Issue with garmin striker 7sv?
Yup. Pushed in as far as it will allow me. Funny that i can plug the sidevu cable into the xdcr sonar slot, and it doesn't complain....but of course then my graph is all wack at that point. Garmin is having me send them the transducer for warranty work.

Issue with garmin striker 7sv?
Anyone else have an issue with their unit where the transducer is not recognized? It was working well, and now when the unit starts it says the transducer is disconnected. Power down and check transducer connector to enable sonar. I've received a 2nd y cable from Garmin support, but still same issue.

Dobyns Fury or Sierra for finesse?
Just picked up a daiwa bg 3000 series rod for finesse fishing. I have a few fury’s, a savvy and Sierra 735 I use for my frog rod. All casting. Is the Sierra price tag worth it over the fury for sensitivity? Also would a 700 Sierra work for drop shot? Or should I stick to a 702 for drop shots and shaky heads?

Garmin Striker Plus Quickdraw width?
I fish a lot of creek channels that are only about 20feet wide in some areas, how wide does it map/draw? And does the quickdraw feature need to be selected on the screen, or will it proactively draw as I have traditional sonar/dv selected on the screen?

Lowrance Hook2 GPS vs Preloaded vs Navionics?
Can someone explain the difference with these units? I'm looking for a new ff for my kayak, and there are 3 price points for each of the GPS/Preloaded/Navionics options on Lowrance's site without much definition.

Transporting a kayak with or without a bed extender?
thanks - yes i picked one up. Great. Thanks for the input.

Transporting a kayak with or without a bed extender?
Its a tacoma, so i think a 5.5ft bed, with the gate down might bet another foot and a half.

Transporting a kayak with or without a bed extender?
Can i safely transport a 11.5 foot kayak in the back of my short bed truck without a bed extender? Could anything happen to the kayak from the extra length hanging off warp the hull or anything?

Help with local waters in NOVA.
Thanks everyone. I think now that the fishing is slow for me, I'm going to concentrate on reading the water via my deph finder. Something I'm still struggling with. Hopefully i can find some ledges and start throwing a drop shot and slowly crawl it back to the boat/kayak.

Help with local waters in NOVA.
I'm looking for help on whats been working on the water. With the water temps in the high 80s, i've been struggling to get bass in the boat/kayak. So far I've been skunked on the Ni Reservoir and looking to go back out to Hunting Run then Occoquan this weekend. I fish from both a bass boat, and kayak and been throwing the following pretty routinely: Frog/Buzz bait between 8am-9am. Chatterbait/Spinnerbait/Swim Jig. I rotate in 20-30 minute increments. (Keitech trailers) Before I call it quits, i switch to a trig 10" worm/7.5" worm and basically "couch" fish from the front of the boat, slowly. I have not been throwing crankbaits, and maybe i should start.
