new transducer with it ( as mine is knackered)

link it up to my allready fitted hds 5 sounder with one of them ethernet cable thingymabob's

move the other plotter out of the way on the dash to keep as a spare

and we're good to go....

will it catch more fish ? hmmmmm ..:rolleyes:
 
Nice one Rob, good bit of kit.
of course it'll catch ya more fish, just need to get out of bed early and head into the sun as she comes up...
uuummmmmm...close ya eyes and sit back while ya read this !! set the scene......

water like glass and throttles 80% open.....coffee..sarny...lads are talkin the 3 F's on the deck.....tyin up...cracks great..... a bit on Motown and Northern on, while ya lookin across those clocks at the temps and pressures
boat gently gliding and following the big dipper lazy swells, into the sun.....

plotters getting scanned on the way out, trying to change your mind as you look at it..shall we try here or shall we try there...or
....tempted to stop as your on a wreck a mile away and your screemin to get in the water...
na, straight past then onto your mark, then its a , "we should have had a couple of drops back there man....."

look at the deck, and you need Ray Bann shades on, EVERY fckin colour shad and sidewinder there is......, its like the kalaidescope of latex..................jiggers all trebled up, some with top hook on...strings of hokkais and daylights ready..squid in the bucket, slices of last years macky in the bucket, prawn packets open and at the ready...

boat still gliding through the gentle glassy swells, the wake lovely white and sharp..leaving ya trail for a mile or so........

are ya getting there ???

then your there, trottle off, henjin just ticking over... dead slow ahead, heading at crawlin speed into your mark to get her on the screen.......missed it..BASTA....back round...got it !!....enginge stop....a little back throttle, right on her...screemin RIGHT O LADS and down they go....clear water glttering with the fluro colours charging unto war....

first one down..bang...fish on, then the rest follow trying to get that lead down at fcukin deepdive speeds unknown to man...then they start .. ..
"whaddyagodonlike" ?.
smirkin.."muscles legs".....
fcukin cockeyed puzzled.."muscle legs??"........" wheredyagetthemlike"....."wotcolourlike"....

just pumpin the rod nice and canny,......smurkin.. " muscles legs........ dark red"......

Gutted....dut off... head in the hands, frantically goin through the fckin tea chest boat box of gear..."fcukavgotneedarkred"....... "adinnitbeleevit"................"lendsaonewillya"...........where duya get them again ??

fish is on the top, boats nearly capsizing everyone over to the side, just got the gaf and pushin through the crowd........got the swivel in the left hand gaf in the right and.................

AAAAhhhhh just woke up, lovely dream...........forecast rubbish for the weekend or what ??

Crikey Paul, sounds like you've just had a trip with us on Slinky :D :D
Right down to the throttle drop and nudge in reverse (or slam as my crew would say I do :) )
Spot on rendition of "how it is" on a perfect day ......
and yes we do that with setting the mark but glide past another thinking .... will I , won't I? ... :) :)

Great Read mate ... spot on ...

Loooadsa moneeeey!

Loooadsa moneeeey!

nice bit of kit m8 wer been looking for one combo ..but the going like toffee cakes on the bay :D

Believe it or not, a Garmin 160c sold recently on ebay for more than you can buy one for from an online dealer! The finder was new,but was still second hand
as far as warranty etc is concerned.The thing is you can sometimes get involved in the bidding frenzy that is synonomous with this site (been there,done it!) and common sense flies out the window.:confused::confused::confused:
