What Bill said , I was about to write the same thing

To me its clearly a high point of a crater that is high enough to still catch a piece of the sun which would have shade in the crater hole and black pass the area the sun hits

Your cooking thread you seem to have 3 log in names i would think admin could give you your password to your first name

I think just making a platform for the open spot would work perfectly and if you re carpeted it it would look great but if you want it to look the very best a whole platform would most likely look best

It’s pretty easy to fill in the open space and have a full casting platform and a Fortrex would work fine if you fish reeds or shorelines or boat docks fortrex is 100% better then any other type control control control

Postponed. For a minute I thought they had totally canceled it

Yeah but then I can’t afford to move if she takes half of everything damn catch 22

Nice here the ice wasn’t thick enough to run my side by side for the short winter we had and you are still driving trucks on the ice i just can’t convince my wife to move up that way

In my opinion you want an 80 lb thrust

It really depends on what part of the country and type of lake I’m fishing on simcoe meegs and vibratos fished near the bottom with a loony bin bug or blood worm 3 ft above it for whitefish. But up north small jigs with white plastic or small spoon 5 to 15 ft above the bottom. If there is a major hatch going on very small bugs and inch plastics work and for Tulibee /cisco / herring it really depends on how high in the water column they are swimming. But small baits always for them

Yeah I did Google earth and I looks like it ends at the road and there is beaver damn and house right there

Paintball gun works wonders just kidding lol

Well I would say if it’s contained it is legal anywhere in Ontario on a frozen lake

Seem to have been banned and deleted

So you have only posted 5 times and each time you post a link , which has little to do with the original poster. So do you get paid for each hit on a link you provide

With livescope i have seen a lot of fish but the first time I marked a muskie and could even see its fins and tail moving and it was so big I just couldn’t believe it , it was worth the price of admission

Fishing regulations

Yeah that’s where I got mine and the holes did line up

I am old enough to remember when some tournament participants said sonar was unfair and should be banned electric trolling motors were next and gave an unfair advantage live catch weight and release would be the end of tournament fishing livescope need to be banned and Greta Thunberg posted in 2018 in which she said that the world will end in 2023

Your right , you still need fishing skills to catch , but I will admit my sonar died on me this winter and I packed up and went home but I’m a technical nut always have been and always will be. Sometimes I quit fishing and just watch the fishes behaviour on the scope or the camera. I have even bent the hook so I could watch perch reaction without having to bring them up and unhook them

Of course We use one livescope in a shack too I would think most people do. My point was the narrow beam and finding the position so you can see all jigs And again it was me that mentioned following baits from when it it the water back to the boat and again the point was the narrow beam to follow it back I also troll and watch my bait and the fish behind me as long as your going fairly straight it’s easy to do but if you are following a contour it’s too much work to keep turn the transducer to stay on the lure . It’s amazing how many fish follow and swipe at your lure and you never know without a camera or livescope and yes I believe some days all types sonar will spook the fish and you need just turn stuff off

I happen to have the latest equipment and I understand how it works and I know what you are saying it impractical have you ever made a cast and watched it hit the water and follow it back to the boat with livescope if you turn it even a small bit you lose your bait because of of the small angle of the signal hell , even icefishing in down mode if you turn the transducer you can lose your jigs because of the narrow beam you are looking at so small of an area and missing much of the detail you need to see

Yup, exactly what Bill says

Yes I got the ps22 the year it can out and it was wonderful, I heard about livescope lvs 32 and was on the list to get it as soon as it came out and it was wonderful X2 then I saw the lvs 34 could be used in deeper water so I got it before the next winter I fished in bass tourneys for 11 years , long before all the good tec was available but have always been on top of the latest stuff I get people texting or calling me all time on the phone to walk them through problems with their fishing tec even makes I don’t own, I can usually track down the problem So I do have some idea what I am talking about too

For structures at a good speed side image is easier to watch then livescope livescope has a very narrow right to left beam and you would have to be constantly watching all at once and moving them , livescope has no history on screen but side image does making it easier to find structure it is easier to put a waypoint on structure from side imaging then Go up front and fine now if they are using perspective mode and are 15 ft of water or under that works well for finding structure and fish I very much understand the latest equipment and if some are doing it the way you say they are wasting time
