There are a couple of lakes I can pop into B.C. to fish lakers. although the ones with the big fish either don't freeze or aren't particularly safe due to the dams. I'll probably try some next year, but I need to get out and map them first this summer.
I think you might be able to tickle 100' with live imaging if you go everything dialed in just right. 70-80' is a more practical limit though. I'll be shipping that Ice55 flasher out this week.
Yeah I get that you're trying to get an instinct bite and not let them get too good a look at your offering...just wasn't happening. Reel slow and they just followed it. Speed it up a bit to try to trigger them and they just peeled off. I have some footage from the Active Target since the Lowrance units record. I'll see if I can post some up this weekend when I am back at my lake house and see if anyone has any feedback.
Yeah it was a good trip. Not disappointed at all even though the action was a bit slower than we'd hoped. We're gonna try to head back out in March, depending on how a trip to Diefenbaker pans out. I sent you an email recently too.
P.S. Next time out with your Active Target, can you make a video showing your settings the way you did for your HB? There aren't as many settings on the Lowrance as the Garmin, but you're getting a way better return in 75' than I was able to dial in. Cheers.
Sleds or the Ranger would have definitely helped us this trip. The snow started getting a bit deeper late Saturday, and we had to drive over some overflow to come off Sunday. The poor little Taco(ma) won't haul my Ranger, so she'll probably wind up on the block this Spring.
My son-in-law dropped his phone in the hole in 120 fow watching YouTube videos when he got a bite. He was suffering withdrawal and contemplating his life choices the rest of the trip.
Broken teeth wouldn't be a problem if you lived on the other side of the province next to me.
