Saw the wonders of a high-end transducer in action yesterday. Spring fishing was slow so I decided to go chase herring. It was high-noon, the sun was a-blazing, so they were deep. I found a school in about 70 M of water. So I drop my jig down and surprise---I see a very clear image of my 2 oz. piece of lead tied to the end of my jigs drop down through the water column. Crystal clear picture---thin blue line dropping all the way down into the red blob a the bottom of he screen.
As soon as the blue line disappeared into the blob, I immediately felt the jig load up. I reel back up through the column-- again the thin blue line.
When the jig broke the surface, a nice green label herring on every hook. One more drop and I have a full tray.
I figure at $ 6.00 a tray, I have 165 trays left to catch to amortize that 'ducer. Going to be a long summer trying
