Mantua Map Chapter 2 - fish_digger - 01-03-2015
I fished Mantua thru the ice for the first time today. I caught and released 5 trout and kept a limit of perch.

I put my original Mantua map to use, but went one step further. I created a mosaic of the side scan data that I recorded at the same time I recorded the depth data.
[inline "Mantua side scan.jpg"]
Using the side scan mosaic map I located several weed/brush piles and fished directly over them. One pile alone produced over 30 perch! Other piles produced 2 - 6 fish. Once a pile quit producing I moved to another one.
Ice was 4-6 inches. I found one small patch of open water, otherwise no cracking and solid. In short, a fun day.

You never did tell us which fish finder you're using. Dang sweet toy. Looks like it was worth the investment from today's results. Nice job. J

I have a Lowrance HDS-9. Any of the HDS models can record sonar logs. Some of the Hummingbird units can record as well
There were a couple of Fish & Game folks out today doing creel surveys. According to them, There is a very large population of perch in Mantua.
