Yes my Humminbird has GPS and dual range sonar. It is pretty cool & I have been fishing for a long time & never had one before. My kids got it for a Xmas present for me. I used to fish almost exclusively at Angola back in the days there were Blue Pike !

I just got the 798si this spring. The gps rocks. I love the side imaging it really gives you a new perspective underwater.

ok you veteran walleye trollers i need your help,

i was out today from 8am - 2pm before it got to rough - i was trolling for the very first time - that is! with more knowledge than in the past. i was in 40fow near seneca schoal, i boxed one 20" on a dispy diver #0 & worm harness copper/orange and lost one at the boat on a dispy diver #0 on a deep diving rapala. the one i landed, i didn't know i had it on and was going to change over my lure, the one i lost i knew i had on cause i heard my drag.

my issue and your help - How can you tell you have a fish on? should i loosen-up my drag so I can hear it scream or is it a better way?

the rods i was using was 8' 6" med. light 10-17 lb. braided (i couldn't tell i had a fish on); my other rod was a 6'6" med. action 6-12 lb. flour. carbon

i learned alot today but need some pointers - i've heard you nguys talk about loosing them at the boat - THAT SUCKS!! is there also a way to cut down on that as well?

Please & Thank-You

Time and practice learn your rods the action the feel those buggers will ride for hours ha ha. If i even think i may have one i didn't notice hit i'll lift rod to feel how dipsy acts. Maybe go smaller on size of dypsy or back pff tension on release a little to. I use stiffer rods but may lighten up myself but i know these ones now. You'll get it. Its even more fun on rougher days lol.

Wishin. try backing your drag off, set them just heavy enough to hold your equip. from pulling drag also leave the clicker on until you fight a fish. As far as loosing them at the boat thats where most are lost. I beleive the proper way to bring a fish in is that you (we) are suppose to back the drag off the closer the fish gets but most don't! Instead we winch them in. Just my 2 cents.

Yes, Start by loosening your drags but not so much they walk out while trolling. Also your starting too deep for this time of year work the Windmills, Seneca Shoal, and Meyers Reef, 32-38 ft range but a lil closer to 32 ft than the 38 ft mark. I pesonally do not run braid at all, I just don't like it, but thats just my personal preferences. I run Mono, Lead Core, and 19 strand Torpedo wire when I happen to use dipseys( which isnt very often). We ended up with 9 Walleyes on Sunday our program was excatly this: 30 Jets on 15# Mono 125 back, 800 series (deep diving) Reef Runners on the color Gator Bait 125 back on 15# Mono, Shark Torpedo Divers (4oz) 65 & 75 ft back on 15# Mono, and 5 Color Lead Core.The Torpedos, Lead Core, and 30 Jets were all run with Harnesses, and on the cranks we tip 1 of the front hooks with a 1" piece of worm just for a lil scent. We trolled between 1.7-1.8 mph on the gps. If you have any more questions just ask.
