The Spoonpluggers Forum

Not being a hunter I cannot fully appreciate the efforts you use to get your level of success while hunting. I do say that when I know you are coming to Chicago, I look more forward to hearing your stories about hunting than most peoples fishing stories. Especially about the mountain lions favorite ...

Josh, I have been creating an responses about sonar. Standard vs Broadband Sonar, Sonar vs. StructureScan Sonar, target separation,... Honestly with the talk to purchasing success I have been less enthusiastic about putting more work into it. But I have decided to put some links here so you or anybo...

Josh, Target seperation with standard sonar can be a problem. I am looking for a link that has a short article about it. However with the HDS/DSI units.the objects can be much closer and.much smaller. John has challenged me and I must check but I believe an HDS/DSI can show an object much smaller th...

There is nothing wrong with discussing modern technology. People are going to buy it they may as well make informed decisions. Bink you're right. David you're right. Without following the guidelines it doesn't matter what electronics you buy. However, following the the guidelines with the modern aid...

I think the best thing I can do to start off is with some terms to help you understand what it being said. Based on what you've written Josh you seem confused and that is certainly nothing to get bent about. This new tech shit can get out of hand. I will add posts - some smaller, some larger but thi...

Been flying for a couple of days. I'm not ignoring you. Let me take a nap so I can get a decent response. Steve is absolutely correct as usual. While I do get frustrated with some responses, I didn't delete my posts because I was pissed. I figured 10 page follow ups are just too much information. I ...

I have been watching this thread with interest. I have written a lot about HDS and most of the same things apply to the DSI units. I would be a bit careful about comparing Zercom's and some other units with either of the HDS or DSI units. I have seen first hand that modern Vexilar Flashers show thin...

I am not so certain bridge pylons are so valuable vertically so much as horizontally and giving breaks all the way from the deep to the shallows. We see vertical movement because there are bolts, seams, or changes in shape that can be used to allow fish to move.

Not knowing the limitations of electronics and too high expectations really are something we can get better at. Part of the issue with flashers, which I love and despite spending the past year learning my new HDS system - I would feel naked without my Vexilar flasher. In Minnesota we have a lot of F...

Hi Tim, Welcome to Spoonpluggers.net. Yes Cats fall to spoonplugs and other lures besides bait. As Spoonpluggers we do see that if we are catching cats on Spoonplugs then we are fishing too slow for anything else, including walleyes. Personally I don't consider that walleyes are that slow. Yes, gran...

Steve, why are you selling your elite?

Bill,
I couldn't find the listing. Could you send me a link?

I was going to write on this but I got stuck working all day.

I was thinking that this was going to be.one of the black water or tanic water lakes. Usually there aren't a lot of weeds. Very steep shoreline with the.bottom mostly rock and gravel. Man I was wrong. Interesting.

Did you get this motor with the new boat or something you had previously?

I wish it was a longshaft Steve. I am going to be buying a 20 Long shaft...Sorry.
Does it have electric start?
