Tournament’s okay for once a year…for them……hey..I’ll share…seems they are not friendly .. even to each other!.Because of MONEY..they just don’t have to tournament every other week… gettin out of hand.. it’s a sport not a job …only a few good guys making it bad for themselves on the long run.
From a local ?.. It’s easy..just obey the rules of the road,..be courteous and friendly .. act like a local you’ll be rewarded,..It’s a wonderful place..personally there’s been to way many tournaments for my taste…. I wish fishing could remain a sport and not a money contest …
I have a Lowrance, HDS, Purchased 18 mo.ago, The depth kept at times ke!pt going to nothing,..a soft reboot would recover it.,, I sent it back, No warranty of course left (1year),...so a upgrade to replace it was offered to a tune of $799.00, so I sent it back and sure enough it was bad. They do not repair them and I did bite on the new one,".I even had to download the latest version !.!.."
I'm not happy with 18 months and down 2 grand..I..just bad luck or .look at Ray marine or?... down the road...
I'm down by Spicer Bay, Been pulling stuff out as well,..Did Modify the Dock so as to get Fenders and The Whips on the dock.
Made some casts off the Dock ...Noth'in hitting.
yep, They are slobs when you get them, ...probably be hopeful if some small ones for future.
..Strange so little panfish around the docks anymore. used to catch minnows overnite with bread too. ......we'll see.. I hope. Thanks Prof. kev
..thanks much Prof T,..I think I have straightened out better now, It's a little different than the old Hummingbird,..
It's quite a unit,...(even in he garage)..I hope we have a great summer up there !.... Though
I did not do very well on the smallies ..Also I notice, ...years ago, lots of perch, rock bass, sunfish for the kids, as not present around the dock, Only a few (darn few)perch...plenty of Cormorons though.. whats your take ? Kev

I read on this forum someone was having big issues with a navionics up @ the river depth & contour issues, perhaps the unit needed a software upgrade. Kev Hilton/Clayton ny
Big blue , thanks for the reply, I did get educated on the g2 card after some checking,
I ended up buying a raymarine pro5, It has he navionics gold card, I liked the ball mount
and it seemed a brighter screen.
