We went on the hunt for some cold water Stripers at Lake Cumberland. Water temps were around 48 degrees and more rain and colder weather was on the way. We managed to catch a few nice fish pulling planar boards with live shad.
I believe i have the correct equipment to catch them , its finding them is my problem. Does side scan help when going 20 mph, i only have DI. Or better yet if you dont where the fish are do you always mark fish or bait before you put lines out? I know fish are easier to see in summer on sonar because they are deep but what about the rest of the seasons. Should you always mark fish before putting lines out. (This is Freshwater Lakes I'm preferring too) Your videos are great Thanks
I very rarely use my sonar in locating them. However, I know people that wont put a line in the water until they see them on their graph. One thing I do know though is that you aren't going to catch a damn thing if you don't have lines in the water. I personally will put out a set, fish 30-45 minutes and move on to a new spot if nothing is happening. Knowing the yearly movement of the fish is the biggest thing.
@@millersmonstrosity3419 . That’s actually less than I thought . I thought you’d say $15K. I’m thinking of a F450 Cab and chassis, but you’ve scared me. I think the 2023 payload has changed quite a bit though. I believe the 2023 F450 is a 16,500 and 7500-8000 payload now.
@@garyjones5093 23' crew cab 450 16,500 gvw gives you a payload of 9100lbs give or take based on trim level and options. CM bed weighs 1300 or so which leaves you around 7800 lbs....all depends what you are trying to make work
@@millersmonstrosity3419 . Host Yukon. Probably 5500, then body, extra fuel tank, two people, and tools, spare tire, generator, it may be close. I may have to move to a 550? Who knows.
