I just bought a 2k 25hp today and dehe askasia river her cided to go for a ride and try it out. I went on the Kaskaskia river here buy the house. The motor ran wonderfull . I also am trying out my new Humminbird 998. The Asian Carp are so thick it is unreal! Fying out of the water every where. What amazed me was how many the fish finder was showing. The side scan was full of solid fish out to fifty feet in some areas,,the sonar and down imaging were showing fish like crazy. 10 years agao this was a Crappie heaven to fish,,now its just full of trash fish. Very sad to see how bad it is. Someday I will try to post pics. They were amzing but sad at the same time. Hope they dont spread to other areas this bad.
