underneath me in greyscale.
I really got the unit locked down last winter. I had outings of double-digits fish. I can’t believe it took me so long to accept the technology and then to use it and learn it. I like the fact it was the cheapest route for me to take and it still produces fish like a unit that costs much more. It also represents a grey scale column and with the chart speed turned up full, I get real time action with it. Fish show up as three, four and five blocked “bumps” and when they go after my presentation, it is as if an invisible pen is drawing a line from the bottom up to my bait or lure. It is basic and it works. I was out with a few other guys who tried it last winter: one of WNM’s contributors, Bruce Heidman and former Sudbury Wolves captain Danny Desrochers. We all landed fish because of the unit, to sum it up fast.
I’ve taken these lessons to heart. My ice fishing season is simple now. The first couple of weeks of January, I head out and go after brook trout. Around the third week of January, I will switch over to lake trout and stay on them until break up. (I also plan to get in some walleye time this winter.)
This is by design. In my parts, the specks seem to hit hard and heavy in the early days of winter and then back off and become harder to catch (to me anyway LOL). The lakers seem to be more aggressive the rest of the season, especially in late March. So, I go after the hot fish.
This is just a few things I’ve learned. I will never stop learning and trying. It continues to pay off for me.
It’s a great approach for outdoors people.
