Time to make some noise

[hammer4reel]

Took side scan transducer off and put standard 2 beam chirp on .

Hoping to read bottom better at full speed running skinny water 

[hammer4reel]

Success , had to turn up the sensitivity, but can read bottom pretty decent running between 25/30 now.

anything under 25 and can run unit in normal modes ..

 

.ready to start fishing with it now.

come on shad tourney .   

 

Saw at a few eagles , had lunch on the river .

nice finally having a warm day on the weekend.

Cool, i always found that running the narrowest beam produces best results at higher speeds

Very nice

Great - more reasons for you drive another boat at extreme speeds...         Have you considered NASCAR?  It's not too late.   That is pretty cool though, the more I think about it

With the jet is doesn’t reach extreme speeds lol.

will do about 34.

thats fast enough running skinny water .

Once I’m running over 15 it will run in 2/3 inches of water. So just wanted a good read while up on plane.

other transducer wouldn’t read clear along sponson pods .

.

‘no one at the spot above the gap , really looked over that spot .

that pool has more spots for eddies in it than I had thought .

If water temps were up a little I would have fished yesterday.

Was good leaving the rods home and concentrating on tweaking the sonar. 

Once fishing gets good .would never take the time to get it right .

Curious as to why you would need to read the bottom in 4' or less of water.  Looking for obstacles?

Cool but I still would have brought a couple rods. Was plenty of hour in the day to fish a little. But I know you want it running the best it can be so you left the rods home.

Yes . Actual bottom running in skinny water .

Boat will run in just a few inches of water on plane but need about a foot when running slower .

 

Need to get through some tight areas  to utilise the whole river
