  1. Just for comparison purposes, I use a Navionics + Regions East card in my Lowrance HDS 8 Gen 2 and the Lake Master card shows more accurate depth and contours than my Navionics card. I have the HDS 8 and Humminbird 959 on the same boat, running at the same time over the same lake bottom, so I get a true real world comparison between the two cards. I haven't seen a map card yet that is 100 percent accurate.
  2. I use the Humminbird Lake Master mapping cards in all of my Humminbirds, and they very accurately show the depth contours on Lake O and other inland lakes that I fish in northern NY.
  3. Nope, I don't have a clue. I've never owned a Honda.
  4. What might cause this (Humminbird 1198c)? It's not my fish finder, I'm asking for a friend.
  5. I don't see any info there. Is there a model # sticker or plate?
  6. Post a pic of the serial # and model # plate or sticker. One of those numbers should help identify what the shaft length is.
  7. I bought this HDS 7 earlier this year and never mounted it on my boat. I bought a new screen cover for it on eBay. I added 3ft of red and black wire to the power cord, and a new water proof fuse holder. I used heat shrink connectors (butt end and ring terminal) because I was going to hook it directly to the battery on my 16ft row boat. It is complete with a gimbal bracket, knobs, power cable, sceen cover, and an HST-WSBL transom mount transducer. It has a working internal GPS and a working SD card slot. It has the latest software update, which enables this unit to control the Lowrance Outboard Auto Pilot. The factory installed mapping software is the Lowrance Base Map, which does not show depth contours lines. I have the Navionics Plus Regions East map card, and it works great in this unit. BUT, I'm keeping the map card for my other Lowrance unit. I'm asking $400 for the complete unit so I can get back what I put into it, OBRO.
  8. I just found out yesterday that this T-shirt fundraiser is one of a few different fund raisers that will help OATH NY send a Vietnam veteran on a moose hunt in Maine this year. OATH Inc is all about sending vets and active duty service members on hunting and fishing trips, as well as other outdoor activities. If you can help out by purchasing an OATH shirt, it would be greatly appreciated.
  9. Looks like a great fishing platform. It's too bad for most of us that bigger boats aren't more affordable to own and operate. I would own at 28ft or bigger if I could afford it, but my 22ft Crestliner Sabre serves me real well.
  10. Nice looking rig, good luck with the sale!
  11. Thanks for the report! I've been marking bait and fish in and around the bay and points since the season opener but I haven't found a hungry walleye yet. I've even gone out twice in the middle of the week when there's little to no boat traffic. I'm trying to go out tomorrow if I can find a fishing partner.
  12. Did anyone catch any walleye around Chaumont/BRB the weekend of June 2-3rd?
  13. My suggestion would be to fish in a few different boats before you decide to buy one. There are some good "used" boats out there for decent prices. As already mentioned, floor plan and layout is a big factor for gear storage and ease of mevement inside the boat.
  14. Gary Romig of OATH NY has created an OATH NY t-shirt fundraiser. The OATH Inc shirts that I have purchased from this company in the past have all been very high quality t-shirts and polo shirts, as well as their hooded sweatshirts. With Chad''s permission I am posting a link for this t-shirt fundraiser. Anyone can purchase a t-shirt (or more than one). There is no requirement to be a veteran or OATH NY member to purchase a t-shirt. I wear an OATH NY shirt while I'm fishing on OATH NY fishing trips. Feel free to share this link with friends and family. If you choose to buy a t-shirt, thanks in advance for your support!!! OATH Inc stands for Outdoor Association for True Heroes, Incorporated and is a non-profit organization, and is free to join for Active Duty service members, Guard, Reserve, Coast Guard and Veterans. https://www.customink.com/fundraising/oathinc2018?ref=email_messaging_mobile-campaign-page-share&utm_campaign=mobile-campaign-page-share&utm_content=oathinc2018&utm_medium=messaging&utm_source=email&side=front&type=1&zoom=false

  16. Sounds good, I'm ready for a few fishing trips with you, your boat and mine.
  17. I believe you have my contact info already, and you are more than welcome on my boat. You and up to 2 of your friends are welcome to fish with me. I work every Sunday and Thursday, and I fish most Saturdays with a friend who has a bigger boat and usually needs a fishing partner. If you have a Friday, Monday or Tuesday off for a long weekend, let me know ahead of time and we can plan a fishing trip.
  18. That would be awesome, and much appreciated! Thank you!
  19. You can also take a veteran and his/her spouse and/or child. My son is 20 now, and he loves to fish with me. I can't begin to guess how many birthdays, aniversaries, and holidays I missed because of my 20 years of service. The spouses and children are who hold down the household while the service member is away from home for training and deployments.
