Thread: Lake Allatoona Fish Attractor datafile

Cool idea. Wonder if the Garmin hand held I have would do the same?

Sitting on the sofa keying the handheld was a lot easier than doing so on the boat. I used the sinking boat icons and named the waypoints Ata001 thru Ata038 to correspond to the number system on the DNRs maps at:

Georgia Department of Natural Resources

Some attractors have been illegally moved by fisherman and you may have to search a bit to find the.

I selected the Lowrance H2O handheld because it uses the same menus and the same preloaded cards (Navionics, etc.) as my boat unit and thought I had the best shot at making it work. I think I can transfer the trails the same way but I haven't tested that yet.

Lowrance saves the downloads with a .usr extension. See if that is what your Garmin uses. Even if it is the same, I can't predict the results if you upload my file, but I'll be glad to send it to you if you want to take a shot at it.

Just let me know.

i have something like that it keeps all my points saved for me and i have one for each lake i got too lol its a map
all joking aside a real good map still is the best thing to have even if you have a gps but then again i lived on the coust for a long time when there was no gps and if you couldnt use a map you got lost 0.o lol

Alan I agree. That's why I referred to the DNR maps. They print out nicely and I keep mine in page protectors.

Also, I always carry a paper map. Atlantic Mapping is located just a few miles from my house and I can always get a current copy of their maps in their showroom.

The GPS provides an easy way to locate the spot or locate it if it's been moved.

I know that there is one real good attractor on these maps in this lake and I need to check out more of them.

anouther part of this is toona is my home lake i have been fishing it since i was 2 on my dads knee
so i do what he allways did witch was get the best map he could and mark is up and as good as a gps puts yuo back to a spot i can do that as well with my map but i know the lake like the back of my hand
but once you learn how to realy use a map yuo can do it on any lake and yes i have a gps but all most neaver use it other then to set up trolling lines
