No dock I bet as well eh Dan? LOL!!!! That's insane! Let's hope it warms up for August :) Did you end up checking out the launch at Pine Portage?

Love big lakers, that last one is a cow!

When you save a waypoint on the unit, it saves to the unit memory, not the SD card. The only way to get them on the SD card is to export them.. If you haven't exported them, they aren't being written to the card.

Navionics and the rest of the companies advise you don't do this. There is potential to render the card useless. Then you're out $200, lol. Exporting them to a blank SD card is really easy, as is importing them into your new unit (Should find them automatically after it boots up).. One nice thing I like about the HB units, dual card slots.. One for the map, one for recordings, etc.. SD cards are cheap, I wouldn't take the chance.

Let's hope Lakemaster comes out with a chip with Canadian coverage, that's a HUGE market they aren't covering. Or have 'follow the contour' work with Navionics, etc..

I wouldn't be saving waypoints to your Navionics/HotMaps card.. If you need to transfer use a blank card to copy them over.

His system is now pulling half the amperage as it did being 12v. There's no need to run new wire especially when there's 4ft between the motor and the batteries.

Can't use follow the contour in Canada, the Lakemaster chip doesn't have any Canadian coverage.

I've caught more walleyes this year while fishing for crappie then I ever have before. Not complaining however, lol.

We used to slam them in front of the lighthouse in St.Catharines when I was a kid. Little Cleos, etc... Anything you could cast super far.. Great fish to target with the kids, they are ferocious and if you've found one, you've found a 1000, lol. Also right below the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie as well.. Love silver bass.

No prob bud, I just did that exact upgrade this spring (12V PD system out, 24V Terrova in) it's been working great so far. Didn't touch the wiring.

Wiring will be fine, you have less amperage going through the line with a 24v system compared to your old 12v system...

Nice snakes Steve!

Enjoy it bud!

Thread tag states is a Simoniz S1600.

Hi Phil, I'd like to order a dozen of your finest $200-$400 swimbaits please!

$30 for a flat is killer.

My 48.5 was such a tease.. Worst part is I had a 50+ all but hooked last year but just sat there with a stupid look on my face and watched it spit out my offering. Seeing a fish that big in 3ft of water was unreal.

Gotta love big gators! Hoping to break 50in this year (That's a tough one to break, lol)

So it's not a dual filament bulb? Wouldn't that be funny

Catching OOS fish happens, I wouldn't lose much sleep over it.. I've got some OOS bass this year as well fishing for crappies, what can ya do? Unhook the stupid things and get them back in the water as soon as possible. That's about it.

I've got a spot where they tend to congregate and chase shiners on the surface in the evenings. This only lasts about 2hrs however. After that, I haven't the slightest idea where they disappear to, lol!

Once you go 'L' you won't go back Great pics man!

Crazy... I'll be the first to volunteer if someone invents a time machine
