    The Wilson Harbor Invitational hired them to do the 2014 tourney and the 2015 tourney. Below is a link to the videos from 2014. Mind you the fishing was terrible, but they did a great job with what they had. The videos for 2015 should be MUCH better due to the outstanding fishing we had. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6zkdWAvX5ds0ebvY80SLwrdsHZvFMgDR

    Always go in and restore defaults after a software update Ed. Even if it looks like it already did that. Also, when updating the software unplug everything but the power wire from the back of the unit. That chip is pretty nice for Lady O.The contour shading is a nice feature. Lake O is very detailed, but Lake Erie isn't on the NE chip. If you want some great videos on HB and the Lakemaster chip go on YouTube and check out Doug's page - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC720StZgdcrn-Ldn7vY4v1g He knows his stuff!

    It should Ed. My ICE688 uses the Lakemaster chip. i think it means you will just have dual beam capability instead of the Quad beam. The Quad beam included a 2D like side imaging view. Can't hurt to call the 1800# and get clarification.

    Nice job fellas! It's always fun to fish out of Rochester.

    Let it out slowly. Many times we will let it out on a slow drag and it'll fire on the way out. I see too many people, and this goes for seasoned anglers as well, dump coppers to quickly. You're asking for trouble. Also, once you get it out let it settle before you hook it to a board. If you dump them quick and then try to slide it out on a board you're going to catch your diver. We run 3 junk lines ALL the time. When the fishing gets tough we'll run 5. If you want to run multiple coppers on a side figure out what length works best for your program, or for the water you're fishing. Then make 2 of them. If you run 2 200' or 2 300' off each side then it's like Brown Trout fishing. When the outside one goes off you slide the inside one down.

    New tool for Humminbird users! Meet the RC1 Bluetooth Remote. It will work with the 800, 900, and 1100 series core units as well as the ONIX series. This can be a really nice tool for you if you're working the back of your boat while trolling. With the push of a button you can mark a waypoint. It can do much more than that, but I think that is a huge plus for us trollers. http://www.humminbird.com/Products/AS-RC1/

    You are correct sir the straight horizontal lines are the downrigger balls. When a fish is red, or whatever is the strongest color return on the color palette you have set up, it means the fish is in the center of the cone that the transducer is putting out. The blue streaks are the fish moving through the gear. There are a couple of great videos you should watch that go into great detail about how sonar works. You gain a lot more functionality, a little better networking ability, and a higher screen resolution.

    Been running the new ONIX series from Humminbird this Spring and we're really impressed with the detail they show. Enjoy the pics.

    No hating! I'm a fan of it!

    You can meet us (Bob Songin or myself) at the Niagara Pro Am this weekend, or if you're local we can meet up during the week in Rochester somewhere. Should be a fun event!

    Sounds like a Del Rio limit to me Bruce.

    Let's keep the word "Pro" out of this. Obviously, that word is used loosely....I won't mention and names.....Freakin Creepers. If you obtain a Captains License to use take people out fishing for money you have to think in your mind you can catch them their limit, and that you have enough experience to showcase what our resource has to offer. They aren't coming back to fish with you if you cant do that. So, that being said why do you want to enter a division where some guys only fish once or twice a month? Play with the big boys if you are taking money from paying customers. If not, there are plenty of 1 day events that everyone plays in throughout the season.

    I just like arguing with you buddy!

    Why does there have to be a rule for everything? It's like walking up to a baby and stealing his lollipop. Are there laws for that? NO!
  20. Yankee Troller
    If someone thinks they are capable of being a charter boat captain then they shouldn't enter the open division. It's supposed to be a grass roots level to get people interested in fishing tourneys. Not to intimidate them by jack-potters. There are enough $100 one day events throughout the summer for anyone to enter. Keep the open division there for what it was designed for.

    Nice job buddy!

    Tilting your transducer is the worst thing to do. Your 83 or 50kw beam should have no issues picking your balls up. My ducer is a good 20' forward from my balls and I can mark them after about 20/30' all the way down to 200'+. Tilting your ducer will give you false depths of fish and your balls. Its simple trigonometry. If you have a transom mount ducer you should see them within 10' of the surface. I would look at settings on your FF, and whether the ducer is shot. Tilting it isn't the answer.

    I'm sure we can use it. Maybe highest amateur finish? Damn kids these days.....gimmie gimmie gimmie......go earn it! Hahaha Great question. In the event we have a blow day whatever round the brackets stop in the heaviest and 2nd heaviest catches will take money.
