    Default Garmin Sideview Images from last trip


    Saw some of the largest crappie schools we have ever seen in this lake. Unfortunately they were smaller fish in the 10 inch or so range but fun to catch (and release, didn't keep any this trip, freezer already full).

    One spot was especially fun. When the school was marked we could circle around (pushing jigs) and I could call the hits just before they happened... "standby, now, now, now!" And on the third "now" the poles would go down as we hit the mark. What a hoot.

    One of the marks (image 6) was over a sunken boat apparently. At least it looks like that to me.

    Last, in the image marked "sv - 07 bluegills" we were actually transiting to another area on the lake, but still pushing the jigs. We were in the middle of nowhere when the poles went off, but no hookups. After circling and seeing the school on the scope it became clear why they didn't look quite right for a school of crappie... they were bluegills. We caught one or two out of the school proving it. The funny part is that they literally chewed our tube lures to pieces. Tore the tails off all the Mr. Twister Road Runners, shredded the legs of the tubes, etc. I have no idea what a random school of bluegills was doing in the middle of the lake over open water and zero structure or difference in the bottom.

    Great images and report. Thank for sharing.
    It's not the numbers or the size, it's the time spent on the water!

    Great images. How deep was the water, and were you close to home?

    Excellent report and pictures. I've had similar experiences of "calling the shot" (as I call it) when fishing both crappie and smallmouth bass. Great feeling. Congrats!

    Looks like an old boat to me.

    The side imaging is still new to me and I don't have the hang of it yet. I can drive by a known brush pile and still not see anything. I am going to check my spark plugs this morning and see if they are suppressor spark plugs as I have been told that can make a big difference. I am using a 93sv with chirp
