Nobody been around the canal lately that can give me some idea on water conditions to expect?

Buddy and I went to Blacks Camp last month, bad weekend choice weather wise. Lots of rain beforehand and wind. Wind kept us off the lakes and so, thinking Catfish out of the wind, the canal was...

I've actually been communicating with this guy the last several days & discovered him last year with the 93. His is probably the best tutorials out there, or at least, the best I've found. I have...

Actually figured it out. Went to Nav Info/Manage Data/User Data Sharing (this was in OFF position, turned it ON on both units and all waypoints transferred) Routed my ethernet cable through the rod...

Well I picked up the 106sv ultra and got it installed this weekend. Well, I say installed. Basically just removed the 92sv and mounted the cradle onto the Ram mount. Plugs are all the same. ...

Good. I couldn't see removing one then going through the painful process of snaking the cable if there's no difference.

Another maybe dumb question. I bought the 93sv last year w/GT54 transducer. This 106sv comes with the same GT54. I’m assuming it’s exactly the same technology and thus no need to remove the old...

Well, I've got a 106sv waiting on my pickup at Bass Pro. Also got a network cable so I can move the 93sv to the front and all my waypoints etc. will integrate between the two. I'll report back on...

Well this is encouraging. But at the same time baffling. Obviously I’m missing something or have a setting(s) screwed up. I have watched a number of Double T videos and have his spread sheets. I...

No worry about a hijack. Like you I’m hesitant to spend another $400 for the GT56 unless it’s a dramatic improvement. I think they’re about $420 on Bass Pro. I saw it listed at $385 on Amazon. As it...

Last year I bought a Garmin Echomap UHD 93SV which came with the GT54 transducer. I have been sorely disappointed in the sidescan. I've watched numerous YouTube tutorials for setup, including the...

Good info all! Thanks a bunch! Perch better look out!

Well I DO see that. Wondered about panfish of some sort or if they were gizzard shad. Speaking of which, I'm also trying to get with a cast net but as yet I've had no luck. Maybe I'm throwing at...

These make good catfish bait. I've stumbled across a few accidentally while fishing for panfish but never targeted them. I see people on YouTube targeting them and catching them with jigs. My...

Let me add my +1 on this. I've only been fishing these lakes a few years and that only a few times a year. So I can't add any local knowledge but I HAVE learned what hitting a stump, even under...

I was at Greenwood Monday dragging for catfish. Hoping for a big Flathead but it wasn't to be. I did get 6 Channel Cats, two around 4-4 1/2 pounds, the rest around 2 pounds, all released. Trying to...

I'm kinda thinking the full moon was a problem. I follow a few of the catfish YouTube "gurus" and they all mention a full moon negatively. And like others have said, most of my full moon trips...

So this year on my visits down to Santee, I've sort of concentrated on targeting catfish, specifically in and close to the canal in both lakes. Had some success with a few fish in the teens back in...

Yeah that helps a bunch. Coming from a world of down image only, seeing bottom 35' out is a huge leap forward.

I've read or seen others saying to level the transducer to the water. Never figured out exactly how, but instead, leveled with the bottom of the boat even knowing, the bottom doesn't sit flat and...

Wife: "Why do you have so many rods?"
Me: "Why do you have so many pairs of shoes?"
Wife: :bash

I saw where someone used a 2x4 screwed to the ceiling and using those screw in bike hooks from Lowes or Home Depot like these. It would require a lower ceiling, except for those who store the boat in...

Well I've already learned a bunch with the responses given. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH! What I've really learned, and my biggest mistake, I definitely need to get closer to the docks. I've been 15-20...

Well, after watching part one I see I definitely am not getting close enough to see underneath the docks with side scan. Man he gets right in there, even pulling into the slip. I'd half expect...

On my garage ceiling. Too high so I had to do a drop down. I'm 6'2" and can walk under it no problem and just reach the top rods fairly easily. I hate to leave mine in the boat, which is outside...

Makes sense. I'm definitely too far out and running the range at 60-70 ft so the pilings I see are getting close to the darker edges on the screen. That would make it near impossible to see fish...

Yeah that's the other issue, docks. Seems they like to hide in the shade but there's about a thousand docks so...which one? I've cruised past a number looking for brush but unlike when I was a kid,...

I know it's the tough time of year w/water temps 87 degrees but....
I'm running side scan on channel drop-offs, finding some brush though everything seems small. I really don't have a grasp of...

Wife doesn't eat it and won't allow it. That said, we really don't like frying anything "aromatic" indoors. Even bacon requires front and rear sliding doors to be open to create a breeze, even in...

Yeah, so have I. I've seen some serious sized center console, deep V boats running up towards Stumphole. There is one place up the river, before getting in the river proper, it gets extremely...
