I think you nailed it. It is precisely for accuracy. I ck it against my fishfinder to target right where I like to be. Early last year while placing my line in the release, Mr. Koke decided to yank the line out of my hand. (X2) Now that's fun. I would set my depth for either 3' or 5' and had a lot of fun... years ago on LP, I had a side finder transducer that was telling me I was surrounded by fish. I brought up my line depth and it was game on. I decided to stand on top of my motor, and with a good pair of uv glasses I could see i was surrounded by Kokanee. (sounds like a fish story huh,? :) ) They could have cared less about my motor. I'ts common to see Kokanee hitting the surface in large schools, especially on LP. I have not seen that as much at AR.
I did hear a guy say he had one at and was down at 30'.. another at 40.. I also noticed the fish were not as big. I did see a few schools in the 30-37' range. I do not try for those until we get an established thermocline. That 55deg water is always good it seems. However, this time of year and I am measuring the first foot of water, (low draft and tranducer placement) I could only find 48.5 deg water yesterday on AR. Not sure why my photos refuse to attach. They used to??? Oh well, so much for sharing my spoils.. .. Good luck to you, Jt I like to avoid using D/R's however, when I do, then I Shuttle Hawk it all the way... wooohoooo...
