Dana 6-2-2012 and Elite 4x review - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

T Bone · 06-02-2012, 05:44 PM

Launched about 5:30 and got some dines at the barge.went to the pipe but the bite was slow for me there.I picked up and fished outside the long wall where the fish were a little more cooperative.I managed to nail some decent bass with the biggest about a 16" calico,as well as a few keeper sandies.
The biggest change is the water temperature and with that the hali's moving in.I was reading 67+ degrees at 5:30am.It eventually read about 74 but with a shoot through transducer you know thats a little off.Dana was packed today with a boat show and way too many drag racing PWC jack asses.
I landed a keeper hali of about 25" but blew the opportunity for many more.I farmed a few and had several crushed baits.I had a double at the exact same time and that was the one keeper allthough the fish on the other rod was possibly bigger since it was pulling me sideways.oh well.Fillet shot shown so that you know I didnt waste a speck...

Elite 4X sonar: $169 at BPS.

2800 watts 1000' depth rating
3 times as powerful as my old X67
awesome FF for the dough.This one is sonar only.
