HDS
5th Review
I am
satisfied with the broadband sonar in the HDS. I have noticed the bottom
hardness on transitions is a little easier to see. I don’t fish deep so I won’t
see the benefits as much as a deep water angler. I capture screen shots and I
like the option of transferring multiple picture files with one button to push.
I prefer the menus to the LCX even though I get confused as I have a HDS 8 and a
LCX 38 so it is like speaking 2 languages the same day. I haven’t been fishing
much as I will move to Albert Lea, MN because my wife got a new job.
I
learned a new advantage of the Broadband Sonar in the HDS at the Winnebago
tournament. I can see fish at 35 mph. I previously had trouble seeing fish over
25 mph with the LCX models. I use the blue background so the blue noise blends
into the background and I adjust the Colorline up to get a clear picture. The
2nd screen capture is white background while I trolled over the
fish.
DrDepth BT (bottom
hardness) Edition (2nd review)
DrDepth BT
Edition has a new update that creates bottom hardness with Lowrance low quality
recordings and now works with the HDS models. For the HDS you must select over
800 bytes per sounding in the log chart feature choices. For the LCX/LMS use the
slider bar at the mid range. I recommend recording charts at high quality
(default setting) because the memory cards are much larger today and the video
playback is clearer when you replay the charts.

Doc’s
Tournament schedule
AIM Pro
Walleye Series Akaska and Winnibigoshish
Winnebago
FLW
Fishing was
tough with walleyes found in weeds, rocks and trolling the mud basin. I didn’t
trust any of the patterns and the tournament went badly.
Doc’s
Tournament Crankbait Contest
I caught a
few walleyes on crankbaits but no clear winner with all my selections. However
the Salmo Sting won the bass contest catching all the bass of course it doesn’t
count in a walleye tournament.. A shadrap tangled with a 6 foot sturgeon that
jumped and threw the hook. I probably snagged it.
Educational Guide
Trips
We spent
most of the time teaching boat control, sonar and presentations for walleye but
stopped for a few fish. I lost the buck on the first fish notice the happy
customer!
