Mozz, Torsa and Jimi have their patch locked down with the use of their sounders and gps. This is after years of eperience. That screen represents some serious fun i can tell you! After being out with Torsa I've seen its possible to track fish and your jig and find spots that hold different fish like Snapper. It was an eye-opener for me. With all their success, they are still generous with sharing their knowledge and wisdom, whilst practising/preaching conservation in regard to their 'back yard'.
 
Thanks guys.  Thumbs%20Up

what transducer/mount are you guys running with the Furunos? I've got the 585 w the 600w transom. Thinks its mounted too high at the mo (still Tobez) - she loses the bottom around 18knts.

The boat shop mounted mine too high as well. i had to take it back and get them to shift it to the other side as well. Pissed me off. It was loosing the bottom and skipping on the slightest chop. is sweet now though. It even said in the instructions that it had to be mounted as far below the hull as possible on craft cable of over 35 knots. At first the bottom of the tranny was bearly in line witht the bottom of the hull. Its now mounted on a nylon pad. the bracket should not extend below the bottom of the hull.
It IS possible to have good readings at all speeds. No compromise.

Finally had a chance ot get out on me own boat this weekend, out over the Cobra Rock area, and this is the sort of sign I am used to finding out there.... oh, and the gain is wound right down as well!

Stacks and stacks of kingies. We could see them everywhere under the boat. Jigs, SPs, they were climbing over everything. The big problem was trying to get the larger ones among the masses of rats. Best we could manage out of the scrum were only 20lbs max, but still took home enough to fill the smoker for the guys.

cheers, Stu.

Buying a good brand sounder and a top transducer is the key, losing the bottom is just not an option in any form of the game, and I'm sure there are plenty of arguements but to be successful time and again it is an absolute must. My experience is that the big girls do come from nearer the bottom, however the entire school could be big girls and the jig/bait is just getting hit early. I don't often catch big kings amongst rats but have located bigger fish by sounding other areas which can be very close by.
