Location: 31 | We just got another 5” of snow here, and I must say this cold and snowy winter has provided yet another layer of respect from me for you guys from the more northern regions… I honestly don't know how you do it. Old man winter, will you ever release your icy grip to make way for thickening weed beds and the great toothy one?
I think that Cyber's comment to watch the videos is an outstanding suggestion.
I typically don't like to comment on something I do not have a direct knowledge with. However, when I read Kirby's post, I instantly thought about casting at night with the structure scan/spotlight scan dialed in to help pick up follows.
I think it's a pretty neat concept and although I have no experience with it, I don't see why it would not have some very viable muskie applications in that regard. Perhaps somebody familiar with casting with the Bird 360° imaging can chime in with more detail?
For you guys who are interested in the Lowrance spotlight scan, a bit of a heads up… I ordered one in January and it is back ordered until 3-7 (hopefully). I don't know if there's going to be a shortage, but I also didn't want to take a chance waiting until May to order just in case.
Brian, I have friends who were that good with their sonar, and it was truly amazing to watch! I just never got to that level of confidence with them, and super glad that's in the rearview mirror for me now. That is going to be a tough call for someone with your ability... but nothing lasts forever either eh'.
Frank, I honestly have no idea on that number per unit, but can tell you that trolling with the SS was a real game changer for me… it even changed the way I make my trolling passes, and it keeps me running optimally a greater percentage of the time.
For instance; I can precisely first run one side of my board lures through the “spot and spot” just in case they're not into a prop wash bite that day. So, not only is finding those little gems more efficient, SS then allows an astute angler to literally pick them apart differently depending on conditions.
Andy, like your friend recommended to you, I rely heavily on icons to help make better trolling passes. One thing I am hugely disappointed with is the way that Lowrance reconfigured the icons/waypoints with the HDS… but that's a whole other topic.
