    I'm thinking of upgrading my fish finder to a Garmin 93 Sv (without the panoptics transducer).

    Anyone out there who has used one in real life?

    I'm currently using a Lowrance 5 inch sonar and a stand alone Lowrance global map GPS with a Navionics chip.

    I Like the Global map and will probably keep it on the boat, but I would like to upgrade to a more modern sonar.

    I like the way the 93Sv snaps into bracket without having to plug in a bunch of cables. 

    Opinions welcome.

    Thanks

    For some years I used Garmin. It's easy in use, has clear interface.

    I can't really help you on jig fishing the western basin because when I fished it we didn't start until memorial weekend for our season. but have made a few trips around the middle of may and did good trolling cranks. I have only been jig fishing 1 time with a friend that fished it. but the fishing can be hot early jig fishing, but some guy's troll cranks at certain places and do well. are you set up to troll with rod holders mistakes people make when shopping online ?when we started trolling, we just flat lined and used 2 down riggers and 2 outriggers. we ran 2 9' rods straight out the side 2 straight back off each corner 2 16' outriggers straight out the sides 2 downriggers at a 45-degree angle back and set at different depths depending on the fish. our hot baits were hot n tots and wiggle warts and any diving crank we had. but now I think bandit and husky jerks are used by most. but they didnt have those cranks back then, plus we caught fish using the hot n tots and wiggle warts.

     

    It wasn't a bad catch.

    he hasn't touched the boat since to find the problem. I am 71 and have trouble getting around or up in the boat but I did find both batteries are shot. next year we will have time to get things fixed and water test it before taking it to Erie in July. so, next year I may have things to report. but i believe it will be a much better year if i can just get my son on the right page.

    I'm sure that this year will be better and the weather and nature gives us the best timespending!

    Hey all,

    A new Canadian online fishing retailed has launched called Tackle Depot.
    They want to offer competitive shipping rates and deals for Canadians. Reason being that important fees and exchange rate sucks.

    They've also launched an affiliate program that will pay 2.5-5% commission for life.

    They've also got a News section that seems to have interesting articles.
    I would keep an eye out for these guys as they continue to grow.

    I I used this twice. It works

    How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? lol....

    Once the thermocline sets up, things are more stable, but winds can cause reverse submarine currents which mess with a bait's action at depth as it is trolled along.  A thermocline can bend and change depth after strong winds.  The depth you caught fish at before the blow could be drastically different temperature and void of fish after. 

    This infish article is also worth reading on the topic....
