Everybody took off work to fish the Bone today

It was noon when I launched --- And I made a little trip checking the shallows but, they are not on the banks yet. Hundreds of people fishing the Flats and the Crappie are as tight Lipped as those seeking them. I guess they don't want several hundred more trucks and boats showing up -- It takes a Shoe horn to get parked now.. Caught a couple of 10 inchers I had a fish that bit like a flounder --- I missed him FOUR TIMES -- Hit and drop it back and hit again - drop back Hit another time -- drop it back and once more it grabbed it. The fish won its meal. There was no thump , or Peck like a bream , Just a heavy straight down pull .. It picked off the nibblets and ate my shiner .. I came up with a pair of Lips from the Shiner -- anyhoo they are deeper than 10 and all I caught were Males

That sounds like a turtle...

Did you get the problem solved with your Hummingbird?

Not Yet Chippa -- Was on the Phone with Customer Service Friday and not real happy with what the Rep. had to say --- He could not find in their Computer the Warranty reg. Feb 5 -- however when I did the upgrade on the transducer Customer service said on Dec 28 that she put the Reg. in effect then -- but there was no record of it happening then ... I had to send them my copies of the Paid Receipt and the E-Mail from Humminbird that the warranty was entered in their records on Feb 5 --- Rite now I am waiting on a return authorization with shipping Labels possibly in the Mail -- Ha ha ha -- It did not come Monday - Tuesday - or Wed,, if it is not here today I am back on the Phone with Humminbird -- I have the name of the Rep I talked to this time...

I made that call again after I came back from town -- Bird dropped the ball and didn't get the auth. for the Helix return. this time the Lady said it aint suppose to do that -- My point exactly... She had us erase the SD card and start over with the download of the software then put the card in again. In Diagnostic the card shows -- but the software will not download into the Helix -- the same with the Navionics card,, it sees it but that is all.. HO-RAHH we got a number for the return and the Unit is Boxed up - tomorrow it will be on its way to Alabama Thanks for asking Chip

Glad to hear you had 1 thing go rite for you for a change. You helped me make the decision to go with the Garmin Striker Plus 7sv GPS.
