    Decided to try snapper fishing Saturday night got out about 7 right before getting to the wreck transducer gave out no bottom finder but GPS still worked and we anchored up before it got dark caught two small kingfish and a nurse shark after Dark bite with slow for the first hour then the red snapper moved in caught a dozen of those went home with no bottom finder hard to tell what's down there.

    From the readings, you did better WITHOUT bottom than those who could see it. Congrats.

    Nice job without a bottom machine for sure. What area did you go out of Ponce? About how many miles out if you dont mind me asking?

    Thanks for the report. Sounds like you did better out of Canaveral than we did out of Ponce.

    What size boat, what type of electronics?

    you may want to show off your boat here.

    I put three Transducers on my Vessel, all display on screen at the same time. but if one acts up, you always have a backup.

    Nice catch, most folks would have probably headed to the house when the bottom machine quit working.
