SURVEYING A LAKE

The most successful

anglers

any

body

of water are those who fish

day

after

day

and

year

after

year. Eventually, they

learn the hot

spots

that

produce

fish

consistently.

They

discover

through experience

where,

and at what

depth,

they

can

expect

to find the fish

they

want at

any

season. And

they

realize that

these

productive

areas

change

throughout

the

year depending

on water

level,

temperature,

food,

and

other factors.

With the

Ultra,

anyone

can eliminate

guesswork

and concentrate on the

areas where fish are

likely

to be. Even if it's the first

time

on the

lakef

The most efficient

way

to become

acquainted

with a

body

of water is

survey

it with

your

UltraNav.

Start with a

map

of the

lake,

possible,

and indicate the

promising spots

relation to landmarks on shore.

you go

about

your survey, your

UltraNav will tell

you

the

depth

and

type

of bottom. It will also

reveal

suspended

fish.

Keep

a few marker

buoys

in the

boat,

ready

to toss overboard. When

the Ultra indicates a school of

fish,

throw the

buoy

out. With the school

thus

marked,

you

can make

your

turn and come back to fish in

exactly

the

right spot.

This is

essential when

you're

far from shore on a

big

lake. Unless

you

mark the school of fish

when

you're

over

it,

you may

not be able to find it

again.

BAIT FISH

The

importance

of bait

fish to successful

fishing

can't be

over-empha-

sized.

They

are the

principle

food of all

game

fish in most waters.

Bait fish are the

plankton feeding forage

fish,

such as minnows and

shad. Bait fish can also be the

young

game fish,

such as

crappies,

bluegill,

and bass.

Most bait fish concentrate within five feet of the surface where

sunlight

promotes

the

growth

of the

plankton

on which

they

feed. One method

fishing

is to use the UltraNav to find the bait fish first. With the Fish ID

feature

off,

school of bait fish will look like a "cloud" on the

display.

Usually,

game

fish will be

nearby,

often

directly

beneath the school of

bait fish.

Once the desired values are

entered,

press

the

key adjacent

to the

"ENTER"

label. The UltraNav will return

to the last used loran

screen,

using

the corrections

you

entered. Switch to

the

position

screen to

see if ASF's are in use. The letters "ASF"

appear

in the

upper

left

corner

of the

screen,

immediately

below the

automatic/manual mode

indicator.
