Mark, After tonight I am off the next 9 days so I am game for some fishin. I know Lowrance stands behind their products and I love my unit but I am pissed off about this. Almost everyone I know who has one of these HDS units has had to send them back for repairs. I need my unit for this week and weekend and now I"m screwed I'm taking time off from work and I can't enjoy it the way I want to. But maybe its my fault with the voltage problem I had but the thing was working fine after I installed the alternator. My plan was next year to buy another one so I don't have to run split screen but I might just go with a Hummingbird instead.

Congrads and great job!

Great job!

Nice Job! Keep it up

WTG! I never seen the lake this high my self!

Today is a great day to be an American!

There was certainly a lot of trash on the lake Nice job!

I don't know about the enforcement but I don't think insurance will cover you if something happens.

Looking at the spots i would say its an over grown Goby.

Bird fishing! That must have been a great fight! WTG!

Nice job! I wanted to go bad today but I'm stuck at work all night.

Sounds like a smokin hot day! Smilen wes Loven it.

We followed these guys for a half mile laughing are butts off

I worked all night and decided to go fishing with Josh and Steve. We were worried about water levels and debrie. I did not want anything to do with cast park and we all wanted to go to the Cayuga Creamery afterwards so we decided to launch at Deans. Ooops. It was Underwater Wish I would have brought the boots cause I would have launched. So we decided to go to launch after launch for giggles knowing Long Point was are only option. Cayuga State Park and Unionsprings were the same story. Underwater. Dang it hit me no Coffee Milkshake! Could the day get any worse. Got to Longpoint did not take long to launch but when we took off I went to turn my HDS 7 unit on and it would not turn on. After monkening around and checking all the wires and changing power sources decided to give up on it and fish. No GPS. No Navionics. No Depth. No Sonar. Whats worse is after monday night I'm on a 9 day stretch off that I had planned on doing nothing but fish. Walleye opens up the 7th. GRRRR. Anyways. Started rigging the first dipsy and handed it to steve to let it down while I rigged some more lines. As soon as he tighted the drag down he turned his attention to the next dispsy rod that I had rigged wham bam rod started to bounce. I grabbed the rod and Fish on! ZZZZZZZZ Sorry steve 15min later just a little under 7 lb laker I won't lie. I thought it was moby dicks Whale It was a stocky and I threw it in the cooler. Yep I thought it was going to be a good day even with the setbacks. 3 hours later no more fish and no other hits. Must of made the fish gods angry! Really? I started to get a little tired from working all night so I climbed in the cabin closed my eyes and then heard ZZZZZZZ and steve say OH yeah. Then I heard some stomping and Josh say Fish On! I go to my self Really? Opened up the cabin door. Josh and steve have a double. Really! Wait! Who's driving the boat? Steve lost his but as he netted Joshs fish rigger goes off. I grabbed it and handed it to steve and back to driving I go. Next ten min was non stop. Then just like that nothing. Over an hour goes by and still nothing. Ok napp time. Close my eyes. Then ZZZZZ. Really? Steve landed another laker but by the time that fish was in I was out Over all a very slow day but very fun. FYI there is a ton of debrie. From logs, chunks, firewood, parts of docks and much more floating all over. Lots of stuff was very hard to see even at a trolling speed. Take extra caution if you venture out.

The only 2 launches that are not under water that I know of are cass park(Treman) and Longpoint. I drove to almost all of them today and the docks are all under water except these 2.

I will see every on out there. I plan on launching at Deans cove tomorrow morning.

Well I put the alternater in yesterday and it works like a charm. Also, when I took the wires off the voltage reg I noticed the ground was cut off so Oh well. Can't wait to take her out. The recent weather has not been the greatest.

WTG

Wow! Frank outdoors has wonderful prices. It has me rethinking. I was thinking I was going with cannons new dual axis rod holders for my boat but they are a 100 dollars a piece plus the track system. I like the Cannons cause of the one handed operation but 2 berts for the price of one cannon really does have me thinking. Here is a video link of them.

Thats what I was reading! WTG. I got to make a trip to Lake O soon but I don't think I will make it until 2nd week of may.

WTG! Looks like you had another great day on the water WTG PS: How do you boat 17 fish with only 14 hist or is it a trade secret

Nice job Chowder! Glad to see you were able to take advantage of the weather.

Still sounds like a great day. I think you were spoiled those 2 days

If you had the muffs on correctly then yes I would go and buy a new impeller kit. I would change it just for peace and mind.

WTG! This weather has been tough!
