Sonars???

Recommended Posts

May be a stupid question, but can anybody send me a link of what a sonar (used for catching walleyes)looks like. I would appreciate it. Going to the river this weekend and heard that is what is hot and honestly have not heard of them before.

Thanks for the help.

Gerty, I'd bet you could go onto the hsolist fishing section and find a pic or 3.

Type in Heddon Sonar and you'll get some pics.

Other bladebaits are: Cicadas, Silver buddy's, Zip lures, and Gay blades.

Also if you didnt want to go to hsolist you could of just did a search on google and got a picture of one.

Gerty- these things work great when the fish want them...like now. They will come in two basic sizes...1/4 and 1/2 ounce. They do make a real honker for super deep water that weighs an ounce or better, but you'd need a broom handle to use them. If you decide to try these, take a rod of fairly stiff action throughout the blank and use a line of no more than eight pound. This is where the braids will really shine for you. Tie a small clip to your line and clip onto the lure with that and be sure to use the center hole for attaching to the clip. Drop the rig to the bottom, take up the slack and give it a good "wrist snap" sort of jig....not a Roland Martin hookset. When it settles wait a second and do it again. These baits are a lot of work, but they do catch fish! Colors to get are chartreuse, orange, green, black, purple, if you can find it. The generic brands work as well as the Name brands, but both will require that you touch up the hooks. You do not add and meat to the hooks as it will mess with the action. And if you do buy some of these and get to a good walleye water on the ice, by all means try them there! Many a wallhanger has fallen to them during a hardwater period.

CrappieTom, thanks for the info. I managed to buy some at 4 seasons and fish at Redwing on Saturday. I was wondering about the clip. I tied mine on. Had no more than jigged about 10 times and hooked a fish. Then everything was gone. mad.gif I should have checked my line for nicks afther the ride to the river. Oh well, should have just thrown $4 over the boat to start my day frown.gif. Tied on another sonar and never caught another fish. We ended up catching all of our fish on green jigs and the berkley equivalent to a 3" green super doos. Nothing fast and furious but, not bad. Should have been deer hunting when the 10 pointer came trotting down the rivers edge. If he was smart he just went and laid down somewhere.

TG - you are right about the diapers and the trip to Cabela's wink.gif.

I highly recommend the Goggle Search bar download available at the Goggle site.

Besides being a great search platform it also has a very effective pop-up blocker. No extra junk, no mandatory this or that, just a very good search bar.

I have had absolutely no complications with it, no Explorer glitches at all. A really great tool guys!

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
