I got an Aqua Vu Scout 50 last Christmas and I got a chance to use it 3 or 4 times this past summer. I usually fish on a very clear lake and I wanted to find some structure and mark their locations on a GPS.
This next year I want to drop it down from time to time and see if I can identify some fish. Unfortunately it seems almost impossible to fish and hold depth with that cable at the same time. Has anyone come up with a good way of spooling the cable off the side of the boat? I'm thinking of mounting a small spool reel with a crank and locking nut (think smaller version of garden hose reel). Maybe also come up with a way to mount the monitor/battery to the side of the console. Just curious to see if anyone else has tried anything along these lines. Thanks
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.
