3/7/2015 7:15:00 AMI was at the racetrack yesterday too. We also only caught 1 shaker blackmouth and 2 flounders trolling 90-100 fow within 10-15 ft from bottom. I was marking suspended fish throughout the day around 50ft deep... I think next time Ill try running 1 downrigger deep and chase marks with the other one.. I think the early outgoing tide isnt helping either.

3/7/2015 8:34:00 AMThanks for the tips. One of the biggest challenges I have is that I have a Lowrance Elite 5 DSI Fishfinder(?) Great maps charts etc. But I cannot get it to mark fish. Seem to be able to see baitfish fine but anything bigger just isnt there. Blank screen. No arches, no dots no nothin! Have pounded the internet looking for a solution but so far coming up empty. Anybody know about this model?

3/7/2015 11:58:00 AMRacetrack is a bar that runs from north Hat Island to Camano Head. On top of the bar it is 90 foot but falls off on each side to 300-400. Fish around the 90 foot top or a little on each side. Elger Bay is a Bay around the corner and north of Camano Head about 4-5 miles. Troll kind of an "L" pattern east in the bay and then back and to the north past Camano Park and launch. I used to slay 'em at both places but kinda slow these days. Just don't seem to hang out in 8-2 like they used to. I keep an eye on the on line fishchecker reports for Everett and Camano Park launch but not much action this winter.
