Standard Sonar vs Downview?
A few picture examples of one vs the other....... 2d on left (traditional sonar) 3D on right (down imaging) pic 1: school of white bass (idling forward) pic 2: more white bass (idling forward) pic 3: sunken boat on down imaging pic 4: school of white bass when sitting still pic 5: tree on down imaging. This would just look like a blob on 2d

Standard Sonar vs Downview?
I have 2d on bow and 3D (down image) at console. The 3D shows much more detail for like tree branches and rocks (cover) but both seem to mark fish just the same. They just show up as golf balls when moving on 3D and arches when moving on 2d. When you are sitting still fish look like horizontal lines on both 3D and 2d

Polarized Sunglasses for low light conditions
Amber does work best for dusk but just the ash/smoke/black plain ones are decent at dusk and good all around

10lb Florida strain LMB equals?
Hey @A-Jay, wonder if they could isolate the DNA of Michigan-strain SMB??? And stock them all over the world?? "Be a lot cooler if they did!"

10lb Florida strain LMB equals?
14-15 lb absolutely are competitive but I can almost guarantee that was an F1 first generation hybrid. I was just saying that the pure Florida strain aren't as big here, F1 are always huge

First trip of the year
Congrats! Love that backreel

Caught bass at Castaic Lake in need of identification
Only a DNA test can determine Florida bass vs regular lmb. I thought all bass in California were Florida Strain. Definitely not smallmouth

10lb Florida strain LMB equals?
The biggest bass we have are F1 hybrids. They stock Florida strain every year and the native fish out breed/outcompete them. The first generation hybrid between the native bass x Florida strain are always the biggest. They took a whole bunch of the 8+ fish weighed in and like 99% of them were the first generation F1 hybrids. So here the true Florida strain fish aren't as big

Cool screenshot
No clue, satellite innacuracy is my guess. sonar works tho! It might be in meters instead of feet or something. The lake is down about 6 ft below normal currently

COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!!!!
I'm associated with the SEC and I (respectfully) hate all the schools in the conference except my own. Every time a rival makes the playoffs it helps us absolutely none. Zero. Zilch. "Conference pride" is when fans of a crappy team want to latch on to a winning team. It's a sellout

The Road To The Super Bowl 2018
I still can't believe they drafted peterman! When he played at Tennessee he was worse than any high school qb I had ever seen. He threw a pass backwards with no pass rush. Literally backwards

How far south for winter bass
Give bass a rest???? I can't comprehend that. You'd have to strap me to a chair and sedate me

Why on earth would anyone spend $400 on a bass rod?

How far south for winter bass
Since our lakes are all reservoirs they rarely if ever freeze in the main channel

How do you get your fix?
Hate you had bad luck but if that's the first skunk you can remember, you are doing something right! I can unfortunately clearly recall a few dozen skunks

Show off your dog/pet
Ha! I wish he would train my dogs to stay in the fence! Mine dig out of a 6 ft fence. Big one digs the hole and little one slithers through it. The pack has strength in numbers.....
