Well finally going to a/c on friday morning.Taking my se with for the first time.I have done it in the past with my fisher 1266 and did pretty good but it was chattering like crazy,just had to take my time.Im hoping the se does well for me.I never used it on the beach before and not sure how its gonna react.But im willing to find out! I will be sure to show my results when I get back saturday evening.
