Thanks....right now it is just an inconvenience. But I want my unit to be 100%. I have been on a quest the past two weeks to see if bluegill do spawn all though summer close and around the full moon as many, many so called experts say. What I can tell you is that I have been burning up the highways fishing lakes and only going from bed to bed to see if the Gills show back up. As of today on Center Hill...Laurel Hill.....VFW....and the Williamsport Lakes they are most assuredly not on bed. I checked out 25 beds today on Center Hill with the side imaging....no fish on any of them. I would make some casts but these units don't lie. Many of the beds are deep water beds....9-10 feet. I finally pulled up into an unused boat slip at a marina and the sonar lit up like a Christmas tree!. I should have taken a pic of it but did not. I had perfect arches on 2d....fish all over si and di. I vertical jigged and caught a couple of good Gills but went on with my search. I will continue my quest tomorrow as am going to Laurel Hill to search all the beds again. I will probably check out 20 or so beds there. It is a lot of work doing this in a kayak. I'm just wanting to find out just how often Gills bed in the waters I fish. I suspect some Gills do bed through summer but the big deal is a one time affair in the early spring. One thing is sure...next spring I am going to kill the big shell crackers on Center Hill....LOL. I got 33 of them late May. Life is good!


Regards
