settings for hbird 718/728 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ikrash · 07-24-2010, 01:18 AM

???

didn't state how many fish i have caught, nor did i allude to being in ANY way a master fisherman...i would say that is a bad interpretation of a pm asking for suggestions on settings for a ff

i understood your opinion on getting a 728 and also stated that i was genuinely thankful for such a speedy response (check your pm)..but no need to state over and over again that the 718 is trash...i apologize..not everybody's got cushy jobs (btw...you spoke of arrogance?)

...if you dont wanna share your settings..thats okey dokey...just say that they are private...

"finally" :

what would the logic be to upgrade my ff if i didnt think that seeing the fish was key? dont quote my words out of context as well as with the wrong intention...this isn't a war....i asked your opinion...appreciated it...and asked for your settings...responses that lack an answer to the question as well as insult are going to be met with "arrogance"

i DO NOT know as much as you do (as previously stated), but my opinion is that logically, you are incorrect.....i VERY WELL may be wrong (as previously stated), but i would like the best chance of seeing these fish, and (as previously stated) if i cannot i WILL upgrade to the 728 (your suggestion)

so just chill...it'll all be allright
what difference does it make

its not like there's fish in la jolla anyways....right?

also...

and this is just a question...so relax

wouldn't turbidity affect all units, regardless of power?

wouldn't it be the frequency that would allow you to see through the mess of salt/red tide/etc?

as well as...(again a question...again relax)

why would a fish appear as a grip of jigs when (i think) the beam reflected is off the top portion of the fish(?)..unless there was a lack of accuracy in the receiving portion of the transducer?

btw...i only troll (+-) 100 yards when im pretty much alone in the deep...so feel free to cut my lines if i cross you...i always feel like i need to get rid of 50 yards or so every so often (keeps it fresh...ya know?)

smile...it's sunny tomorrow...it'll all be alright

I am a novice at FF myself, but it seems to me that you are trying to compare apples to oranges. The return from a hard iron should be far stronger (darker) than the return from a soft fleshy bodied creature shouldn't it? Especially one like a WSB that has an unusually large (air filled) swim bladder.
