  1. Thanks for everyone's input! Going with Ryan from Wepoundem'.
  2. Probably about 4 or 5 of us. You have any recommendations for a charter out of the south shore, Dave?
  3. I'm looking at booking a charter in mid-May on Lake Ontario for my grandfather's 80's birthday, We were looking at IZZI Charters, but haven't made any decisions. Any recommendations?
  4. Nice haul, Matt. That 6 pounder would have been sweet!
  5. Thanks, got it off. It's on there really tightly though. Quick question. I am about to configure the wiring (to a small 12v, 8ah battery). There are two wires that split, and the manual says one is a data cable and one is a power cable. The power cable has a red, black, and yellow wire. Do I just need to set up the red and black wires to connect to the battery? What is the yellow wire for (a ground wire?), and what is the data cable for?
  6. I just purchased an HDS-7, but can't figure out how the white protective cover comes off. I don't want to force it and snap anything. It's on the unit really tightly. Any help would be appreciated.
  7. Ok, I've looked into the Insight maps and, obviously, those are the HD maps. But since I fish Ontario lakes, will the insight mapping chips even be useful (i.e. have HD lake maps on the lakes I fish)?
  8. What are the Lake Insight and Nautic Insight maps like compared to the base maps.
  9. Rizzo, is that the US Basemap that you're referring to as having come with your unit?
  10. Thanks, Steve. But I think I'm going to go with an HDS unit. And I have Cabelas gift cards.
  11. Thanks, Patrick! Great information. Would the Navionics Hotmaps Canada chip have Georgian Bay as well, or just inland lakes?
  12. What nav chip are you using, Rizzo?
  13. Thanks, Craig. That's what convinced me to buy.
  14. I'm going to be purchasing a new Lowrance GPS/Sonar combo, and have been contemplating either the HDS-5 or Elite 5. I think I'm going to go with the HDS-5 because it seems to be worth the extra coin. Do you agree? Also, I would be looking for a mapping chip for it. I fish Georgian Bay quite a bit, as well as other lakes in the Parry Sound and North Bay areas. Any suggestions on the best chip for this area? If I could find a chip that has a wide variety of lakes on it throughout Ontario, that would be great. Finally, I would be looking to use it for ice fishing as well. So, does the HDS-5 or Elite 5 have winter transducers, or would I have to rig up an ice set-up for it using the summer transducer? Thanks!
  15. There are some pretty luxurious ice huts listed on this site: http://fishhouseforsale.com/ Fun to look at.
