| While I rarely participate in the message boards, I have been a long time reader of them because I highly value the opinions and expertise of the many anglers who regularly contribute. Consequently, I would appreciate some feedback on my situation.
Earlier this year, I was able to purchase a Minn Kota Mega 360 imaging system and a Helix 12 unit which I hooked up to my Ultrex. Also in the bow, I have a Vexilar flasher and a Lowarance LCX 27C which I use primarily for GPS/waypoint guidance.
I spent a lot of time on You Tube attempting to understand and program the Mega 360 and also on a local lake actually using it on known structures. On my one Canadian muskie trip this year, I went up with high hopes that perhaps on clean rock structure I might be able to scan the water looking for fish before we even took a cast.
Well, the exact opposite happened. Not once during the entire trip did I spot a muskie first that we would then cast to. And this was despite the fact that fish were occasionally present on spots we were casting. So to say I am disappointed would be a big understatement. My first thought on this situation is my problem involves "operator error". Perhaps I just need to do more reading and get more on the water experience. Also, in my area is a fishing electronics expert who will, for a fee, go out in your boat and provide you with hands on instructions to get the most out of your electronics. Hiring him next spring is something I'm likely going to do.
So any thoughts or comments regarding this situation will be greatly appreciated.
