    I think it depends on the length of your snell

    Wabasha-

    Most of the old school livebaiters lift and drop the sinker on the mud otherwise it will stir up the bottom and effect the bite. I’ve had good results both ways but i usually will only drag a bottom bouncer and lift and drop lindy rigs.

    Wab-

    I usually do both when I’m rigging. Some days keeping it out of the mud works better, some days dragging works better. I also think it may depend on the flat you are on. Some seem to have more mud or are softer on top of them then others. Once I heard the secret of holding the sinker off the bottom that was all I ever did until my brother schooled my dragging it one day. Now I do both and let the fish dictate what they want.

    As far as your Lowrance issue. I have a buddy that also just came up with the same deal of GPS module not responding. Just this weekend 2 times in the middle of the day I lost signal and that was followed up with GPS Module Not Responding”. I just turned it off and then turned it back on and all was fine. Not sure why.

    Have you down loaded the most recent software?? I have not and will do this week

    I have had the same problem with the GPS module not responding. My issue turned out to be the terminating resister for the bus which my lcx113 and 520 are hooked together on. Turns out that those 120 ohm terminating resisters are known issues. If it continues I would start there if you are running a backbone type system.

    Also if you don’t have any gell on your plugs try putting some on. they protect the connection and keep water out of the plug.

    Good luck

    Granted I have an older Lowrance unit, (LCX-16) but every time I head up to the pond from the Twin Cities i get this error… I found that I get a true signal about 30 minutes after I am in the general area.

    dont know why it does this, but eventually if I leave the unit alone, it will find itself.

    I have ran mine on the pond for last 3 years a ton and have only recently experienced this problem. I appreciate the responses and hope to get it figured out after the 4th.

    Check the power and connections going to your module. The power to your module may be interrupted–even if it has been soldered.

    I had to replace the GPS puck on my 520C GlobalMap and 2 weeks later had the same problem and then had to replace my Head Unit. Anyway now they both are working great.

    So the Final Four has not even been played yet and I’ve won the office pool…and I don’t have anyone playing in the Final Four! The entire office doesn’t have anyone in the Final Four! I’ve never seen this before! How are you doing in your pool?

    I have U Conn left for the final four and that gives me the win.

    But it was an UGLY win

    Other 2 brackets are even worse

    Those are the uber nerds who have software programs designing all the possible brackets and submitting them.

    I’m done also – without a top 3 finish for the first time in years. It’s been a wild & crazy “March Madness”!

    My argument still remains the same. NO ONE picks VCU to the final four. This is computer generated.

    I bet there are thousands of picks with VCU in the final 4…. most of them from Alumni and people who live in the area ? And wouldn’t some dumb guy pick the other 3, where they even have a chance to win it all ? I remember people picking the Gophers all the way, back when they used to get invited to the dance
