I’m glad to know I’m not the only one struggling with the offshore bite. I found them yesterday at different depths but ended up only catching schoolies and late on top water.

1 ounce. Any smaller and the bigger baits and long leader won’t cast correctly.

You know I am not sure but believe most current. I just upgraded boats two weeks ago and still breaking in. Use to run lowrance and was able to dial those in. But just turned these on and ran across one of my spots while breaking in motor and was like Oooo gotta stop and chunk. Lol. Only thing I have adjusted so far is turning the sensitivity up to 15. I actually love the birds and have ran lowrance for almost 30 years. Here’s the same spot on lowrance gen 2 from troll motor. These are big bass caught one around 8 and a couple 6 out of them. I check manuals on new ones to see what they are.

G3N I know it’s running mega chirp from scrolling through menus. The other thing I finally turned off is the color bar on the right to get more display. That took forever cause you have to put menu system in custom/advanced mode to get more menu options.
