  1. Tournament’s okay for once a year…for them……hey..I’ll share…seems they are not friendly .. even to each other!.Because of MONEY..they just don’t have to tournament every other week… gettin out of hand.. it’s a sport not a job …only a few good guys making it bad for themselves on the long run.
  2. From a local ?.. It’s easy..just obey the rules of the road,..be courteous and friendly .. act like a local you’ll be rewarded,..It’s a wonderful place..personally there’s been to way many tournaments for my taste…. I wish fishing could remain a sport and not a money contest …

  6. I have a Lowrance, HDS, Purchased 18 mo.ago, The depth kept at times ke!pt going to nothing,..a soft reboot would recover it.,, I sent it back, No warranty of course left (1year),...so a upgrade to replace it was offered to a tune of $799.00, so I sent it back and sure enough it was bad. They do not repair them and I did bite on the new one,".I even had to download the latest version !.!.." I'm not happy with 18 months and down 2 grand..I..just bad luck or .look at Ray marine or?... down the road...
