Bump!

Selling my Humminbird Helix 5 Chirp Sonar DI GPS G2. I bought this only last Fall and barely used it before I upgraded to a Helix 7 SI this Spring. I wanted the SI capability. It comes with...

Ok thanks Rickie.

So if I tried to use the xhs9hdsi180t on a Helix 7 DI (No SI) would I not get the same DI images I was getting with the Helix 7 SI?

If not I’ll just keep what I have.

I upgraded recently from a Helix 5 DI to a Helix 7 SI. I also upgraded the transducer to the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T. I noticed the first time on the water a huge difference in clarity and picture quality...

I fish from my yak so space is limited. I don't have room for those tubs in the previous posts. I've tried keeping them in the original bags, regular planos, waterproof planos, etc but never found...

Got my girl a pair of these. Thanks for spreading the deal

Looking at ordering some of these. OP- What size is that in your picture? Looks to be about perfect. (And sorry if I de-railed this thread)

Where do you get your screw locks from?

One question I have about the dental floss trick for those of you who use it... Let's say the tail on your plastic gets taken off and it's time for a new one. You remove the body of the plastic you...

Great read and thanks for sharing the knowledge. One question- What is that you're using to connect your main line to your jig? Looks like a snap of some sort? I like how small it is.

Thanks for responses. I think I’ll just bring the unit in the house until I can afford the contour elite software. Not a necessity but sure would be convenient to view lake maps in a big 24” monitor ...

Thanks Rickie. Can I use HB PC to view lake contours and depths also? Or do I need to purchase software like contour elite?

I’m going to try to learn a little bit more about my home lake this year which will mean studying maps, depths, contours, structure, etc. That being said, I’m planning on upgrading my FF to a Helix 7...

Price please on Helix 7 SI DI GPS

Made it out today to try for eyes after dark. Got to the lake early so figured I'd try for some crappie in the meantime. Ended up with only one but a nice one at a little over 11". Caught on a...

Thanks for all the opinions and input everyone. Really helping. Unfortunately there aren't many demo days this time of year so it's a little harder to try out some yaks. I've been doing more...

I'm looking at purchasing a fishing kayak this spring that will be used primarily for targeting crappie in small/medium sized lakes and occasionally the river for smallmouth. I really like the idea...

Fished a couple hours in a few different spots. Landed a couple dinks and followed them up with a nice, fat surprise 22" walleye on a crappie tube. I decided I couldn't top that and left early
:)...

Any reports???

I'm headed to CJ for a few hours after work today. Will be fishing the bank with jigs and minnows. Thanks

Stopped by CJ on my way home from a gravel pit in Urbana. Got 6 dink crappie, most of them in the 6-8" range. Fish were shallow and hitting for just about everyone near the marina walls. I caught...

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to update everyone on how my Spring is going so far. Caught around 40 keeper crappie so far in about 10-15 outings. I think I'm doing alright except that 22 of them came...

Im planning on grabbing a few. Never used them before though. Do you vertical jig them or?

I have a frabill cheap minnow bucket but it works well. I hate lugging the thing around a lake though, much prefer plastics. I use crappie niblets but usually just putm on the tip of the hook. Never...

I did actually just add split shots! Good eye. Thank you!

Thank you. I tried to get as much of a variety as I could.



Thanks you. I had actually thought of getting weedless but forgot so thanks for reminding me! They will be extremely useful. I know...
