Yankee , I see there are at least 6 models of the helix 7 , with my description of my fishing which model would you suggest I go with .

Thanks for the help yankee troller , the list of lakes is impressive with lakemaster , now how do decide where to mount it , it would be nice to have it on the dash for finding spots that I want to fish and mapping a shoal first and then to have it on the trolling motor while im up in the bow targeting bass .

I fish the finger lakes alot mostly jigging lakers and my old X135 does a good job I can see my jig in 80 ft of water no problem and i can see the fish moving in and chasing , What im looking for is better detail when smallmouth fishing the finger lakes or lake ontario or the St Lawrence river finding shoals and drop offs , using my old lowrance doesnt give me the real picture you have to read alot into what its showing you.Mapping of some kind when you go to a new lake to help find the shoals and cover in the first place .I do have downriggers and a wire dipsey rig and leadcore onboard so salmon are in the picture too but probably not as much .

Its time for new electronics trying to find a easy use unit thats capable of navionics or lakevue something that would shoals with decent detail dont do to much trolling but alot of jigging and dropshotting for bass , would the helix 7 be a good unit

EKoselny thanks for the info on the maps , is that version available on my cell phone and and what does it cost , now i feel like I've been hiding under a rock all this time , my lowrance depth finders are pretty out dated and dont except chips so now i know what iv'e been missing out on !!! Thanks again

Ive seen this app I have it on my phone under boat HD navionics do you have to buy a plan or can you use it in a restricted mode to check it out ,

Has anyone stayed here or go there for the fishing on a regular basis ,I would like to get more info before I commit the few days of vacation I have to a place i haven't seen , thanks .

Does anyone know of a good map of Henderson harbor that would include the area around association island and the shoals

Ekoselny thanks for the info , sounds like it is a good spot is middle of September a good time to be up there for smallies

Hey guys the association island area has always looked interesting to me for bass never been there though , trying to figure out if it would be a good place to try mid September for smallmouth , dont want to get blown off the water the whole trip but looks like there is some protected areas if you run towards Henderson harbor . Anybody familiar with the area know if it would it be a good place to stay for a few days bass fishing or are there better places back near the harbor or does the association island put you out closer to better fishing , thanks for any help .

I went with heavier tires and the price was really good , went from a imported kenda 6 ply to a Cooper 8 ply and they were 75.00 each, i wasnt having any trouble with old tires but they were weather checking on the sidewall

I just learned that are PA fish comm. ramps are open but not sure about dcnr , but how is trailering your boat life sustaining

Does N.Y. have a stay at home order are you allowed to trailer boats , I'd like to trailer the boat up to the finger lakes but we have a stay at home order here in Pa. , wonder if PA or NY officials would pull me over .Looks like alot of you guys are still fishing any problems .

I used to have a hard time enjoying lakers but we use to freeze them for an extended time and man does that make them strong , we found if you cut most of the dark meat out and eat them fresh there as good as many other fish . If your really laker shy cut them in 2 '' squares and deep fry or pan fry with a good seasoned coating !! Now I'm wanting a laker for supper !!!

Hope this doesn't get to be a problem up there , we stay at the old super 8 in Auburn and last time at a shady looking area in lansing called the trip motel , all went good but I was wondering what I would have left in the boat in the morning , so far never had a problem but its always on my mind !!!!
