Headed out from O.R at gentlemans hrs. No spots but had an idea (somewhat misguided plan, based on previous outings) of ground to cover. Thought the 90's would be a good place to start.
Found this x several on the 587 with a 1kw 'ducer on 50htz with some custom settings:
While looking at this:
And landed a couple of these - including one on the first drop within seconds:
Plus Nanny's and blackarse to 31cm.
Almanac said stay home and drink beer..... I still drank beer, but the view was so much better out there, from a 5.8m Ally....!!

Sorry, 587 with
Sorry, 587 with recognition.. I also have my spare gps feeding waypoint signal so marking the spots was invaluable because I'm rubbish at back-tracking!! I'm still feeling my way around it (the sounder). This was the first serious effort using LF.. Just have to sort out the shift function now..

It'll be worth it's weight
It'll be worth it's weight in gold if it keeps finding creatures like that for you! Excellent separation in the bottom 3m of the water column in 90m.
