the boat i bought last year came with a LOWRANCE LCX25c sonar/gps unit....... the second trip out the GPS quit working screen said GPS module not responding......... i unhooked and rehooked all wires even dismounted the module from the bow of the boat to disconnect the extension cable....nothing helped

tried to order a new module ( LGC2000 ) was backordered 3 times then was told this model was discontinued BUT could use a newer model (LGC4000 ) with an adapter cable

module is $250.00

cable $35.00

MY question is does this happen often?

just wondering if i should go with the new module or get one of the newer units with the internal ant.

thanks for your input

thanks for the dates..c-ya there

Are the dates set yet for these 3 derbies

IF not could you post them here when they are available

THANKS

if your gonna run dipsys GET the wire

i have only observed in 1 pro-am....oswego in 09...... we are planning on fishing the open div this year......... i've been watching this thread for awhile and dont really understand what difference it makes if a couple boats wanna talk to each other....... we are gonna fish just because we enjoy being on the water and MAYBY will have a chance to make a little money while doing what we gonna be doing anyway...... everybody is gonna talk at night anyway ( weather they give up secrets then is their buisiness )

anyway it just seems to me there is a lot of arguing over something that isnt a big deal

join the open division blugill....help promote that part of it....no observer needed......... fish longer ( at night if wanted) fisn any port ( as long as u make weigh-ins by noon....... ONLY 3 fish needed

i was an observer for team L.O.U.S.E.R.S last year in the oswego pro-am ( 1st time i ever had any thing to do with them )

this year we are gonna participate in the open division in oswego and perhaps sodus ( depending on work )

perhaps you could do something special for the youths involved ( under 16 ) ..... mayby there arent very many BUT i know if i enter a derby somewhere my daughter will be involved

i feel it should include out of staters as they are willing to help our economy.....so three rods might send them home happy and willing to return

3 rods would give a better chance to present different baits/lures/colors on those finicky days when there is a tough bite going on

after spending the money to buy our licenses.... boats.....tackle....fuel......we should be allowed every possibility to catch fish

this is probably another one of those ford/chevy questions

is there a big difference between whole or cut bait or the pesentation of them??

also has anybody here tried the fake bait such as the baitrix baits

thanks for your input
