finding condos after placement

[bama647]

hey guys just wondering what methods you may use to find your condos after you get them out? only thing i can think of is land marks but wouldnt you risk spookin the fish looking for them? also do you guys generally cast around your condos to fish them or do you get over them and fish vertically?

I think the method of fishing your condos is personal preferance. I like to vertical jig mine. As for finding them...GPS. A wonderful tool. Don't know how I ever fished without it. Good Luck.

i use a gps, buoy marker, fish finder, then another marker to mark the top once I find it.

The gps works great it will put you right on top of your set. As far as fishing the set, depends how deap it is.

unfortunatly i dont have a gps yet and itll be awhile before i can get one. i think i know some places that will be ok and i can use some land marks to get me close. i guess thats really my only option right now. thanks guys

Bank line ups will get you close. If you can afford a cheap Etrax GPS ,I would. A cheap depth finder such as Cuda is great for zeroing in on top of condos. Some cheap bouy markers are almost a must to stay on your spot. I tried to use homemade bouy markers but they hung on my boat. Total cost for a set of buoys ,GPS, and depth finder is almost 200 bucks. But if you fish much they are worth every cent.:D

The gps I use is a garmin, and you can buy it now for 89.00 at wal-mart.It works really well.

$89 bucks is not as bad as i thought i may be able to get one sooner than i thought. just bought my fishfinder (eagle fishmark 320 portable) and im trying to get better using it.
