General Fishing Tips / looking for advise, fishfinder transducer
« on: September 14, 2008, 11:17:46 PM »
I am rigging my SOT for fishing and need some advise on a fishfinder. Most I have seen include a transducer but they are meant to be installed on a transom. I have seen the videos that describe mounting the transducer on the inside of the hull. Do I need to buy a separate transducer or is there a specific FF I need. Any advise would be welcome.

Kayak Diving and Spearfishing / Labor Day weekend at Ocean Cove
« on: September 03, 2008, 10:01:07 AM »
Went up Thursday afternoon with DiverDoug and DiverDanno, beautiful day, and selected a campsite. Didn't seem necessary then but we took one that was wind protected. By Sunday we were glad we did.
Ocean Conditions on Friday were not too bad. A 6' swell from NNW but no wind and a glassy surface. We Paddled out of Ocean Cove and the water was Pea Soup green until we cleared the first wash rock. The vis then opened up to about 5', best we would see all day.
We headed north and paddled about 3/4 mile. Very, very thick kelp everywhere near shore, extending to 50 FOW.
Found some mangeable holes in the kelp but with the swell and surge had to be very careful not to get wrapped. At least you could see light at the surface and aim for the holes when you made your ascent.
Tough limit in about 20 FOW. Saw a very large fish when entering the water, but didn't have my speargun yet. No other fish were seen.
Ended up going back out and jigging the bottom south of Ocean Cove that afternoon, caught a couple of rocks and an undersized Ling. Tough conditions on the ocean but nothing but sunshine on shore.
By 10:00 Saturday morning the swell and wind had picked up. We decided to drink beer and tell lies instead of diving.
The Sac Dolphin Divers had a meet scheduled for Sunday but cancelled due to the sea conditions. Left Sunday at noon. Unfortunately came across a bad motorcycle wreck south of Ft Ross. Too much speed on the hairpins.
