[size 2][font "Comic Sans MS"][black]Yea I.N. I did have my fishfinder operating. I even have a 3 foot deep alarm. But the noise of the motor outranked the sound of the alarm. At 17 mph I would have been on dry land before being able to respond to the alarm anyway. Because I "thought" I was out in the middle and busy responding to waves that I couldn't see, I just didn't pay attention to the depth sonar ..... you can bet I will next time ... I'm a damn fast learner! And I feel VERY lucky. Bait_Caster mentioned to me that had we been in a larger boat going 30 mph, we both would have been a$$ over tin kettle in the in water! Yup ... pretty stupid on my part and consider myself to be mighty lucky.[/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black]I've only been fishing BL for three years now. The first year was the best for me and this year the worst. Man I love bringing up those big lakers from down deep. I guess I need to stop my winning and start fishin'.[/black][/font][/size]
