DARN I THOUGHT YOU HAD INVENTED A SECRET WALLEYE SAUCE!!!!

I APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK EVERYONE MINE ARE SMALLER WALLEYE SPOONS STINGER TYPE.

I KNOW OF TWO BOATS ONE FISHED SUNDAY ONE MONDAY BOTH GOT THEIR LIMIT OF 12 BOTH SAID AFTERNOON WAS BETTER THAN MORNING. I ALSO KNOW OF ANOTHER BOAT OUT ON SUNDAY THAT ONLY GOT THREE. ALL WERE BOTTOM BOUNCING AND TROLLING.FYI

THX FOR INFO I HAVE SOME SMALL WALLEYE SPOONS LIKE STINGERS NOT SURE WHAT SPEED TO RUN THEM AT?

CURIOUS WHEN TO TIE TO YOUR RAPALA DO YOU USE A RAPALA KNOT OR A SNAP SWIVEL?

OUT OF THE CATT?

THE OIL IS GOING TO BE HOT TONITE SWEET MEAT AND CORN ON THE COB.

FISHED OUT OF BARCELONA WEST OF HARBOR WE GOT 11, MISSED AND LOST ENOUGH TO HAVE HAD OUR LIMIT. THEY WANTED SOMETHING ORANGE IN 55 TO 70 FOW. HAD ONE FLURRY OF ACTIVITY. BUT REST OF DAY HAD TO WORK FOR THEM WE BB'D FOR THEM 1.5 SEEMED BEST. MADE A LONG TROLL TIL 5 PM AND COULDN'T GET NUMBER 12. NOTHING BIG 17 TO 24 INCH.

it was a float switch that controlled gas flow it tanked!!! they replaced it along with new plugs.

PICK UP BOAT TOMORROW PROBLEM WAS A FUEL SENSOR, GONNA BE OUT OF THE CATT ON FRIDAY.

COOL I HOPE THE THE CATT TURNS ON OR THE SBH BEFORE THE END OF THE SEASON. MY BOAT IN SHOP NOW. BUMMER.

THX BB I ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOUR DETAILED INFO. HEADED TO SEAGER MARINE TOMORROW MY BIG MERC 115 HAD PROBLEMS LAST WEEK FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, HOWEVER THE SMALL HONDA 9.9 RAN FINE NOT A GAS ISSUE. I HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING STARTED RUNNING SLOW BUT ONCE I GOT IT GOING FAST IT WAS OK. 1ST PROBLEM I'VE HAD WITH THIS 2013 MERC. I ONLY RUN WITH IT.

I THINK YOUR RIGHT THAT'S HOW I READ IT MORE OR LESS. GOOD JOB!!!

FYI, THERE IS A YOUTUBE VIDEO CALLED SONAR FOR DUMMIES THAT'S ME. LOL THAT HAS 6 LESSONS IN ONE 47 MINUTE VIDEO. I HAVEN'T GOT A CHANCE TO VIEW IT TODAY. THERE ARE ALSO SOME GOOD DR SONAR VIDEOS TOO. TO BUSY STUDYING FOR MY HEALTH INSURANCE TESTS.

I AM NOT SURE HOW TO READ A HUMMINBIRD SCREEN NO EXPERIENCE. DO THINK THE BIG DARK MARKS ARE THE BAIT OR THE WALLEYES? THOSE NOT LIKE THE RIBBONS THE OTHER FISHERMAN SHOWED US ON HIS SCREEN. THX

THANK YOU FOR REPLYING BUT I'LL TRUST THE EXPERTS ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT INVENTED AND TEST THE TECHNOLOGY. PLUS MY OWN EXPERIENCE WITH THOSE HEAVY RIBBONS MAYBE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 2 DIFFERENT KINDS OF RIBBONS ON THE SCREEN? IF YOU REALLY COULD EVEN 80 TO 90% OF THE TIME IDENTIFY DIFFERENT SPECIES OF FISH WITH CERTAINTY AND SONAR. IT WOULD BE HEAVILY MARKETED, ADVERTISE AND BE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I HAVE A LOWRANCE HDS 9 GEN 2 TOUCH. GOOD INPUT AND DISCUSSION THX AGAIN.

HOWDY FELLOW FISHER PEOPLE. I DON'T WANT TO START AN ARGUMENT SO FOR THE SAKE OF THE DISCUSSION I WILL OFFER YOU THIS. I JUST WENT ON A YOUTUBE HUNT, SPOKE TO AN AMERICAN LOWRANCE TECH SUPPORT SUPERVISOR, A NAVY SONAR OPERATOR, WATCHED A DR SONAR VIDEO HE'S . I DID FIND A FEW THAT SAID YOU COULD TELL DIFFERENT SPECIES BUT THERE WEREN'T VERY CONVINCING. THE LOWRANCE SUPERVISOR SAID THERE IS NO UNIT MADE OTHER THAN A CAMERA THAT CAN DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN SPECIES OF THE APPROXIMATE SAME SIZE IN A MULTI SPECIES LAKE. THE NAVAL SONAR OPERATOR SAID IF HE GETS A SIGNAL ON HIS SCREEN HE CAN'T TELL IF IT'S A SAILBOAT BOAT OR A CENTER CONSOLE, DR SONAR SAID THEY ARE SO MANY FACTORS SUCH AS DEPTH, SENSITIVITY SETTING OF A UNIT, SPEED YOU CAN HAVE A HARD TIME EVEN DETERMINING SIZE. TWO SMALL FISH TOGETHER CAN LOOK LIKE ONE BIG MARK. SO I STILL DON'T BELIEVE THOSE RIBBONS ARE MARKS OF WALLEYES BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE. TRUTHFULLY ON L ERIE WHEN THOSE RIBBONS ON MY SCREEN I EITHER CAUGHT NOTHING OR WHITE PERCH. YES I CAN SAY WITH SOME CERTAINTY THOSE MARKS THAT I TYPICALLY SEE ON ERIE ARE WALLEYES BUT THE OTHER HAND I WOULDN'T BET MY LIFE THAT NEXT FISH COMING OUT OF THOSE MARKS WON'T BE A SHEEPHEAD, BUT I MIGHT BET $5. THAT'S MY FINDING AND I RESPECT EVERYONE'S RIGHT TO THEIR OWN OPINION. IT KINDA NEAT TO GET DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES ON VARIOUS TOPICS. IF YOU FIND A VIDEO THAT SHOWS FOR SURE HOW TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPECIES SUCH AS WALLEYES FROM SHEEPHEAD GUARANTEED SENT IT ALONG PLEASE. AS I SAID I KNOW A LOT ABOUT FISHING GOT MORE TO LEARN ABOUT CATCHING. :)

BEN'S 100% DEET!!!

THE MAYFLY HATCH IS OVER. IT CAN BE A FACTOR BUT NOT NOW FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN ON THE WATER..

I WOULD SAY THOSE 2 OR 3 BIG ORANGE MARKS ON YOUR SCREEN ARE EYES THE REST IS EITHER BAIT OR SOMETHING ELSE. YOU HAVE 2 OR 3 SPREAD OUT ORANGE MARKS SO IT NOT DISTANCE FROM THE CONE THAT CAUSING THOSE VARIATIONS IN SIZE AND SHAPE OF THE LIGHTER MARKS OR THE THINESS AND THICKNESS OF THOSE OTHER MARKS. WALLEYE/SHEEPHEAD MARKS ARE REASONABLY CONSISTENTEN IN THEIR VARIOUS SIZES AND SHAPES. THAT'S HOW WE ARE ABLE TO READ OUR SCREENS. IF THOSE ARE ALL WALLEYES I'D BE AMAZED IMHO. THE WALLEYE MARKS ON MY LOWANCE LOOK MOST OF THE TIME LIKE YOUR STRONG ORANGE MARKS. THERE CAN ALSO CAN BE CLUTTER JUST UNDER THE SURFACE EVEN CAUSE BY WAVE BUBBLES OR MOTOR INFERFERENCE. HOWEVER I DON'T THINK THOSE MANY LIGHT MARKS ON YOUR SCREEN ARE EITHER OF THOSE. INTERFERANCE/SURFACE CLUTTER CAN SHOW UP ON A SCREEN BUT IF TRY TO HAVE A REAL CLEAN SCREEN YOU LOOSE YOUR SENSTIVITY. THOSE HEAVY RIBBONS ON THE OTHER FISHERMAN'S SCREEN ARE NOT WALLEYES THEY JUST DON'T SCHOOL THAT WAY. TIGHT LINES

I GUESS WHEN THEY SAY "GET THE LEAD OUT" YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT!!! NICE.

ONE LAST THING I HAVE SEEN THOSE RIBBIONS B4 I HAVE NEVER CAUGHT A WALLEYE FROM THEM IN 8 YEARS ON ERIE WITH MY LOWARENCE UNITS. MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE HAS?

HOWDY, I HAVE A LOWARANCE HDS 9 THIOSE RIBBONS ARE NOT WALLEYS IN MHO. LOOK A SOME OF THE OTHER SCREENS ON THIS SITE THOSE ARE WALLEYS AND SHEEPHEAD NO SCREENS HAS RIBBIONS LIKE YOUR SHOWING. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THOSE RIBBIONS ARE BUT I AM 100% CONFIDENT IN WHAT THEY AREN'T. THE WALLEYES NEVER SHOW UP IN BIG RIBBONS LIKE YOUR SCREEN NEVER. ONE MORE THING I ALMOST NEVER GET A HOOK LIKE THEY SHOWN WHEN ADVERTISING PICTURES AND SCREENS. ( MAYBE MY UNIT ISN'T SET UP RIGHT TO SHOW HOOKS?) I HAVE SOME KINDA LONG ARCHES BUT MOST ARE INDIVIDUAL ALMOST STRAIGHISH FUNNY LOKING THINGS THAT ONE MIGHT SEE UNDER A MICROSCOPE. DON'T HARDLY LOOK LIKE FISH SO NEED SOME INTERPRETATION WHICH EXPERIENCE TEACHES US. BUT SOMETIMES MULTIPLE MARKS THAT LOOK UNUSUAL UNTIL YOU LEARN TO READ THEM AND GAIN CONFIDENCE BECAUSE YOU CATCH WALLEYES AFTER SEEING THEM. AS I SAID LOK AS SOME THE SCREENS ALREADY POSTED THOSE GUYS KNOW MOST OF THOSE FISH ARE EYES. TIGHT LINES
