Lowrance HDS-8 8-Inch Waterproof Marine GPS and Chartplotter with 83/200kHz Transducer (Enhanced U.S. Basemap)

i just put a brand new sounder in and set the transducer up just as they described it in the instructions manual but when I'm on plane I'm getting a big rooster tail.
Can anyone help me with this?

A: It sounds like you have mounted it to low, raise it about 2 inches and test run. If you are on a sharp part of the V, or to close to a chine, you might need to relocate inboard a few inches.

Riege: There's a heat wave a comin'

BY BOB AND GINNY RIEGE

Nothing on earth that’ll get me humin’ like a heat wave comin’; Yes sir, Clint Black is right when he sings his song Summer’s Comin’. A lot of us started out singing that song in April. However, in many parts of the North we were still singing Summer’s Comin’ into September.

Due to the cool spring and summer, we as anglers have to realize that the fish are going to be in a different pattern than they were last year at this time.

Walleyes are found around structure. In any lake, river or reservoir, most walleyes hang around certain significant bottom shapes. Deep-water reefs (sunken islands) are a classic example, as are points that extend into water deep enough to suit walleyes.

The key to consistent success is finding the fish, not using a magic lure or bait. During the summer and especially during the heat of the day, deep water humps or sunken islands are the most important structure for locating walleyes.

Most structure that attracts walleyes will have a significant drop off, giving the fish an easy way to move up and down in the water while staying close to the bottom. Light penetration and water temperature usually determine how deep they will be. Walleyes like water temperatures in the 60s. Therefore, I would expect to find walleyes along steeply dropping structure over a hard bottom, deep enough to escape bright light and deep enough to be in water in the mid to high 60s.
