First of all I'll start off by saying that my timing and luck have been terrible this year so far mostly. It seems like ever time I go fishing lately either they were biting the day before or the day...

I just sold my 899 SI and upgraded to a Helix 9 SI. Love Humminbirds! 267680

Nicely done!

Thanks for the report hammann! I haven't had much luck lately. In fact, now I am having problems with my boat motor. Hope I can get it fixed soon!

What part of the lake? I fished Honey Creek last fall and couldn't find any brush on my electronics either.

Thanks for the report! I would have thought the water would be a little warmer. Good to know! Sounds like the best is still yet to come.

Did ok on Macbride Friday. Close to the banks in the brush, jig 2ft under a bobber was what they wanted. Water temp was pushing 59 at the end of the day with the warm wind. Meant to get out and try...

Since I've owned Humminbird units I've had to deal with CS twice. Same experience both times, top notch service!

That's a little bit out of my range but good to see someone posting about other areas of the state. Good luck and let us know how you do!

Got out on Coralville a few times in the past two weeks. I wish I could say the fishing was slow but it wasn't even that good. I caught one small crappie one trip and three on the next. Water temps...

Just heard about this today if anyone is interested.... 265129

I think it would be pretty cool... only problem I'd have is I work Sundays and every other Saturday so it might be tough for me to schedule.

Unfortunately, no. Not a lot of activity on this forum for Iowa even. Would be nice to see more people post on here.

Got out last Sunday to give it a shot. Was a really slow day.. caught one small eater but released it. Caught several bass though. It was very windy, high pressure that didn't help. Water temp 52, it...

Haven't been out on it yet. Hit Macbride the other day for just a couple hours, caught one short largemouth about 28ft deep vertical jigging a spoon. One guy I talked to in another boat had 5 crappie...

Wow that's a pretty good drive from Cedar Rapids! What was the water temp?

I did manage to make it out Friday. Early in the morning there was still quite a bit of ice here and there. By late afternoon most of it was gone. I'm sure it is by now. I was only able to get to one...

Why wait till spring? The lake is open, I drove out and looked at Macbride State Park yesterday. I'm probably going first thing in the morning! I take it you have a boat since you like to troll?

Personally, I'm ready for open water!!

MinnKota is releasing the new models with "Improved Spot Lock". They should be available by Christmas.

The units will share all sonar screens, including giving you the ability to view the SI from your 899 on your 858. They will share everything except map cards (such as Lakemaster). They will even...

I have an 899 HD SI and an 859 HD linked together with my Terrova iPilot Link tm. The transducer in the tm is "ok" for 2D but I have both units set to share the single HD transducer mounted at the...

Coralvile Reservoir near Cedar Rapids, IA. Getting started on a calm frosty morning. 250643

I have a Humminbird 899 and I can tell you this much... I found a brush pile a couple weeks ago on Side Imaging. I rolled up on it and hit it with 2D to get a better look. There were 6 large fish IDs...

Man that is a good deal. Wish I had the extra funds!!!

Thanks! Got a few more nice ones last Thursday before the water started coming up too high

Well it's that time of year again... the fall bite is picking up. Got a nice 14.25" slab off a brush pile last week that got me a master angler certificate... as well as a 13" Black crappie. Last...
