  1. Excellent! Troll East so I can reach you on ch9 Also, I remembered your Salmon Slam shirts, so if you get a chance to stop by let me know!
  2. WOOHOO!! Vacation time! 10 straight days of fishing and fun! Today's reports out of Sodus are extremely slow fishing, but screens loaded with fish in 100fow. It was very nice of the fish to hold off on feeding until we get out tonight... at least that's my hope We are going for a LOC fish to start, so fishing may be slower than usual, but hopefully we find some big girls!

  3. The one night I used it, I ran 24" and did hook into a nice king.
  4. Ive had good salmon mounts done at Fish Wish and a terrible steely. I left a 20+lb steelie along with a CD and printouts of pics of the fish, beautiful summer chromer. The fish was shipped to me and was full winter colors and looked much smaller. She repainted it, but it still doesn't even come close to the original.
  5. No, not until next week! Hopefully, most days between Aug 27 and Labor Day!
  6. Yeah my hardtop blocks a lot of direct sun. I looked at the lumens of tablets and it looks like the Samsung Galaxys have some of the brightest screens. There have to be some specialty tablets out there with high lumens as well, I just haven't looked too hard yet.
  7. It's a nice unit. The only button I miss is one to drop a waypoint. I'm really going to miss that. It takes three taps now to drop a waypoint.
  8. It's a rainy, windy, miserable day. No one went out that I heard of. Hopefully, this windy weather will pass by as next week we are up for our annual fishing vacation! I did get the new GO7 and tablet install nearly finished. https://youtu.be/9IGG7V3eTfY I updated the GO7 firmware and that took care of the GoFree app issue I was having. The install took forever, mostly due to there not being an easy way to run wires from the helm to the electrical panel downstairs. I still have two problems. The first is my autopilot isn't working quite right. It wasn't holding position on the troll. I had disconnected the ground for the pilot for a bit, but I'm not sure why that would matter. We went through the seatrial calibration again yesterday and I did move the new power cable away from the pilot's compass wires, so hopefully that helps. The second issue is I ran an nmea2000 cable from the GO7 to the SeatalkNG input on the sportpilot, but the sportpilot doesn't seem to be getting the data. The instructions for both units are pretty terrible, but I need to keep digging to see if I missed a way to turn NMEA200 out on for the GO7 or the SeatalkNG data on for the sportpilot. I did use the GO7 fishing yesterday and medium CHIRP was pretty awesome. It showed a lot more detail than my previous finder. The chart is cluttered and I need to figure out how to dumb it down a bit so the maps aren't showing a million things.
  9. Lake has gone flat, wind died, fish have disappeared and it is HOT. Time to start pullin.
