Kerr, Martins, Garmin, & Fishing

 We headed to Kerr Lake for a few days on the Houseboat. The Martin's are busy in the apartment we put up for them! 

While fishing, I noticed the Garmin 7SV chart plotter was having trouble measuring depth in in shallows and while moving.  After a bit, it seems the low freq sonar in the transducer is bad. However, the high freq sonar is great, so I reprogrammed for that and all is well. 

Laura came up on 5/1 and fished with us a bit. Here's some pics and vids...



Trolling a bit near Bullocksville ramp...

Standard sonar mode seeing issues at top of screen, and not reading less than 10'.

Martins are busy in the apartment, making babies and catching bugs :-)

Lots of Martin's. They came back from 2024...


Super nice pontoon with a 400hp Merc!
