10/28/2013 6:52:00 AMNice catch Alan! We endured the foggy ride as well, and like you said, it was that way almost to Fort Spokane. We drove out of it on the way down to Hume Road where we turn off for Seven Bays. The bite Saturday afternoon was frantic, the weather and scenery fantastic, and company superb. I'm taking a fishing buddy up Wednesday for another round of catching.

Man was it pretty down there after the sun came out; what a time to be on the water with friends. The only negative was my transducer died and so the sonar quit working. On second thought how could anything be negative on a beautiful, fish catching day like that?
PS Ordered an Airmar P66 for my HDS7 Lowrance. Should have it installed before next weekend.

You'll be happy with the P66 Alan, very nice 'ducers!!

I use my sonar to find contours, points and structure too. I'm also looking at the suspended fish but they are not usually the ones biting. I find three colors leaded line works great and 25' on the downrigger. Sometimes longer set-backs on the dr are in order if you are fishing in the top 20' or less.
