Fancy setup ya got there. Guess your the Bill Gates of crappie fishin:D
Honey and I were trying to run down the trophies, but that is now on hold til next weekend....Hmmmmmmmmm.
Dug a few nice fish out of the stumps in 15-20 foot of water. Water temp ranged from 82 to 86 degrees.
The big screen is my laptop with Kentucky Hydrographics maps. I just drive right up to this underwater stuff using the big screen. Ain't technology wonderful. While you guys with those 997 are looking for the stuff, I just drive up to it...hahaha
The other instrument near the console is my HP IPAQ 2195. I use it navigating. It is just a miniature of the big one up front. Well kinda. It is wireless. and uses the wireless Garmin GPS10. Nice not to have an umbilical cord following you around.
That handsome guy holding the fish is yours truly. Actually Honey took the picture, but missed the bottom fishie. I had just "doubled up". It gets a little wild when you try to land two fish on the line. What a kick in the pants! That pole is my Richard Williams 10 footer that I use bottom bumping. As you can see, I have the red cagun 17 lb test line and my tried and true Martin reel. Pretty simple setup. I don't need a complicated pole. I am busy reading my gadgets. Those poles in the pole holder are just along for the ride. Might get lucky. I am left handed. That is why there is nothing on the left side of the cockpit. I gotta have working room somewhere.
We pulled in well over a hundred fish, but only kept 18. We had a large time.

HIGH TECH TOM....Are you really going to let Frank & me in your boat? You know all 3 of us are moving toward middle age... Will any of those gadgets do an MRI or EKG? Might come in handy....

When I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations I have a good day
Gosh Tom, I expected you to say your HP IPAQ 2195 Space modulator! lol! That's pretty awesome. Just goes to show you got to fish where they are and you've obviously got that figured out.
I'd be scared to death that a big wave or something would knock my lap top into the drink!
Well, now I know why I don't catch many fish! I just use a pole, guess I gotta get rich and buy some lectronic gadgits to catch more! Just kiddin, Mr. Tom, great lookin set up. I wouldn't be able to read all that, though.
