we got to manistee as the sun was coming up and headed down the river to the lake.new it must be a little bumpy when we passed a couple small boats going back to the dock.we headed straite out and set up in 200 fow in 2 to 4s,had fish on the first rod down before the third wad in the water on a double glow meat rig.that rig was hot for the first hour and a half as the waves built to 3 to 5s.we had about a hour with no hits and the waves droped back to 2 to 3 footers so we turned around and pulled the meat and switched to more spoons and finished our 3 man limit.all our fish came in 230 to 275 fow riggers 70 to 130 dwn did most of the damage with the 70 foot rigger with a mag green froggy standing out,3 and 5 color cores took a few to.the wires were about dead with 1 hit all day.we ended up with 13 kings a steelie and a ho in the box.we also threw back a hog lacker.waves were back to 3 to 5 for the run back.we did see another ocean pro at the docks,they only had one fish

great,i can see my cannon balls down past 120 ft and the screen stays clutter free even in the rough water now.i will have to take it partialy off again tho,airmar called and said they had a problem with the mount and they are sending me a repair kit to take care of the problem.i guess they are having a problem with the mount breaking and that big ole transducer doing damage to hulls and motors.

pulled the boat out of the water today to check the transducer bracket and sure enough i had a crack down one whole side of the bracket,so no more fishing till the replacement comes

I certainly hope you were able to fix the depth finder rigging. Sunday was nice, but caught only a couple. Both on meat rigs down 90' out of Arcadia. Nothing on spoons, dipsey, or wire. Basically had the area to myself. Fished Monday am out of Manistee for several hours. Caught two, one on a orange and white glow spoon down 60' in 160 fow and the other on a meat rig down 90 in the same area. Still not one hit on dipseys.
None of my fish had bait in them and did not mark much bait fish.

Jay thats a bummer about the Transducer. Glad that they are taking care of there faulty parts tho. That is a big transducer and I can def see it doing some damage to those hulls. Heck by the time this is all done youll be a pro at mounting transducers lol.
