  1. Well I finnaly got to put my beginer fly fishin skills to the test this morning. After working the graveyard shift and arriving home just as the sun was comming up I thought theres no way Im gonna go to bed with that dead wind and a nice little fog rolling over the surface of the river. I am by no means a fly angler but I like to play arround with it once and a while mainly targeting panfish. Knowing there are a lot of carp that like to feed on the surface down the river here I thought this would be a great oppertunity to give it a whirl. As I casted my first fly in front of a passing school I scared the hell outta them quickly learning that carp are easily spooked. Now Ive got to learn to ba a little more stelthy. After a half an hour or so of casting away from the fish to tune my casting a bit I headed back to the fish. Within a couple minutes of trying to steddy the heart rate as they were swimmin arround my fly one finnaly took it. What a blast! Ill be back at this again for sure.

  2. If all you are going to run off of that battery is the finder/gps, why not use a 12v gel cell like the ones made for the ice fishing finders. When Ice fishing or using my finder/gps in someone elses boat I have the Lowrance ice kit with the small 12v battery and it last all day.

  3. Go to chilli's board and post where the fish are biting..that will get you banned AND deleted......ask fishmaster...oh crap, I just asked for trouble.... :whistling::oops:

     

     

     

    Exactly. I used to love that board, but a couple years ago it went to ****. Someone posted that they were going to be in Dunnville for a couple days and asked where they could buy a box of worms. Of course someone says Fishmaster and holy hell the walls darn near came down.

     

    I love it here at OFC.

     

    Lets keep it the way it is.

     

     

     

    My 2 cents (or 2.1 cents US)

  4. Can you see water spraying out the exaughst? Run it with the ear muffs on it to check, this will tell you the impeller is ok. If you got water there you must have a clog in the system somewhere. Little spiders have a habit of gettin up inside the pee hose and building nests, had this happen with myne a couple times.

     

    Good luck

  5. Similar problem here, just havnt made the phone call yet. A friend of myne bought his licence last June (this is the first time for him) still have not recived the card. Now he wants to renew but where to you put the sticker?

     

    Hes gonna make the call soon and by the sounds of it I should record the conversation.

  6. I am very happy with Lowrance. This issue was my fault for letting the unit ride in the sled on the way out.

     

    Lesson learnd.

     

    I did however have a LMS 522 fail on me. Was out on the water and it just shut down and would not come back on. I went to the Lowrance shop in Mississauga with it and they gave me a new one.....no recipt no questions nothing. The unit they gave me is the one I am using today 3 years later.

     

    Good unit, good coustomer service.
