Pimp my ride
« on: Dec 30, 2010, 04:06 PM »
I've been loving the new sled! It's made thing so much easier setting up and tearing down, or when I just want to go light. Now that I've been fishing the coves on the Ct River every day, I've been spending a lot of time jigging crappie. They've been pretty thick on the log cribs and brush piles. Once you find them, you are usually pretty busy. I was never happy with my hand held GPS. It had way too much lag time and didn't zoom in far enough whichmade it impossible to get right on the tructure you were looking for. Well... I fixed that...

I took my Humminbird 1197  and mounted it to the sled. I bought an extra set of cables and transducer along with a ram mount. It has made things so much easier to locate the cribs ad brush piles. The GPS is dead nuts on and I've found some smaller piles by sticking the side imaging transducer in the hole and rotating it slowly. The 1197 made all the difference today... I jigged for a few hours andhammered the crappie, bluegill and sunnies. I had so much fun, I'll be back out tonight after 6.

It's a shrine to simplicity and utter overkill all in one.

Nah... I carry the unit in foam lined Plano box and rig the sled once I'm on the ice.  :)
