time it was on the screen. This was in a river and the depth lines read 0,2.5,5, and 7.5. So what am i looking here bottom wise and that blue stuff. Thanks

Fish Finder
Im new to using fish finders and I am trying to learn to set-up mine and read it, but one of the problems I am having is the depth is not steady when I am anchored, it will jump from like 4.5-6.5 very fast back and fourth how do I fix this. It is an Humminbird 587ci.

Optima Battery VS. Acid Battery ( Life Span )?
So what would be the best way to charge an optima blue top, and what would be a good charger? Because on thier website they say just charge like normal.

whats everyones pick on deep cycle batteries
Are there any deep cycle batteries that are same size as the optima, height wise? Reason is I have to place it under my front deck and space is limited height wise. Will buy an optima, but if there is another battery that is comparable in performance for less money and same height as the optima it would help.

Sonars
I was looking at the Fish Elite 642c and the Humminbird 768 at cabela's the guy there was telling me some info on both. Reason I was looking at these two is one they were both on sale the Fish elite was $349 and the Humminbird was $299, and two I fish mainly rivers that are any were from 1-20 ft deep usually on the lower end and I hear they are not that useful in low water. My main purposes would be deepth, speed, water temp, GPS which both have, and in the deeper water fish finding. Anyone use either of these 2 are they good or any suggestions about other ones. I don't want to spend alot of money because like I said I fishing mostly in low rivers. The Elite was in color also.

Jet Boat
Mine was used and found it on craiglist, an older guy had it who could not use it himself anymore. He barely used it anyway he said, and it was like brand new. He had it gone over by Ducky's before he would sell it to me. Boat was from around Hershey.

Jet Boat
I just got my first Jet, it is a used 16' Xpress with a 60/45 Merc on it. I use it on the Susquehanna and the Juniata, I love it will never go back. I can hit about 30 MPH with it which for me is fast since my previous boat was a 14' with a 15HP force, my Xpress is a little heavier so the motor prob. could go faster on a different boat. I paid about 6 grand for it fully loaded. Also my cousin has a 18' extra wide I mean extra wide war eagle, with I think like a 125hp 4-stroke jet and that thing flies also it it supper quite but he also paid alot for it.

How hot and long does powder paint need to be baked?
Every time I follow Pro-Tec guidlines my powder coating begins to drip in the oven, so I just set the temp. a bit lower and watch them.

Beltzville State Park, PA
Hey just found this topic, im from the Tower City area and mostly a river fisherman but want to start getting to some lakes. I just read about this lake and its not to far from me I was wondering what the bass are hitting. Are the bass hitting since it has warmed up? What are the chances of catching largemouth? One more question is it better fishing there in the fall and spring? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks. Glenn
