Tips on jigs, bait and locations?

[SkunkedAgain]

Wow really strange the whirling guys haven't piped up, we know they love their flashers...  I've never been able to get good with the traditional flasher, I have a Marcum LX and I set it up with both a showdown trype flasher and then the graph, it gives you the best of both worlds, but without the graph it would only be part of the picture... I love the history to see how the fish has acted to your different attempts to entice it...  Some fish you can work on or ever and they'll only chase you up and down, others loose interest and leave, and then there are the fish like my last one that came in at 15' and seen my lure at 28' and dove straight down and smacked it...  I don't see that very often at all when they move down to hit, but it was sure fun...

I am with you Jeff, I love the graph vs. blips on a flasher for the chance to see what happened when I looked away, but those flasher boys catch a lot a fish, so you won't hear me talking smack about their choice of toys. Oh and about catching up at Hyrum, doubt it will happen as bad as we would love to fish with ya. Without sharing the gory details it has been a medical tornado  this winter at the C&CBP house.  I am just hopeful that we will have things tracking better for spring.

Hey Lance, sorry to hear about the tornado, darn it, but we'll find a time to do it sometime... Will be looking forward to it...  I also agree with you on not arguing with the flasher crew, they do do very well no doubts...  I also have to qualify that the graph is only as good as the time delay... I used to use my boat model Lowrance and it said real time, but it was actually just a tad slow, so I was always late with what I needed to try, plus the transducer pattern was fan rather than cone shaped so it let fish sneak up on you a lot more than an ice ducer will...  If you don't have the real time then the flasher will beat you everytime, but with the newer models with the real time display, then I think it becomes a preference deal... ford, chevy or dodge thing... Just my take on the units... Later Jeff
