    With the forecast showing temps over 40 and pushing 50 for the next 7-10 days, I’m seriously considering pulling the boat and and hitting the Missouri River for the weekend. I’ve got the itch to ice fish as bad as anyone else, but our ice was sketchy at best before we got the snow. Add in some warm temps and wind and it’s just more risk than I’m comfortable with.

    Anyone else headed out on soft water this weekend? Looks to be really nice. Stay aware and safe on the ice for those that have it.

    I love it. Very jealous you’ll be in the boat.

    I’ll be focusing on archery league season practice since the ice is sketchy here but there is still ice preventing baiting.

    Boat is hooked up and in the driveway. Should be on water in a few hours.I’m guessing at least 2 more weeks of this weather. Hope for more.

    bee is it possible to put a MarCum or Vex down to see how the bird interference rejection works. I thought that was what another post was questioning and just thought maybe you could help them out.

    I’ll run a 788 and a vx1 next to each other. They’ll play together, but not perfection.

    I have a 788 on the transom and an LX-7 transducer on the bottom of my Bow mount and haven’t had a problem. They are 16.5 feet apart though.

    We are fishing a lx3 and my helix 7 about 10 ft apart. No problems.
