those of you that have it is it worth it? has it helped you to stay located on offshore structure and cover?

black and blue jig with a bright blue trailer or a backwater blue beaver

not sure i would be using this ER very much....

i like a 1/4 oz jig or punchjig and 17lb fluorocarbon line with a craw trailer. chiggercraw seems to skip pretty good. i use 7 foot up to 7 11.. shorter rods are easier.high gear ratio reel dont want a bass to wrap you up. i turn my brakes pretty low on the reel are you casting or pitching?

i would say maybe only try 1 or 2 new techniquea at a time. it can be overwhelming and not if youre not catching fish while trying them it can be discouraging as for baits. i try and keep it simple black and blue and green pumpkin. mainly natural colors on my crankbaits. a few wild ones here and there

i recommend going 3 bank. my last boat had a dual bank and my new one a triple bank. definitely worth running wires to it or getting a single bank just for the starting battery beats getting the charger out and your start battery is always juiced that being said ive never had a minnkota charger but most there products seem to be of high quality

can you notice a difference in how you feel after trolling with a tray vs without?

i decided on the gen 2 touch with the hdi transducer. it was 999 on sale at cabelas. i ran an ethernet cable from the console to the bow to get structure scan and share data also decided to run 2 10ga wires from the start battery to a blue seas 6 circuit panel under the console im putting in. from there ill run the console graph to the fuse panel and run 12 ga wires to the bow graph. also adding a 30 amp inline fuse between the battery and the panel.

i lied. 1 more question. i know you can get interference thru transducer cables running by the trolling motor wires. what about ethernet cables??

thanks for the help. i will mount the lss where the blue is. the motor will not hit it when all the way down. and the transducer that was already glassed in is compatible so life got easier

i dont think there is enough room to mount the skimmer externally. i will probably be glassing it in unless the one already glassed in is compatible

it needss to be overhanging the orange by a hair?

last question. hopefully lol this is where i planned on mounting the transducers. i dont want to glass the skimmer in because i dont want to lose sensitivy on sonar. the lss-2 will be right under the jackplate and motor when trimmed all the way down will not hit it. the skimmer i plan on mounting under the shelf starboard side a few inches. the skimmer does not stick out past the shelf so im not worried about interference with the lss-2. my biggest concern is does the skimmer need to be mounted farther to the right or is the spot i have picked out going to work well? red x is structure scan blue x is skimmer Thanks Again!

Who knew taking the seat off and that tiny little access panel could make things so much easier. got both cables ran through now. using my phone camera i stuck in thru a vent hole in the top and i could see the "channel" the wires were running through madr about a 3 foot stringer out of coat hanger and fed it through. it was a big channel but the problem i was having was it kept getting pinched between what i believe was the gas line and the boat wall. with the access panel removed i had enough room to move it thru a wider area and the rest is history. would have been a lot easier with 2 people. but i managed. now hopefully my ethernet cable fits thru the other channel i snaked from the console to the bow Also thanks for the replies. i decided last night against forcing it thru by pulling. figured i could pull anything loose doing that

im trying to snake the transducer wires (sonar and structure) from transom to console.. there is a cord already at the console that im trying to use to pull my wires through. but it gets stuck at the same spot every time no matter how hard i pull or shake the wires. boat is an 88 ranger 390v. should i try and run a fishtape through a different route or keep trying to pull? after 2.5 hours of trying to fish cable through i have got nothing... i did more research and im going to try and remove the seat and maybe look for an access panel in the storage compartment..

i think just about everyone grew up that way. i made myself learn to cast flip and reel with both hands. sometimes in comes in handy but do what pleases you. takes milliseconds to switch hands after a cast.

drop a marker buoy when your there. you never really realize how far you drift until you have a visible waypoiny in the water

first time i used the sexy dawg i thought it was extremely easy to walk.

i have an hds 9 with si, di, sonar and gps already i took offf my old boat. i plan on putting that at the console of my new boat. cant decide want i want to run up front tho (trying to stay under 1500)... do you use side imaging very often at the front??? i was thinking of either getting a hds 7 or 9 and a trolling motor transducer for the front and then i can link the structure scan with it... was always thinking of getting a hook 9 with di sonar and gps... also thought of gettin the humminbird helix 7 but didnt like the idea of running 2 different brands of graphs.. gonna wait to install the one i have until i get one for the bow so i can do it all at once. figured i should add. i want di, sonar, and gps for the front, and structure scan isnt a necessity but if i go the hds route ill just link them.

always check your livewell after fishing if you kept fish in it.. dont want puked up shad cooking in the sun next time you get the boat ready.. had it happen once and that was enough

are you trying to store it in a boat? or for the winter? or for fishing as a co-angler and/or from shore?

hows that tube compare to one from tackle warehouse?

plug to the boat and then lunch

where did you order the rod from? just curious
