Thread: After work in da heat

I didnt get any new electronics, but I'll bring it back to Oologah. Went Wed. caught 6 decent fish in 5 hours exploring the north end. Fish were 6 to 10 feet deep on structure. Smaller BG shad color jigs got more bites than bright big jigs. Water vis was about 14 inches. Water has cooled down some. Before I left a couple of weeks ago, morning temps before sunrise were 90-92 at Eufaula. Wed at Oologah they were 87 at 3 pm and 89 at the end of the day.

Haha I was referring to reaper. I believe he might have gotten some new garmin toys but could be wrong.

I did stick a Garming 73SV on the front of boat with the PS22 Panoptix transducer. It's the first time I've had a sidescan up front. I like the clarity of the chirp vs my HDS9 (gen 2) at the console. Even though the Garmin is powered separate from the TM. I do get electrical interference when the TM is running. I can still read the screen, but it's not as clear. The Panoptix is nice and helps maintain location of what I'm trying to fish and has shown me stumps and other structure in the area I'm fishing. I've seen my bait on it and fish come to inspect it but still haven't seen the fish take the bait. The side scan has helped me the most as far as locating structure from the front. I left my old Lowrance up front as well to keep a Map and 2D going which I used to use (still do) to confir structure under the front of boat.

The Panoptix is basically a 2d LIVE view of what's in front of the trolling motor and refreshes 5 times a second. It helps a lot and think it would be great to stay on a school of Crappie chasing a Shad ball. I prefer to use it to hunt blobs. Those blobs that show up that stick up about 2-3' off the bottom can sometimes hold a fish. The Panoptix is neat, but it hasn't put me on a bite of 200 fish.

I was playing with the Garmin GPSMAP 1042xsv yesterday and was really digging it. I see you can also purchase an ultra high definition scanner for it to give you 1.2 MHz images like the birds mega.

On getting your pictures oriented properly.....Crappy Pappy says to turn your camera 90 degrees right looking through viewfinder...The app wants to put your picture in landscape view and turns it 90 degrees left of how you take it...I am not an authority but Crappy Pappy is.....I'm fairly certain those were his directions.....Hope it helps you....It was nice to get to see your pictures.Thank You Kindly

What transducer do you have? When I bought my 1042xsv I ordered it without a transducer because I ordered a PS22. I recently sold the PS22 with the intentions of buying LiveScope. the LiveScope is on back order so I am without a front transducer.

I only used the PS22 a couple of times. Like you, I was able to see my bait on blobs that came to check my bait out but never watched one take the bait. The Panoptix was great for knowing exactly where the brush was at all times and even finding small structure I might have missed otherwise. I sold the Panoptix prematurely when I thought I was going to get a LiveScope. Wish I would have kept it until I had the LiveScope installed.

I don’t have a garmin. Was playing with it last BPS.
