Since the pins on my HDS5 unit broke 6 months ago I was like a blind squirrel trying to find a nut. I did not know where the bait was, what depth water I was fishing, temperature etc.. I recently purchased another unit and OMG I could see again! Oh boy does it make all the difference in the world having a fish finder. HDS5=find fish drop on its head, bendo, gaff, peddle back, repeat.
With a goal of winning my own $5 bucks I set out to get a Fat Albert Avatar from Andy. I put a 12 hour session on the water but fell 1 short #3 who busted me off. I was on the water at 5:30am, first hookup 3:45pm, second fish 4:15pm, third hookup 4:30 dink bye bye, then got my butt beat by swells and whitecaps all the way back. Seabass are still gay though.
