PING--Gene Kearns...GPS signal in your area
 
Sure, Chuck. It's sometimes hard to consistently find the same structure on
the Gulf floor even with differential and WAAS. Try to find the exact 15
foot wide piece of structure with 2 feet fo relief in 60 feet without GPS.
It ain't gonna happen.


All the fish are in a 15-foot area?

Al the time?

Seems unlikely, but then I don't fish in FLA.

Got a fish finder?

The bottom is almost completely flat. The bottom fish live in: 1) structure
(rocks, artificial reefs, etc), 2) under ledges, or 3) in little holes in
the limestone bottom. If you're not directly over one of these, you're not
catching fish.

Yes. But when seas are a 3 foot chop, it's not the easiest thing to detect
2 feet of relief. Each wave moves the transducer up and down more than that
amount.

I highly recommend filters.


I think you're right. I will give it them a shot also. I think it will be good
for my serenity not to see some of the bull**** that shows up here. Thanks.

I certainly hope you are well prepared to filter yourself out of here.
Look around you, John, you are one of the most prolific OT posters
here.
