Fish finder help

[tsugg]

I will be at the harbor as we'll I would love to meet and put faces with names. Tomorrow is the maiden voyage for the dragonfly. And my wife is coming along in her outback(tan) I'll be the old fart in the olive PA. IM PLANNING ON FISHING INSIDE the harbor mañana. But I would love to plan a trip out to the reef with you sometime.

Kayak is still not ready for its first voyage.
I do appreciate the invite TSUGG, but I got 2 kids and no life vest?!
Missing out on an epic bite, but safety comes first.
I still have not purchased fish finder, bait tank or a few other items that would be needed.
Can't freakin wait to get out there though.
My buddy Bwana has been helping me out big time putting my kayak all together.
Thanks dude and thanks everybody for the help.
Ballast Point 6 packs of Scullpin are on sale at Sprouts for 10 bucks each...awesome!

Well I went out at oside harbor sunday as planned to learn how the dragonfly works. As usual(for me) no love from the good but fish lots of macs and pesky lizard fish. The dragonfly is the bomb! coming from a elite 4 dsi, I couldn't go 10 feet and the FF showed structure with fish(not biting fish,lol). I was off the pier in 40' of water playing with it and I found I could drop a 4" z-man down next to the yak and I could watch it all the way down to the bottom then jig it up and down and watch the action from above. So I sure can see everything down below now but I've got to do something tp change my luck out there. Not bringing dinner home is getting old. Still, I could have called in sick and gone back out on monday but I didn't. I love it out there !! I haven't been on a lake( where I know how to bring home dinner) in months.LOL. Saw a pod of porpoise out there, really awsome!.
So the dragonfly works fantastic, I'm completely happy with it.

You can make out the 6 individual sabiki hooks and the weight down to 40', maybe deeper, pretty nice. But I've found that the beam is quite narrow at that shallow. My ducer is mounted near the rear scupper so if I drop in front I can't see it. Compared to my old X-4 Pro though it's amazing.

Looked online at the West Marine deal, it does not include the transducer.
