OK, I launched the boat solo and went toward the Dam.
Most things went OK after I mowed the weeds in the yard. Got to the launch and the gate was open. The gate doesn't keep the launch private anyway as Rockland Creek is a gated community? Headed out the cove and the Simrad Chirping the 150 shows incredible amounts of small fish. My objective today is to try the HST wide angle ducer in single frequency or chirp at 200 or 83. Looked in a familiar area up river from the dam and found marks.
Don't have a clue what they are, but there were lots of fish! Not sure what ducer I was using and may have networked the HST at 83 to the Simrad for this shot.
The next 2 shost must be the TM150 on Medium chirp of marks in the same general area.
Needless to say, I had my toothache in the water and hit bottom with it and started the jig. After some time, I examined the toothache and recognized the manufacturers protective tubes on the hook points? Yep, took a few minutes to get the toothache hook freed from the protective tubes. Kept trying to motor back above the marks and let the wind drift me back, but only had one of something that may have been a snag. Broke off just before the surface. Likely a rope, etc.
The Lowrance structure kept going into pause, so I turned the networking off. Still happened, so I disconnected the ethernet cable. Must be something in the software that isn't set right. Also, I see lots of dashes that extend beyond the bottom and are not fish marks. Seem more like interferrence, but I'm not sure how or what. The source battery for the electronics was isolated at the time and I disconnect the onboard charger so there can't be any feedback through the Trolling Motor. Yet, I wasn't using the trolling motor?
Seems like there's a Gen 3 HDS12 in my dreams!
Well, I know the Simrad works just fine with either the
