I have it mounted on the Transom on the right side. I am a rookie at using graphs, maybe I have it flipped and the left side is actually bad because of the motor????

I recently installed a Lowrance Elite 7 with side imaging. I ensured the transducer was straight and I am getting great images, on the left side. The right side is noticeably darker and harder to see. Anyone else have this problem? What did you do to fix it or do I have a bad transducer. I hope its not a bad transducer because it was rough routing that cable to my console!

I love it! It is pretty durable too, and the 115 gets it up close to 50 MPH when on plane.

Those are crazy expensive though. I got a deal on power pole blades for half off!

All, I was told by a dealer I don't have enough room in my battery compartment to mount two pumps for some power pole blades. Anyone have these installed on their boat, or have you been told/discovered the same thing?

My 2016 Crestliner VT 18 Pro. Takes a beating on the stumps here in North LA and keeps going!

Military guy just got stationed here in Bossier City, LA. Was wondering if anyone had any advice/guidance on fishing Cross Lake. Looks nice, but went out once so far and didn't have any luck.

Can someone explain buoy markers? No idea what that is/does.

I am fishing a small Bayou here in LA. I caught my two big fish, one on a spinnerbait and one on a football jig by a dock. You may be right, I might not be feeling the bites, but I don't think there are any guides for my lake. There is a small gas station/bait shop by the lake so I'll stop in there and ask. Thanks for the advice! She swallowed the jig, got the spinnerbait right in the top of the mouth!

That 6# was my 5th Bass ever caught. Got real lucky on that one!

I am pretty new to Bass fishing (about 2 mo's kayak, 2 mos bank and now two mos boat, a Crestliner VT 18 Pro). I have caught a few big ones (a 6# and a 4 1/2#), but never have consistently caught fish. Finally, this Sunday I was blanked again and became very frustrated. I feel like I am trying everything and I cannot catch them. To put it in perspective, I bought my boat two months ago and have caught 5 total fish from it. I have used spinnerbaits, squarebills, soft plastics, jigs, Carolina rigs, texas rigs, drop shots, etc. I have a Lowrance Hook 5 fishfinder and have tried to cruise around to find them, but I really don't know what I am looking for. The water temp here in North LA is around 85 degrees and the water visibility is about a foot and a half. I have fished shallow, deep, docks, and I am losing my mind! The lake I fish at it's deepest is around 30 ft. I have tried to learn from various videos and just seems like I am doing something wrong. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the feedback. Going to see if I can land something in between a DD and my PB. I'll make a decision then, but will get a replica based on feedback. Plus I will always throw back a big fish to give someone else a shot!

Didn't keep it, threw it back. Took plenty of photos though.

In my first year in Bass Fishing and landed a 22in 6lb 1 oz Bass this weekend. Wondering if this is too small to consider for a mount. It's my PB, but like I said, only have about a year on the water. Opinions??? IMG_1268.pdf
