[Alphahawk]

Put the kayak in at Laurel Hill this a.m. and fished Galloway Hollow until the wind pushed me off the lake. Tried to get out of the hollow onto main body but just too much wind. The Gills have not moved in mass back to the beds as of today. I pulled 20 Gills and 3 shell cracker off of 8 beds I had marked. You pull up to a bed and it would only have a few fish on it...I would catch those and move on. In the si pic you can see where I circled a bed that has a lot of nests but only a few fish...the bright dots. The Gills were all at the 8 inch mark or so and the shell crackers were all 11 inches. It is very difficult to get a good pic on the Hawg Trough with the sonar in my face and the rod pod taking up so much space in the BG Prowler II. I have been told by folks that have used the side imaging at night that if you think it is good in the daytime that I should see the screen at night. I don't fish at night anymore but maybe Merv or someone else can elaborate on using si at night. While the rod pod is a great platform for the sonar you give up a lot of open space in the cockpit. Still it was a fun morning...those red ears fought hard. If the weather holds I am headed to Pickwick in the morning to try and get some largemouth while they have the gates open. Life is good!
