Re: US Open 2011

Great job to all involved in this tournament. Kudos go to all the anglers who fished it as well.
"The US Open" and yet, very skimpy media attention on a national level. Why?
It'll be interesting to learn about the techniques and baits used during the derby. :shock:

Re: US Open 2011

Lots of them. It's best to check the WON Bass website for the live blog they have going. There is a lot of movement and early reports of varied techniques used to catch them today.

Joe Jr. weighed in around 4lbs. Although not enough to win, the kid can flat out fish! Nice work Joe Jr.!

Re: US Open 2011

This is it! It's going to be a close finish and the weights are impressive for "Mead!"
Not much controversy this year. Good.
I'd also like to see Joe Jr. get the win.

BTW: I hope they keep the US Open at Lake Mead!

Re: HDS5 Depth?

UPDATE: As you know I've been struggling with getting a proper "read" of depth on my HDS5/ LSS-1 hardware. Well, I did end up taking my boat back to the dealer and they solved the problem. I am now enjoying the unit with the Structure Scan and it's working. I learned they had to move the t...

Hey Ken, I recently purchased both the HDS5 for the console and HDS8 for the bow with Structure Scan. I have tried to dial in both units and encountered a problem with the HDS5 with respect to reading accurately the depth I'm in when traveling above idle speed. I don't need to tell you how important...
