Round Valley Sonar Shot 1991
 
Thought I'd share this sonar shot from my Grandfather's logbook from 1991. This is from an old lowrance paper machine.......man did I love the smell of those old machines lol. These are browns, bows, and lakers all deep relating to bait according to my grandfathers logbook. The dark horizontal lines are the downrigger balls and the vertical lines are where he was dropping the ball and then catching a fish and the ball coming back up. Tons of fish arches all over.....thats the way the Valley used to be. I have his log books back to the when the valley first opened and wasn't even full yet.

Jeremy.....I have thousands of these. He pulled some on every trip and put them on his log page for each trip. I left out the spots....they were written on the top of that shot lol. I also have a book full of GPS coordinates......my grandfather was wayyyyyy ahead of his time when it came to trolling. I have screen shots like this from the early 80's.

Those boomerangs remind me of schooling tuna under the boat! I've never seen paper docs like that before, either. Pretty awesome throwback stuff. Your grandfather def was ahead of his time. I'm sure he Slayed when he was out on the water. Those endless logbooks are worth their weight in gold.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't start fishing RV until 2002 and didn't know what I was doing until 2005. I missed all the good years. :mad:
