thanks wayne, didn't know the 597 could do the waypoints

oh dang didn't realize the diff. models ha. 597DI and the 788 hd di

well got up to bass pro over the weekend and looked at all the units. looking at the 788ci for the console and maybe the 597 for the front. what do you guys think??

i've had good luck out of the coffee tubes, golden shiner color around my area, and also a pro-model black/blue tube

Humminbird® Fishfinder 570 DI Sonar Fishfinder this is the one i mentioned in the above post. i am thinking about this one on the trolling motor and the 788 on the console.

I've got the Lowrance that come with my boat but looking for something a little better but pocketbook isn't that steep. another member mentioned a 'bird for $299 that had the DI on it, i looked at it at the Memphis bass pro and it seemed to be ok but i'm the type i want to play with it more before i buy ya know. I'm actually heading back to bass pro tomorrow and will play with them some more. thanks for all the input, hopefully i'll find what i want soon

i fished out of indian creek last weekend and noticed it as i went further back in the creek, but on the main river didn't see anything sign of it

i own 3 myself and love em. wish all of mine were ducketts

there is another topic about this, they are easy to make and cost a few bucks at most. i'll post a pic later tonight of the few i've made. get the survey flags at any home depot, lowes, etc. and the ferrules that crimp steel cables together. you can get the snap swivels anywhere, i used a size 5 on the one i made. figured it up all together i spent about $1-2 a rig

all of my spinning gear is left handed, just the way it felt comfortable using to me and i have a left handed baitcaster for flippin so i'm not constantly swapping hands. all my other baitcasters are right handed though. it's not that they think they're ambidextrous, it may just be that's the way they learned or are comfortable doing it

I went today out of jp but didn't have any luck. Any tips you guys could give for this time of year?

Nice catch! Using live bait??

anyone fishing today?? im thinking about goin to pickwick saturday myself, probably launch from JP

thanks for all the input, leaning more towards the 'birds due to price and customer service.

anyone know who has a duckett spinning rod? haven't heard many reviews out of those

haha yup unfortunately my pocketbook doesn't run that deep lol

thanks for the info wayne, you see all the bells/whistles some of these depthfinders have but some are way too steep

@ robdob, what unit are you talking about? im looking for one myself. if i can get one w/the DI that cheap id go with that

@jig man, what units are you guys running?

looking to purchase a new unit soon, any pros/cons between the two? not looking to spend a fortune but wanting to get a good unit that will help locate structure & schools better. is the structure scan worth the extra $500 on the hds units? i've notice Humminbird units are cheaper but is the quality as good? any help will be greatly appreciated

any tracker dealer will have spare parts, i am missing the center cap from my steering wheel as well ha.

i own 3 ducketts, a 7'11" med for crankbaits, 7'10" for flipping and a 7'3" med hvy for carolina rig. i love all 3 of em, light weight rods and have great feel to them

also what about the water levels & temps???

that sucks, wind isn't "supposed" to get over 5-10mph tomorrow but we'll see how that goes. we're gonna give it a shot and see what we can do. saying it's gonna be cloudy saturday too. have had better luck on overcast days. only time will tell......

Thanks roadwarrior for the info. And bryan im glad its back up. Past two times I have been it had gotten lower each time
