Slightly off topic. FISH FINDERS
Just now you will be throwing RAPALA'S on spinning sticks to find the LM lies.
What happened to doing the homework and "hunting" the fish ?
It's not in the catching, it's in the learning something new.

Herman I think anyone who owns one and fish the Vaal will tell u it's meant for a whole lot of other functions and not actually for "finding fish" I use mine to view temperature,depth and just general bottom scouting like looking for ledges,rock bed,drop offs,for future excursions or for later in the afternoon fishing or just to be cautious ie motor protection (already on my 2nd prop this winter).
Very valuble tool indeed!

Maybe I should get one, and strap it to my boot when wading places like GVP, or other such neferious wading venues.
Hope they come with their own battreies though. Having to put a big 6V battery in my back pack, would take away from precious liquid sustenance storage space, ito of weight on the river.
Also with that weight in my pack, I wouldn't be able to DRIFT.
I would just sink.

It actually has a nose-ring (strap), but the pic from the front doesn't show it. It's just below the photo's bottom.
The oars never pose a problem as we fish with stripping baskets. Fly line tends to snag on EVERYTHING (boots, battery holders, net, backpacks, cooler bags). Also the stripping baskets help when you get out of the boat...line doesn't get dragged with current, etc.
The valves...there are three, one for each pontoon or air compartment. Two at the back on the pontoons each side, one front...can't recall exactly where.
Michael,
I have to ask the question. Have you ordered yours yet.

Just a thought on some of the line-management issues on a arc or heron.
I use my net , open it up , and lie it across the gunnels , and strip into the net.
Seems to work fine.
It is a long , folding handle model , works great...

The "water on mars" is funny!
