Here is how it went: Got to La Jolla at 5:30 am Saturday morning. The waves were tiny. I decided to mount the fish finder and hook it up on the beach. Just for good measure I put a zip lock bag over the unit and fastened with two rubber bands around the RAM mount to protect against excessing splashing. The launch was as easy as could be. Took the plastic bag off once I was 100 yards out. The fish finder ( a Lowrance elite 4x HDI) was easy to use and added a whole new dimension to my fishing experience. Even so, I got skunked! Making bait was not easy on Saturday -- kept landing Bonitas. Got a few Spanish mackerel and trolled around all day -- nada. The landing was easy though. No waves to speak of. If the waves are bigger next time, I will go with the unit in the dry bag and them mount and connect once beyond the breakers.
