Same, thinking the starting battery was sufficient but the box would shut down and LiveScope icon disappeared from screen. Found a couple vids on maintaining constant 12.5 volts or better and then purchased standalone lithium battery for Garmin only. All working good.

I would think if you're running PanOptix then 50ah is ample. I use the 100ah lithium battery for my Garmin as PanOptix requires a steady 13 plus volts or it will crash. At least that is the experience I had. Once I wired to standalone lithium everything works as it should. I run Echomap 106SV with livescope LVS34 and GLS10.

I fished Elbow Lake with Leuenbergers a long time ago, probably 30 years. It's a small lake so there were not problems finding fish, not big ones but lots under 4 pounds.

I took a Motorguide unit into Aikmans for repairs about 5 years ago and they were awesome. Unit is still working today.

I can't comment specifically on the Lowrance system. I installed the Garmin PanOptix LiveScope System in my boat earlier this season and all i can say is WOW. The detail is like nothing I have seen before. I don't know the differences between Humminbird vs Lowrance Vs Garmin but Garmin was recommended to me by industry people and its great. The Lowrance system looks great too.

There is a small, cottage based company that is close to my cottage in Port Loring. They have been making jackets for a long time. We own a number of them and they are fantastic, the company is called Northern Bug Wear. Here is a link to their site: https://www.northernbugwear.ca/

Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I looked and couldn't find anything on this. Ontario MNR&F are proposing rule changes in order to provide clarity on when we can photograph, measure and weigh fish before they are released. Even out of season fish. Here is a link to the article, there is a small survey as well: https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-5045

Yes I remember the U of T Zoo Board, it was run by a guy named Andy.

Looks like changes are on the way for Zone 15 including bass opening a week earlier and a zone wide slot on harvestable walleye. Details are here: https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-5715?fbclid=IwAR0dH3aV7NjH4CRjyOWEXBLsrCywWmRhCEPskt-lqKRJzdaA31XHkF4pTTA

There is some talent right there, nicely done.

Watching a bit of it on Bassmaster LIVE. He is one of the only anglers fishing vertically, looks like he's targetting smallies. https://www.bassmaster.com/video/bassmaster-live

And of course note that the regular smallmouth season has been delayed until the first Saturday in July.
