Howdy, I am the one who sold you the unit. I just came across this thread. I do believe you have the transducer installed too high, but you should still be getting some kind of bottom reading and you shouldn't be getting any vertical lines. It had been a while since I used that unit, and I tested it before I shipped it, but I wonder if the transducer is bad. Let me do some research and I may need to switch out the transducer for you. If you will have some patience I will make it right, which I know is a lot to ask - when you buy something it should work. I hate that it isn't working right for you.

A little late, but I live in Terre Haute although fairly new to the area. Waveland is supposed to be one of the best lakes for bass in the state, it is small but everyone seems to have luck there. I have been there a couple of times, and did ok. Racoon can be ok, this is supposed to be the place for striped bass in IN - about the top ten stripers in the state have been caught here. Cataract is ok(very good crappie fishing). I have had some luck at Mill creek in IL, and West Boggs lake further south. That's about all the places I have been since I've lived here. I have heard Geist and brookville are pretty good, brookville is supposed to have smallies, but I've not been to either. They say that Patoka can be decent, not been there either. Most people around here will tell you the best fishing is in the small private pits around here. If you have a small john boat or something you really should go down to Greene-Sullivan sometime, there are about 150 reclaimed strip pits that have a little of everything in them.

Hi guys, haven't been around here much lately. Anytime Trophy Country comes up I have to chime in. Ghoti convinced me to join him there one day and I tell you it was great. And I guess it was a slow day for there. I plan to get back there hopefully around the end of the month or maybe in September.

I live in Terre Haute, I haven't been on here in a while. I haven't got to fish much around here lately. probably not too bad since it has been so hot. I've been to Waveland once this year, Cataract several times, and Mill Creek (in IL) a few times. I want to try to make it down to the pits at Green-sullivan sometime.

Wow, I haven't been on here in a while - good to see you all giving each other heck! I think doing a Wed - Mon trip is great! I hope I can make it, had a great time at KY Lake the couple of days I was able to go.

I live in Terre Haute!

Same here if you guys want to hit it sometime let me know.

I live over here in Terre Haute. Everyone says that Newton is great, haven't been there yet though. Thought I would try it this winter also.

Nice fish and nice post. Sounds like a great birthday to me! You deserve it.

ebay?

Good post and great pics!

Holy Moly!

Been wanting to get down there myself. Maybe I will get down before it's too cold.

Those are nice!

As some of you know, I have been fishing the same little pond close to where I work about twice a week. There is a great amount of brush all over the bottom, and I have lost several lures over the last month. Yesterday I got all snagged up in some line from a lure I had previously lost. I got my jig untangled from the line, and I thought "I wonder if I can get whatever lure back that is on the end of this? I messed with it a while, then it started pulling back! I pulled it in hand over hand, and there was about a 13" bass on the end, and a $5 jig I had lost a couple of weeks ago. The bass didn't look like he had been hooked very long, maybe even bit it while I was messing with it, but the hook was run all the way through his cheek. I'm sure this is not the only time this has ever happened, but a first for me.
