Went out to Blue Lake to give the old tube and fishfinder mount a test drive. Works great! Mounting on a pvc T doesn't create any drag at all, so that worked out. I need to raise the left side of the mount a bit because the screen tilts to the left. No big deal just want it nice and level (perfect).
No fish arches though just straight lines. I read in the manual to get an arch you need to be moving, so thats probably why. One thing that bugged me about the finder is that I had an almost solid line near the surface on the screen. Kind of looks like a second bottom echo. Any one know what the problem could be and how do I get rid of it? I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the disturbance caused by my flippers churning up the water.
The fishing was great as usual and managed to catch some large gills too thanks to TD's world famous bait bugs. Largest one was an even 10", just an inch and a half shy of state record and 1 1/4" away from catch and release state record. I was bummed when I measured him, was sure he was a foot long, lol.
