The lake waters are cooling a bit every day as the night
temperatures keep going below the freezing mark. This is getting all of the ice
anglers very excited for that first ice once it arrives. You have looked over
all of your ice fishing equipment and figured that you are set for that first
trip to the ice, but, there may be one item that you are neglecting that may
put you onto more fish this winter.
We are talking about having a current lake depth map.
Vexilar has come out with the SonarPhone that is allowing you to using your
smart device and the Navionics application for mapping the waters that you
always fish. The Navionics app on your smart device may already have a map of
your fishing lake, but if you use the Sonarphone and map that lake yourself,
you are going to find out that there is a lot of new information that you never
knew was even there.
This is what we are currently doing right now until the ice
comes. We have made a list of the lakes that we fish that have no mapping
information for them. These are typically smaller waters and requires using our
Jon boat for obtaining this information. By running your smart device with the
Navionics app and the SonarPhone Tbox, we are creating live information about
our fishable waters.
The SonarPhone Tbox is very reasonably priced but for what
you get back in the form of lake depth information, you will wonder why you
never started using this earlier. It is simple to use and there may only be a
few more weeks left for being able to do this, so you owe it to yourself to
take a look at the SonarPhone Tbox.
The examples from our mapping this past weekend, in the one picture,
this is the typical Navionics map and the other is the SonarPhone overlay on
the same map and as you can see the biggest difference between them.
