gjb Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 my first time out on foxy fisher yesterday fitted with the new radar. set it on 2 mile scan and headed out through the fog to swanage picked my way passed marker bouy's and boats still a lot to learn but pleased and surprised i just wish i could find the fish Quote
Bob F Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 Good on ya! ...hope you obeyed the Fog Routine, though??? Quote
toerag Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 If you're going through an area packed with small boats ie. christchurch ledge(?) then 2 mile range isn't going to be detailed enough. You really need to turn the range down to 0.5 miles in situations like that. Still, you're learning, and at least you have the sense to buy a radar. PS. next time you're out try to pick up a buoy/lighthouse equipped with Racon so you know what it looks like on the radar. Quote
