Current Creek 1-1-07

Fished currant creek today... we fished from about 1:30 until 4:30... not a bite for the first three and a half hours... we fished in 78 feet of water and then moved to about 25 feet of water and then moved to about 40 feet of water.. we threw everything at them, paddlebugs, whatta cricket, kastmaster, swedish pimples, ice flies, sonar flashes... everything we could think of.. finally about 3:45 we caught our first on a chartreuse paddle bug tipped with a meal worm.. a 12 inch bow... then we caught four more really quick... it seemed like a large school moved in because we started getting a lot of hits and cought those four in about 45 minutes.. with lots of bites.. then the wives got cold (mine and my brothers, I dont have multiple wives [cool])... and we had to go... there were probably fifty other people on the lake all over.. I didnt see anyone else catch anything...

Does anyone have any experience with the bottom line fishing buddy 2202... I cannot figure it out.. I must be an idiot.. the owners manual says that it should look down on the right screen and look forward on the left part of the screen... I can see fish on the forward looking part of the screen but I cant see anyfish down below us. Any help would be great...

[black][size 3]I have a 2255. I am not exactly sure of that particular model, but, On your's you should be able to change screens for the side only or the bottom and side views. Use the menu and go to screens - then choose the screen you want to use. It's a 2 or 3 step process I think. [/size][/black]

[black][size 3]Were you getting a reading of the bottom of the lake ? Not just the depth numbers, but the actual bottom reading ?[/size][/black]

I changed screens and went only to the bottom view and then I wouldnt see any fish... I am thinking about buying a vexilar, but my problem is I just dont know enough about them.. I am trying to read about what the advantages and divantages area... let me ask you a question... if price was not a concern what would you get a digital screen or a vexilar style???
