Re: GARMIN ECHOMAP UHD 95 SV ???

I bought the echoMAP CHIRP 95sv when it came on the market a few years ago. Retail price $1749.99 at Sail. Nice unit, and very user friendly. It quit on me In May 2019. Guarantee is now expired. Their service rep in Lavel said it would cost $190USD to replace it. Delivery time two to three weeks. As...

Re: 31 Mile Lake Boat Launch

Hi Emerald Pirate, Concrete ramp with small stone gravel at bottom and top. Very clean. Lots of room to turn around and back in. Aluminum & plank dock off to one side to tie on to when you park your truck and trailer. You can tell gravel is trucked in. Lots of weeds past the launch but you will ...

Re: Opening day laker action

You and your folks had a really good day. Like your folks, I was old school! Heavy rod, lead core and gang trolls. Now jigging or trolling with lighter equipment is the way to go. You guys had a real good day. Congratulations.

Re: Kipawa, antler''s kingfisher lodge, bisctasi, lady evely

Yes Smitty55 I have. The first few times with Brian's (from Alwaki) boats then later with mine. Its a good rush going through that pass. Brian explained it exactly as you say. Wide open throttle and stay dead center going through the pass and you'll be ok. On another occasion I also went through Lac...

Re: Fishing Lodge Recommendations!

I've been to most of them on Kipawa. Started going there in 2005. Alwaki is very good. Probably the best bang for your buck. Nice cabins, good people. You won't regret it.

Re: Sunscreen VS Helix 7....Any solutions??

I hate to say it but its likely there for good. I did the same thing to my minn-kota trolling motor. It was new! just out of the box. Goes back a few years now. Prior to that I did the same to an inexpensive rod. It took me a while to learn!!!! It (insect repellant) eats into anything plastic. But y...

Re: Chirp Technology

I'am thinking Chirp may not be all that it is hyped up to be unless you get the expensive transducer. I'am leaning toward the Helix 7 DI. It does have Chirp and comes with the regular transducer. If later on I can justify the additional cost, then I can get the special transducer. I looked at a Heli...

Chirp Technology

Would like to hear from anyone who has changed from regular sonar to chirp sonar. Lots of write-ups on the web speak well of Chirp. Has anyone on this board made the upgrade. I have a Humminbird 787 that I bought 8 or 9 years ago. I fish lake trout. Have fished with others in their boats with regula...
