Just installed my new locator and wanted to check it out.  It was warm enough for me this afternoon to see if my new fish finder works as advertised; it didn't but that's another story.  Got to a place where gulls were diving and a few boats were trying to trying to catch the fish, stripers.  After chasing a few blowups and dropping spoons on marks I quit that and went to a few brush piles I had marked .  Caught a 2.66 Alabama and fished the rest of the bank with worms from 3-30' for no more bites.  Went across the lake to some brush piles I haven't fished in several years and caught a 3.22 Alabama and another about 13"er.  Water temp was 55* late on a sunny afternoon and the wind was under about 5 mph.  Fished for just over 2 hours and went home satisfied except the finder wouldn't work on the sonar mode only the sidescan and downscan modes.  Merry Christmas everyone.

 

Excellent

Go, Alex!
