Great to finally meet you and it was "inspiring" to see your set up. Gave me a lot of ideas about how to better attach my trolling motor and adding accessories to hold rod, anchor, etc. Great idea in your post to use the Scotty strap to hold both the display and transducer.
Yes, what got me looking for another sonar was your story about seeing on your finder a trout out and down 15', casting to that depth, and getting a hit. I'm also trying to to learn the technique for chironomids and would like a better view of the bottom and a more accurate depth reading.
My most common technique is to slowly fin around the lake until I see fish on the sonar (or getting a hit is even better) and then stop and fish that area for a while.
So would you recommend the Humminbird 570 for what I'm looking for?
By the way, why are we both not out fishing today?
