Pat even your not great day is better than my good days. But I'm hoping once I get my new boat registered I can have a chance to get a few. I just have to do it without a trolling motor or a fish finder so I won't know depths. But you give me hope that they are there still to be caught.

If you can get by without GPS, down-imaging, side scan and speed indicators I have an almost new still-working basic sonar system I would be glad to donate.  It is a Humminbird 565.  It is black and white but does a pretty good job of showing depth, bottom composition, temperatures, etc.  It came off TubeBabe's tube when health conditions ended her tubing career.  Here is a link to the manual  HUMMINBIRD 565 

And, if you wanna make it completely portable, I have an extra 7ah battery and charger to throw in.  You will need to figure out how to mount it to your boat...or I can help you PVC rig it for temporary or hand-held.

I agree with TinCan.  Sonar is invaluable on Utah Lake...even in high water conditions.  Yes, there is the safety factor.  But there are also days when the fish show a definite preference for specific depths or temperatures.  Being able to find the right conditions can save you a lot of fishless fishing.
