I bought one this year. have been using it so far this year to get the hang of it. I had to finally switch back to my LX-3. I am panfishing and I can't see my jig consistently. I am using small size 12 jigs with 2 or 3 maggots for gills and crappie. I have tried to set my sensitivity up and that gives me more clutter. then I set my noise reduction up higher then my jig dissappears. I have tried turning the gain down and noise down and all sorts of combinations. Have tried ice mode thinking the display would be more fluent. That didn't work either. Is it my transducer or another problem or are they just not as good as other traditonal flashers? I only need my Lx-3 at 1/12 or so to see my jig whether its moving or not. My VPG doesn't see the jig all the time. I either have to sit it still then when I move it it's gone, or I have to move it a bit to see it..............HELP!. i WANT to know if that's the way it is or if anyone has had this problem that can be fixed.............
Got the property surveyed today. Originally plotted back in 1968 and sure enough there where metal pipes marking 3 of the corners but who knows how long it would have taken me to find them. They placed a monument on the missing corner. Hopefully this warm weather sticks around, need to remove some trees and get the wheel house moved in. Thanks everyone for your responses!
Drove around the entire lake today. From the road it looks like the warm weather has melted most of the snow. Only saw about a half dozen people fishing. Ice isn’t pulling away from shore yet. Stopped at the Borden access and walked out a bit, kicked myself for not bringing the fishing equipment, easy travel out there.
