learning to use the sonar...

[reelfast]

S 15 is an old wagon trail that comes in on the south side of the river bend above hole 13. It drops into the lake and can be seen on sonar. S 14 is a big arch passing over 13. I hit the button a little late. The sturgeon throw a big arch. I found some above Brownlee at Farewell bend also. They dont hold still very well. We didnt graph any more in any of the smaller holes going up to Loveridge bridge. But from 13 on down to Cove arm there were pods of these big arches. When we fished at cove arm we had a couple come up and roll with in 50 feet of the boat. We used crappie carcasses but had no bites on them. The catfish were active and chewed up the bait some. The lake had a big crappie spawn and I saw alot of dead ones floating around so our bait had lots of competition. C J Strike seems to be having a good cycle witht he crappie populations, bass, catfish, and perch all fishing well this year. The river flows are way up too so in the big picture the sturgeon should do well.
