Last piece of the puzzle.
 

Received my HD transducer from Humminbird today. Great turn around with them. Sent mine to them Monday and received the new one today. I will be going to HOOK1 this week to see how they propose to mount this transducer. This thing is a beast. The screen on the unit is 7 inches....that transducer is just big....LOL. Glad I have HOOK1 to help me out.

Your gonna be so spoiled now. :D

Congrats on the new depthfinder.

Thanks Travis. Took me a year to save for it and make up my mind which one to get. It comes with the compact si transducer but I wanted the HD one. So I paid 85 bucks to swap out at Humminbird. I don't know how this is going to work out but I know Chad at HOOK1 knows his stuff but the only si transducers I can find mounted on kayaks doing a google search is the compact ones. Well time will tell.

This year my wife is getting lasik and next year will be my turn but I have been thinking a lot about those big side scan depthfinders...:D

I will use it for a lot of different situations but I wanted it to find deep water Gill beds and Gills. Laurel Hill is 300 plus acres and when the fish go deep you can catch them but you have to find them. This will be a game changer for me....especially in the summer. Will also use it for same on Center Hill or any lake I am on.

And will be a game changer for me when I am paddling right behind you :D

Anytime Mike.....they can't hide now....LOL.

Now it's going to be even more frustrating when we can't get a bite...LOL

Headed to HOOK1 in the a.m. to see the guys there and have them figure out where to put this unit on my kayak. Pretty excited to start using it.

Yea because we can no longer use the excuse "there were just no fish around today" haha.

There is nothing more frustrating like seeing fish on your sonar and not being able to get them to bite. We ran into that yesterday crappie fishing, we caught about 40 off the spot Saturday and could not get a bite Sunday despite seeing fish on the sonar over and in the brush. The water temp up around Jefferson springs is at 49 degrees. People were catching crappie in 4' of water.

Yeah that is frustrating. HOOK1 is installing it right now and I should pick it up tomorrow.

Congrats Alphahawk. You'll have to take pictures of the screen on the water and post them up so we can all see what we are missing.

Thanks Jeremy.

Finished product.
 

The guys at HOOK1 had my kayak ready today. They do great work. While I was at HOOK1 today a man walked in. I looked at him and said "Don't I know you". He replied yes you do. As soon as he spoke I knew who he was. It was the QAQC guy that was with me in Saudi in the 90's through 2001. It was good to see him. He is 77 and kayaks regularly....no fishing though just kayaks. It really is a small world.
