GBay salmon report and a Lowrance/Navionics question

[fishnguy]

Finally started finding some nice salmon around Owen Sound. 70-80 feet of water running anchovies has been the ticket.

 

Would love to attach an inline image of my little guy with a nice salmon but cant figure out how to compress to 250kb.

Any tips?

 

Separately, wondering if anyone else has had this problem with their chartplotter/fishfinder. I've got the Navionics Sonar Charts, which are amazing. BUT the GPS is off by at least 100M. So when it's showing the boat over a nice reef or dropoff, I'm actually more than 100M away, which is kind of frustrating and a bit useless. It's fine for following a specific break line, but makes it hard to find smaller pieces of structure.

 

Anyone had this problem? My finder is a Lowrance if that matters.

 

Thanks

Have you adjusted your GPS settings to Lake Huron/Georgian Bay?

 

Sometimes, depending on how new the unit is, all you need to do is open the card door, remove the Navionics card and reinsert it. It will reset automatically.

it may not be the gps that's off, the maps are.

What GPS unit are you using?

 

If on mobile device, your location might be based on cell towers which is really inaccurate.

 

Otherwise, I've found some maps to be pretty wrong in some areas. If you have a setup that will make your own maps, just re-chart everything.
