All I can say is WOW!

If anyone is curious about the bass fishing in eastern Lake Ontario or the St. Lawrence River, go look at the results of last weekend's Thousand Islands Open held out of Kingston!

Insane weights, looks like the bass fishing is better than it ever has been!

You can look at as many as you'd like, all I know is that chances are pretty good that they're going to be wrong! LOL

If it is a Navionics+ Regions card, on your HDS unit, you should be able to go to "Chart Options", select "View" and then select "Fish'N'Chip! As long as your card is updated it should provide you 1-foot contour lines. The Navionics+ card is one that I'm used to, I was just wondering what kind of details and features some of the other cards had. Thanks Todd B.!

Thanks Todd! Great to hear from someone who is running 3 different mapping options! I assume that you have the SonarCharts on the Navionics card turned on? Thanks for the input!

What mapping chips are people using in eastern Lake Ontario? Pros & Cons of each?

This year has been very different but if this is a trend that you're noticing over several years, I would look at the combination of Gobies predating on Smallmouth nests along with the growing Cormorant population! Cormorants can eat up to a pound of fish every day and Smaller Smallmouth makes up a large percentage of this.

Yeah, possible bent prop shaft which could cause your lower unit to go! Best to get it checked out!

Used many NK's when I salmon fished on Lake Ontario back in the day! Still, own a fair number of them. Thompson-Pallister Bait Co. Ltd. is a quality company that I'm sure does a great job keeping them as close to the originals as possible.
