[#ff0000][size 3]BLM - You said to make sure your transducer is never below the level of the ice, and into open water, why is that? I've never used a graph through the ice and wondered what your reasons and experiences were. [/size][/#ff0000]
[#ff0000][size 3]As I was reading I was wondering about the tri-finders that look sideways such as P4L's. Sounds like he and FW's have the right idea; incorporate the best of both worlds, side viewing sonar for a wide view at all depths and flasher for local finesse. Poke a hole, look around, find the big school, poke another hole and go play. I should make this thing and make a bazillion bucks.... One problem, the transducer would have to hang below the bottom lip of the ice. With BLM's insight we can engineer a fix for that also. [/size][/#ff0000]
[#ff0000][size 3]I'm hoping I can get a peek at the technique of the masters at HFT's class. [/size][/#ff0000]
