Oslofjorden 17.02.15 - kort tur uten fisk

Det ble en kort tur ut på Oslofjorden i går. Med bare en time igjen før solen gikk ned og skikkelig ettermiddagsbris, var det mest for turens skyld at jeg la ut.

Godt med sjø på vei ut fra Killingen

Testing av ekkolodd for Hooked.no stod på agendaen. Jeg sammenlikner den utgående modellen Lowrance Elite HDI med den nye modellen Elite CHIRP. Begge bruker de samme ekkoloddgiverne, men det er litt andre forskjeller på de. Jeg kommer tilbake med en artikkel om Elite CHIRP på Hooked.no etterhvert som jeg får mer tid med modellen. Men jeg brukte faktisk kun dette ekkoloddet i går, HDSene mine fikk hvile så lenge.


Elite HDI vs Elite CHIRP

Som jeg har skrevet om før, har jeg fått et par Eastfield Maverick shadjigger. I går fikk jeg de endelig i vannet for å teste gangen, og det var en positiv opplevelse. Veldig fin bevegelse på de, så her har jeg nok et par fiskefangere som skal få endel tid i vannet fremover.

Siden målet med turen var å teste ekkolodd, hadde jeg ikke med meg så mye fiskeutstyr. Kun vertikalstangen og en boks med jigger. Jeg hadde et par napp på vertikalen, men ikke noe som ville sitte. En ting som overrasket meg litt, var at vanntemperaturen i fjorden stort sett lå på 4 grader over alt. Det virker som vinden har rotet skikkelig rundt i vannmassene, det var bare et par steder jeg så et tydelig sprangsjikt på ekkoloddet. Dette er gode nyheter for fisket den neste uken eller så, men jeg kommer meg nok ikke ut igjen før over helgen. Det var heller ikke antydning til is noe sted, noe som er naturlig med tanke på både vanntemperatur og vind.

The perfect settings for Lowrance? A guide on how to set up your 2D-sonar part I.

Perhaps the most repeated question in Facebookgroups and forums regarding marine electronics: "What are the best settings?" The bad news is that there is no uniform answer to that. The good news is that you can adjust settings according to conditions if you have a little knowledge as to what settings you should tweak and why. Here is part 1 of our guide to get the most out of your unit in regards to settings.

What is the difference between HDS Carbon and HDS Live?

Here we go again, a new generation of the Lowrance HDS. And with that Facebook and the different forums are flooded with questions referring to the difference between the new and the old. So what is the difference between Lowrance HDS Live and HDS Carbon?

Lowrance Elite Ti2 versus Elite FS

  When Lowrance launches a new mid-range unit, it is a big deal. Forums and Facebookgroups light up with questions on the new stuff, differences towards the old stuff and questions on compatibility. As usual, we in Team Colibri will try our best to sort that out, both on a technical level and with a more practical in-your-boat approach.

What is the difference between Lowrance HDS Live and Elite Ti2?

Lowrance as a brand of marine electronis is well known to all anglers, but the differences within their range of different models seem to cause quite a few questions out there. Here we will try to outline the difference between Lowrance HDS Live (top end) and Lowrance Elite Ti2 (middle range). Lowrance Elite Ti2 vs Lowrance HDS Live (photo; lowrance.com) As usual, we will start with the tech and then try to translate those technical aspects to practical differences while out on the water. Hardware - housing, screen and connections. The screen and housing on Elite Ti2 is the same as on the previous Elite Ti, and again more or less the same as on HDS Gen 2 Touch. (The memorycard-door and mounting-bracket is different from HDS Gen 2 Touch.) This is by no means new stuff, and compared to the more advanced housing and screen on HDS Live, Elite Ti2 is starting to show its relative age. However, with that in mind it is worth noting that when looking at the competition, several of

Lowrance Hook 2 versus Lowrance Hook Reveal

You have to hand it to Lowrance when it comes to the name of their new entry-level line of sonar and chartplotters. We all want to hook up, and what better way to do that then by having our marine electronics reveal to us where the fish are?
