to add..during low water look for downed trees near or in the main channel - anchor and jig or troll over large ones repeatedly. In cold water, target structure in slack water 10+ feet deep. Late...

that's a great picture! I wonder if the chirp will eventually trickle down to the smaller screened units

Download GPS coordinates

download the gpx files then mass import to hbpc...save to card, import from card to head unit

here is how I do it...
if I see something I want to mark I will snap shot it
export that snapshot/waypoint to a card
in hbpc I have groups for bodies of water
move the waypoint to the group...

I have a 5di/gps and love it. Its a great bang for the buck and is extremely easy to use - the DI is clear and reliable. 2d sonar is excellent if you do a lot of jigging. The screen is viewable 99%...

note that a 2g card will not work for chart select if you're planning on purchasing LM maps that way

Reminds me of this:...

I often use the 200/455khz split screen for ice fishing in heavy cover for these reasons

That looks like a great place to fish! I hike into a lot of places and fish around heavy shore cover with a 7', 1 piece st Croix all the time

If you do a google search on that blank you should...

Bushido Spin Jig Rod Blank SJ72/4-8 | mudhole.com

that's a great crappie blank! For guides, I'd put some pac bay minimas on it

If you use HB Chart Select it will write the info direct to the card. I am not sure if it will do that with a Lake Master

that ram is much needed!
BPS has prices listed

Thanks! I have 20 hrs of flights in the next week - this should be a great way to kill the time!

I just use the tach....trim gauge is just more stuff to fix lol My cmc 130 is 20 years old now - never had a single problem with it and still works as good as new

lol no clue! Ulta is a bit faster than 9, however. Works great for ice fishing

Those images are great! I had di running while anchored above a closing dam in an off current chute on the Mississippi over the weekend - had a few bait balls pass under and a few random fish. You'd...

Adjust sensitivity to see your jig first...once you see your jig you'll easily be able to tune out any noise and clearly mark fish streaks. Turn the speed up to ultra on the Helix while vertical...

Or pull them on a 3way, troll tech rig, bottom bouncer, inline egg sinker, etc.

with that boat I'd move the unit from the bow to console as needed. With my console I can simply flip the unit around and see it well enough from the bow to get by.

I've caught some lazy but large bluegills before....its a little odd. Was it a male or female?

What boat do you own?

I finally got one! I released over a dozen bluegills over 9" today while fishing some prespawn staged schools at a little pressured local pond. She smacked a whole red worm on a 1/32 oz chartreuse...

cog is your course over ground...setup a water temp display box for that view :) If you need help I can take screen shots

I don't fish the spawn nearly as much as I pursue crappie during the fall and through the ice in winter

Black background, clear mode, surface clutter off, 455khz for the di - I don't mess with the sensitivity or contrast when open water fishing. Ice fishing - I change everything lol

I haven't been out on the river (17) in a few weeks and haven't heard of anyone doing too well this year on the open water...it should be picking up this next week or so

7" and up - I try to keep mostly females

Those are nice....similar to a northland forage fry and several others. If you take the hook and turn it 90 degrees so it stands perpendicular to the weight, that baby will glide and jig like a...

I've coiled them up like that before while ice fishing and my current bow unit...never had a problem

I have everything in plano 3500, 3600 and 3700 series boxes...the boxes get tossed into the storage in my boat or an old plano tackle bag when fishing from shore
