Back on the water.....
Took my time, but got 997 installed on my boat this weekend. In and out the boat with a sore leg sucks.
I made a safety clip for the 997. It is a CYA just in case I drop the unit in the water when removing/installing when boat is on the water. I remove my stuff overnight. 20 years ago, I would not have to worry about it.
Honey and I went for a little boat ride just to try things out. I had my laptop running and the 997 going. It is awesome. I can find anything (but fish).
I wish all of you could take a trip in my boat so you could see this stuff working. It is really neat.
We rode up to Budweiser beach. Not many party people out. North of BB was a slew of Bassturds in those $40,000 boats. They were watching some bass pro dude fish. Geeez. They had a film crew out making movies. I turned on the sidescan to see what he was targeting. Deep water drop with brush.
I mingled in amongst the Bass boats. Got some hard looks. My bass tracker was a little out of place amongst them big plastic boats, except my gadgets were far superior. You would think someone with that much of a boat would have something more than a X47 on the console. I did pick up my jig pole and shake it at them before I put - putted out of their fish hole.
We fished a little. Got a few crappies and gave them away.
Honey caught bunches of little bass at the boat dock. She also caught a 12-15 lb catfish (guess). She was happy.
We were miserably hot and my leg was throbbing, so we came home. Try again next week.
Just to share,
