Fishing Report 3-23-13, SPSP

[5th Tuition]

We didn't leave the dock until after 12 noon. No wonder we didn't see each other. Glad you like your HDS. I am still learning my side scan. In fact, Skip and I were suposed to go out and look for some wrecks so I could dial it in a bit.
There must have been 4-5 boats working south of the bridge with only one fish hooked I guess they aren't here in any number yet
I guess this colder weather and snow will keep the bay temperature down. I hope they get here soon. I'd rather see them get up to the spawning grounds, so we can catch them on the way out; rather than catching them on the way in and filled with roe.
I'll probably be out later in the week. I'll post again.

I did not see any temps at 42 or above they were all 40-41.something. With all the marks on the meter, I surely thought I was going to have a tough time keeping all the lines in the water.
That's why they call it Fishing, not catching.
Maybe next time.

John; I wasn't with you, so take this with a grain of salt. I might be totally off base here
When I got my HDS, I was comfortable looking at my old Lowrance fishfinder. Therefore, I ran it similar to what your photo shows (FF, GPS, Sidescan). However, I found the FF to show all kinds of marks that really weren't fish (but looked like fish and bait). When I ran my FF and Downscan (side by side) I noticed the downscan showed more realisticly what was under me. Often, what I thought I saw on the FF was just junk (clutter). So much so, that I rarely use the FF anymore. The downscan also showed fish and bait when I was running at speed (the FF did not).
Run them Side by Side and see how they relate. I was amazed

Marty,
I will have to try that, I am open for any advice on these new electronics, it is so overwhelming sometimes.

My boat is at BOE having the Lowrances reprogrammed to calculate how much longer we can stay out based on the real-time consumption rate of beer before we must return to Happy Harbor for more.

I figured we would get more use out of it that way.
