O.K., we've been through this before, but time to do it again, need more inputs and some memory refreshers, heh.
I have an old humming bird unit that I think I am just going to retire, time for another new toy anyway.
I do most of my fishing from the front of my boat and am putting a bow mount troller on soon, so I will kost likley use this style transducer for whatever unit I purchase.
I bought a Marcum last winter and fell inlove with the flasher type technology, but as far as I know Marcum only has one style transducer, and no bottem lock which may or may not be a problem, but without the right transducer, I guess I'm SOL anyway.
I have read a few reports here and there about the zercom LPG, Garmins, Vexilar Edge, and CLC-200 look good too, (Edge ofcourse is pretty spendy)
I'm no expert at reading a flasher, I certainly can tell when theres fish, but I have a hard enough time telling if theres weeds or what kind of bottem I'm fishing when I'm ice fishing, so I can see this being a real problem using this when in open water without a sonar, but ofcourse I like the real time activity. I'm pretty much at a loss as what to get, so any input would be much appreciated.
I also thought of getting a decent sonar model, and perhaps grabbing a used Fl-18 if I find one, run the fl-18 transducer off the trolling moter and the other of the transom.
Is it really necessary to have both? or is there a good non flasher type out there that will give me as good of results as a flasher unit but easier to distinguish what your fishing over?
I really don't care about that.
Sad to say the best chance of a championship at the moment in this state is the Twolves.
Used to be such the fan, but the NBA lost me with the pick and roll.
But I'll watch come playoff time.
If KAT can't play worth a darn , the playoff run won't last long.
I thought I couldn’t dislike Glenn Taylor any more than I already did until today:
Glen Taylor with @ChadHartmanShow when asked if the reason for this happening is because the franchise might be worth double what he was selling it for:
"Partly so, yes. I have a responsibility to those who have been on this ride for the last 40 years."
Sellers remorse for sure but too bad for him the deal was inked 3 years ago. Hopefully the league has a way to arbitrate so it doesn’t go to court, but we will see.
