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.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

Anybody have any experience with this?
