That's something I was wondering with the Deeper, what determines the fish size when you can use Small Medium Large fish icon... For all I know a Large fish could be a Perch 😂😂

I'd spool it onto the spare spool, then do half back onto the original spool, then look at the washer issue again.

I try to use as much as I can with mine, then when I've found my spots, I use my bare lead to feel the bottom... Wide beam for area, Low beam for in depth look, then a bare lead over it.

The other lake I fish is completely the opposite, no weed but has 1/2 structures. This picture is of my Club water, the little mound in the middle (to me) is a concrete lump lowered into the water which has chains attached to under the Aerator and I'd say greenery had grown over it, this is the only thing I can think of as when I was using it at this moment I was doing circles around the Aerator. Everywhere else on the side of the lake I was fishing is like a continuous flat bed with hardly and greenery or bumps/holes. It will be good to see what I find coming into the summer months.

A CHIRP (Compressed High Intensity Radiated Pulse) sonar sends out a continuous flow of frequencies, ranging from low to high. Here is the range of frequencies that the Deeper CHIRP emits, depending on the Beam setting: High CHIRP beam (7°): 635 kHz - 715 kHz Mid CHIRP beam (16°): 270 kHz - 310 kHz Low CHIRP beam (47°): 90 kHz - 115 kHz Most sonars can control the range of the sound wave cone by changing the scanning beam frequency. This is important because in different fishing situations different scanning beams will be more or less effective. Wide beam scanning (Deeper PRO/PRO+ 55° angle; Deeper CHIRP 47° angle) is good for quickly scanning large areas and getting overall information on fish, depth and bottom structure, but the accuracy and detail will be lower. Wide beams are also great for quickly locating fishes. Wide beam scanning is best suited for shallower waters because the cone covers a wider area, the deeper it scans. This means if you are scanning at a depth of 45ft / 13,7 m you will see objects in an area that has a 47ft / 14,3 m diameter. Narrow beam scanning (Deeper PRO/PRO+ 15° angle; Deeper CHIRP 7° and 16° angle) gives a more precise picture of the bottom structure, fishes and their size, but covers a smaller area. It is better for finding the exact location of fish, as well as the information about the bottom (structure, bottom thickness, vegetation). Narrow beam scanning is also better suited for deeper water, as the cone does not spread as wide. Recommendation: When using Narrow beams in deep waters, it is important that the Deeper sonar ball is stable in the water, and does not rock around. If the sonar itself is not stable, the quality of the sonar image will be affected. If the waves are rough, it is better to use a Wide beam. https://deepersonar.com/us/en_us/manual/settings

That what it did to me, had to try and find some clear (ish) spots for the pop ups...

No zigs allowed on here.

Ended in a Blank...

The Brown are humps I can feel when I was dragging back to feel about, the green is the roots coming through.... Looks bad but its not as bad as I thought, but I'm not fishing in it, I'm fishing before/off em.

It's in between EVERY peg (lilly roots), there's nothing in front of pegs. Or even in the middle, I think when full summer comes it will look quite nice... Like a row of lilly beds inbetween each peg. Else where isn't so bad really, I've found 2 clear (ish) spots, 1 in middle and 1 about 2 rod lengths out.

I had a good night sleep, apart from the lost 1 yesterday, not a bleep during night. Mat has had 2 mirrors, both about 7lb, also lost 1.... This is what the bottom looks like, luckily not been snagged yet.

I've just Google mapped the new place I'm fishing Both have about same stamp of fish, 1 is slightly deeper than the other.... I'll have the deeper out on both to see what's what on each.... I've got my gate key and card this morning.... I've phoned the owner and there's only about 20 members on this place... Mainly match guys and about 5 carers.... Mate has been wanting to fish this place since he was a kid.... Been about 20yrs that too...

It's Friday night now....

I'm out Saturday and this is a 50/60 Yr old pond/lake.... I think there's some wary wild old carp in here and will be on the naturals bait.... Corn, Hemp, Maize, Tigers.... Will try some crumbed up Manilla also.

I'm looking at the Nutty Maple Cream in 13mm 😊😊

I'm gonna look see if they have something Nutty (ish)... In a White.

Joblot on the Bay?...

Woooooow, thought I was bad.... I'm out on Friday, with the last of my Krill, Snowamn pop up on 1, Krill Active Wafter on other.... 1 boat hopper full of pimped bait around each rod 😉

Off topic now........ Was there a member Nige Woodcock on here?... He's in the latest Nash Video (family holiday)

I've just fou d an old picture from here.... Some Propper Job pop ups given to me back then.... Think the shelf fell down in shed and most were eaten by rodents.

I've been looking at Proper Jobs lately, seen a vid online (Carpy Chris).... They were bolt upright still after a week, still pastel colours, but I think flavour lost.

This is what I have done, I've got about 200mtrs on each spool, and I've backed em up with an old spool of Daiwa Sensor (clear) so I know I'm upto the right spot. I was getting the same, all piling up at the top or either bottom, solved by adjusting the washers inside the reel, either add 1 or takeaway... I used another reel to wind off, the rewon it back onto the original spool... Presto.... On the 2nd picture it has slightly done it, but has worked off over time. Spare spools...

That's the thing with mine, no middle hopper, just the flipper.... Does the same job I suppose, also for pulling along the Deeper. I've got a tub of 2 & 4mm pellets, these will be my mesh ball bags, then I've got about 25kg of Aller Aqua 8mm pellets to go with the Manilla n Particles from May.

Think in a way mine, give more attraction, but well see Friday.... Going all Krill to use up my last bucket of it... About 2kg.

This is ACTUAL Sticky ACTIVE Baits.... Left - Manilla Hard one, Middle - Manilla Wafter, Right - Krill Wafter My attempt with Standard Boilies in matching Glug, topped with Matching Active Mix. Krill on left, Manilla on Right.
