    Default Sidescan Jamming Tech

    I have been having a lot of fishermen going by me with their sidescan and marking my piles. Normally this would not bother me but there have been several in the past few days and its kinda gettin my goat. I try to give my piles to the lake but sometimes it's hard to give up my best stuff. I have got an idea for a jammer and was wandering if anyone has thought of this yet.I worked signal corp in the army and we had some pretty neat jamming tech back then and was thinking of something to jam the signal. Anyone have any thoughts about this please chime in..................ifish

    FCC might not like you if you were to get caught. Lets face it, this is the going technology and people can find your brush piles from a long way off now. Day or night. How would you prevent it when you are not there?

    personally i don't see a problem with them finding and marking and fishing your or anybody brush piles, that is why they spend so much money on technology. you know when you put brush in a lake it doesn't belong to you anymore i know you probably don't like it but that is the way it is.have you not ever found and fished some body brush pile?with sonar technology the way it is and what direction it is taking if you don't want them to fish your brush-piles then you might as well not put it out
    The fishing was good,it was the catching that was bad

    Sure hope if you do that it does not burn up someones unit. Or even yours while doing it. AS that could cause a lot of issues to come up. As posted after there in the water there eveyones. Shoot I found lots of beds way before I got a SI unit.
    It was good meeting you the other day.

    This is why it is best to put cover out at several locations so that if someone is on your spot you will have others to go check out.

    Should be easy enough to do. The frequencys are known, so you just need to duplicate them to confuse the unit. Probably the easiest way for you to do it to buy one yourself, and only turn it on when someone is come by. They should get cross talk and grable the display. I'm sure you would not use it to find more brush.

    Are you joking????

    Like others have said - once it is in the lake it ain't exclusively yours! Furthermore----as others have said, if you don't want people fishing it don't put it out, plain and simple.

    Good luck to you though!:D

    From a technical side about all I can think you could do is to broadcast a signal back towards them at the same frequency as they are using. Right now there are only three Si frequencies in use to worry about so as long as you were broadcasting at all three frequencies at the same time you should be good. As mentioned you would have to be there or have some underwater battery powered device at each brush pile (if it were above water they could see it and want to see what it was…). I would recommend a very wide beam so that you would not have to be as exact in your aiming of the beam towards the unwanted sonar device.

    Of course if you did make such a device and it worked, all they would have to do is mark a waypoint of save a trackplot and follow it back later when you weren't there to see what you were trying to hide...

    I feel your pain brother, but I don't think this would be very effective. Fun maybe, but probably not that effective in the end. Good luck with it if you try it.

    Yep. Any effort to try to hide something will only draw attention to it. Not to mention it would only work while you are there, and you don't need a sonar to find brushpiles when you see somebody fishing them.
