Letting in all kinds of soft goals

Of course they do, but you'd think guys with a rig like that would know better... That was my entire point. Pleading ignorance in their situation just embarrasses them even more. The guy fishing 3 weekends a year I'll cut a lot more slack. We all catch OOS fish on occasion while fishing for a species that's got an open season.

I'm all for trying new techniques, but when the lake you're fishing ONLY has bass in it, and you're in there 2 weeks before opener, there isn't an excuse in the book you could tell me to change my mind

Nope, it won't matter about the small details (downimaging, etc)... Well that's good news. Do you have the Advanced mode selected in settings? This will give you a few more menu items on the chart section. Here's your manual in PDF form http://www.humminbird.com/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=3021 Page 131 tells you how to set the finder to Advanced mode Page 28 tells you how to add maps to the fish finder.

Anyone surprised? I've seen guys in 70k rigged bass boats fishing a lake 2 weeks before opener... Telling me at the ramp they were fishing pike, lol. What a crock.

How do I get on this staff and friends night?

You sure your unit is compatible with Navionics Plus? Manual states it's only compatible with Gold, Hotmaps and Hotmaps Premium.

I've had our 60in Terrova out of the water a few times when the waves are really kicking.. If you can get away with a shorter shaft, then go for it (It will be cheaper)... Don't sacrifice on the power though! You can never have too much of that

As long as possible. 60in for sure.

Let's hope! I read an article from the now fired assistant coach that said he thought Leo's leaving was a bigger impact then the everyone thought.

I use my HB 747 in a portable icefishing pack for fly-in trips with a suction cup transducer. Works great!

That's brutal. Xmas came early to someone.

Yup, the fescue at Wildflower up in Coldwater is good stuff. I'm going to overseed with it on my lawn soon..

He didn't notice that rig flying off the back of the truck?

You're further along then I am! I still haven't seen one when I've had my camera with me.

I've done the same thing with mine, fished the Notty, drove all the way home with my Loomis IM6/Frogwater on the roof.. Eek!

If this is the only fish finder on your rig, yeah I'd definitely say it's worth it.. 6 years out of a transducer isn't bad

Wack it with a hammer That's a sure sign however that the transducer is on it's way out. I'd get a replacement on order.

Pair of Maui Jim Peahis... that hurt.

Whats a regular battery charger? Like a Battery Tender or similar? If so, then sure.

16ft tinny? I'd drill holes, use silicon and be done with it.

I hope he has a graph with both speed and temp

What do you need help with? Installing a fish finder isn't very hard. I'm sure we could help you out.

Size of the boat really doesn't matter a whole lot. Common sense and a keen eye on the weather will play the biggest role if you're out there fishing or not. We fished all that big water in our old 16ft Smokercraft (Along with Lake O, Superior, you name it)... Some days it's perfectly fine, some days you just shouldn't be out there.

Terry has to perfect the grip and grin, he steelheads, he should know by now! Nice job boys.
