MarCum transducer - open water??

[rpaulson7]

I've read a little bit about using the high-speed transducer for open water. I have the LX-3 unit.

My question is will the normal ice fishing transducer work in open water when slowly moving? Like when using the trolling motor to work structure with a jig and minnow? Or working a drift in the wind? Or do you have to be perfectly still for the ice ducer to work?

I want to use my LX-3 in a friend's boat so I have something to look at on fishing opener weekend. I plan on putting the ducer over the side of the boat if it'll work.

Anybody have any experience with this?

Sure it'll work. You'll have to mount the ducer on something to keep the bottom of the ducer perpendicular to the waters surface.
