Thread: Sounder Reading

  1. #436

    Re: Sounder Reading

    This is a reading of a little bommie we came across off Burrum. It was loaded with Tea-Leaf Trevally, Nannygai and Squire as well as a couple of unstoppables. I think it is reefy coral as the bottom doesn't seem to be too much harder than the surrounding area. We marked a lot of bait schools in the general vicinty as well and caught fish a fair way from any structure.

    Cheers benny

    Wahoo mate did you know that if I right click on your pic and then click properties it gives the coordinates of that sounder pic.....

    Was out Saturday also and got squat so I know that spot is nowhere near where I was, that pic is interesting I would probably zoom right over the top of it and keep going. Would need to stumble across it on a drift or slow sound around.

    Oh and BTW that sounder is doing a fantastic job.
    Well done and was it shady

    cheers fnq

    Where are you fishing for that depth of water to be pulling reds and big mouth?

    I usually fish 60m to get stuff like that.

    We went OK fish wise,Daz..got 17 or 18 fish, no standouts and only blacks no silvers or reds,though(like usual)..the deckie was happy with his share but it was a frustrating day due to the big tides and I couldnt try fishing the deeper water...though as Pazz mentioned ....I've not encountered large mouths in 30 meters before either...

    Also I get sounder pictures like the post above your original one...with the fish as blobs not a series of horrizontal lines like that...what settings are you using???

    I bet you it was strange, i've never heard of that.

    I thought they would have dropped off a bit with the increase in water temp. What did you end up with?

    Don't suppose you want to share any of those marks? Ha

    I fish that depth for my trout, and we've been getting pretty close to the bag limit on the last few trips, but sharks have been giving us a touch up.

    Pazz, 7 reds over the 10kg, not quite bagged out with the silvers with 4 of us on board, 3 very large cat fish ( placed back), biggest bull ray i have ever seen, had to cut the line for him, and on another spot close by, nothing but blacks (small mouth)
    thrown all back and moved, few sharks hung around but not one bite off

    Yes, definately makes it sound too easy.

    I'd much rather go out in 30 metres of water and pull reds and big mouth, then pull them out of 67m with 3 droppers on it to just get to the bottom.

    I am very envious.

    Mate of my brothers went out on wednesday night and they only got 5. They went around pixie too.
