Any one own the marcum LX-5???

I just got mine in the mail was reading instructions (which I'm sure will be clear once I get it on the ice).Anyway, I didn't know the transducer would read through the ice. How well does it work? Will it just give you depth or will it read fish as well. I also need ice in a bad way.. Hope it gets cold soon.

as long as you have clear ice and a little water to pour on the ice it works excellent. it will read the depth , show the fish, and tell you wether you have a hard or soft  bottom  ...once the ice gets too thick or has lots of bubbles in it you will not get a good reading

I use mine like that first ice works good and you don't get the line wrapped around the transducer.

how much was it?

[rodrunner]

It was 479.00.. If we dont have good ice this winter my wife is really going to be pissed.. Kind of like the time I bought my 1100.00 243with scope and then blew out my ankle and couldn't hunt that year.. I did a lot of rubbing my gun that year!!

Hey rodrunner
I just heard a story about a Swarovski optics purchase that cost you a saddle to override?

[rodrunner]

  there might be a little truth to that story..They were not something I wanted..I really REALLY needed them.

I Really NEED a ice auger
I Really NEED a shanty
I Really NEED a 4 wheeler

You can build a shanty for pretty cheap.I have great design I can draw you up some plans if you want.Its a little heavy but fishes two nicely. I also know a great deal on a 2005 polaris sportman 600 with less than 300 miles on it. Your on your own with the auger. I'm right in the middle of negotiations for my own auger that I NEED!!!!!

Later man
