I just got the navionics + and i would recommend not even wasting your 15$. Used the new contours lines on simcoe it was way off sometimes even by 15-20 feet, oh well

Use low power mode if available in that model and also if you have the tribeam transducer your cone will make a huge difference in size. I was in 10ft using my fl20 and couldn't figure out why my bait was marking so big then I remembered to change the angle from a narrow beam to a wider one.

the 28 comes with a pro view ducer so you know longer have that option. I have chatted with other guys on forums that have the same problem as I do. Seems like only way fishing in shallow water is to use the low power setting and this way you lose your zoom. One the other hand I might give that S cable a try and see if it really makes a difference. As for the digital depth jumping, still got no idea. Thanks for the tips guys!

I just recently upgraded from a flx18 to a 28. I used it for the first time this weekend but only fished in less than 10 feet. So far I'm not really liking it too much, my bait looked so huge on the screen and the gain was at 0. I played with all the settings, I really could not figure out how to make it any smaller. The other thing was the digital depth read out. It showed up and then the depth kept jumping by 1 or 2 feet. Sometimes it was consistent jumping and really i couldn't tell what the actual depth was. It was only my first time using it, I'll give it another shot before I decided to keep it or return it. I'd just like to get another opinion from somebody else that may have it and what is thier expierence so far.

Thanks all

I've been to the lake couple times so far drilled 80-100 holes and cant seem to locate any fish. Fish depths that vary from 14-52 feet and can't even mark any fish on the flasher except for rockbass. Just wondering if anyone has every fished this lake and had the same expierences as me. If anyone has any tips on where I should be looking for fish, that would be awesome.

Just a waiting game from this point i guess

Hi, I'm looking to get out on the ice tommorrow to try out our new gear, doesnt matter where or for what just want to get out once atleast this year. Im from Hamilton anywhere within 3-4hours driving distance is fine. We have a lake in mind around the sudbury area but not sure how the ice is up there. If anyone could guide me to a ice covered lake that would be awesome. Not looking for any spots or anything just ice! Thanks much appreciated.

Anyone know where i could get a ice hut for overnight it doesn't even have to be lake simcoe it could be up to 3 hours from toronto. Thanks

Npissing is a bit to far I'm looking for something thats 2 hours away from Toronto and rent by daily charge. I've called over 50 places tonight can't find anything. Anyone have any other suggestions or sites?

Hey folks it's been a while since I've posted. Been to busy with life and don't have much time for fishing right now.However Ihave 4 days off on the long weekend and I'm planning on renting a cottage and need some help. I'me looking for a cottage around the muskoka area from the 25th to the 27th. I've done some searching on the net but I've found mostly minimum rentals of a week. I know it might be to late, but maybe i can still find something. Anyone know any good cottage or lodges around the muskoka area. Ps. the fishing doesn't have to be great. Thanks

Me and my dad are planning on going on a fishing trip for this long weekend. Were coming from Hamilton and looking for a 6-7 hour drive at max. Were interested in catching walleye bass and pike and renting a boat. Can anyone recommend any good lodges or resorts they have been successful with in the past?

Thanks

I use to fish it for salmon before they put the highway in. It had a decent run for the creek size but ever since that I haven't seen any decent salmon runs only 2-3 dead ones. Don't expect too much from there.

Thanks for the replies and updates, I'll check it out next week.

At first I thought you guys cut off half the pole, that is insane.

Anyone from sudbury or around there know what the ice is like on some of the lakes? (mostly the smaller ones)

No it's not closed

Yes they are there, started about 2 weeks ago.

Nice mixed report!! And that looks like a Mink to me

It is interesting to see people who have flamed me before admit that they salmon fish in tribs too ... Wow, what a shocker ..

 

thought I have been the only sinner on this board ..

 

Cheers,

Give it up already!!

There's lots of salmon down at the wp, they were jumpign liek crazy last time

Your color blind

When it was a Sanctuary and people fished there all the time never once did I see anybody come and do anything. People that were around me called the police but nobody ever showed up. I remeber last year under the bridge a couple of guys walking into the sanctuary with fishng rods were stopped as a guy yelled out you can't fish in there, and they said why not. And the guy explained to them that it was a sanctuary and if they got caught they would get fined and they said how much? The guy said 500 bucks or something I can't remember, and they said "we make enough money" and they gave him the finger and went fishing. That place is jsut discusting when it comes to salmon season.

I heard people make milkshakes from gobies, so salmon yeah i guess there safe
