    Garmin 73Dv

    Just instaledl a 73dv on the bow, long time lowrance guy from Canada. Haven't played with any settings yet and a first time garmin guy, was wondering what you experts recommend for the settings to get me going, I have a fishing trip planned this Friday to the bay of quinte and would like to spend more time fishing rather than, trying to dial this unit in, I have no experience with down vu.wll be fishing 10 to 25ft of water, and my home waters are lake erie an lake ontario , an help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks Wayne

    Hey Wayne, the Garmin's work fantastic right out of the box on the auto settings. Working through the menu's is a lot easier than most on the market. Just play with it til you find what's right for you.
    Try not to stick too many walleye and leave some for the rest of us. Lol.....

    He is going strong with the musky baits and I am not sure how much time he has with the smaller tubes to produce. It is still a sideline for him and his time is limited.
