  1. I have not fished any tourneys yet but I will this year. I just couldnt compete with a charter boat so it would be like me throwing away $90. The simple fact is that the shear number of fish they will catch assure them on better odds. I may only make it over there 8-10 times a year where as they are out 3-5 days a week.

  2. My HDS5 lasted 1 hour in a light rain and shut off. After finally getting a hold of CS they told me it was probably water intusion in the card slot. And they would have to see the unit to see if it was warranty or not. It was warrantied but it took them almost 8 weeks to get me a new one. That on lasted about 3 weekends and had a water intrusion problem. Same place. This time the CS rep told me the unit was not intended for a boat like mine. I was so POed I just hung up and sent the unit with a copy of my reciept and about a 4 page letter about my experiance and how i will never by another lowrance unit.

  3. I started fishing the bay with dumb luck and was never skunked once, I started moving if we didnt get a hit in 30-45 min I found that it rarely took more than 5 or 6 moves to find a produtive spot. Now I start on structure that I mark during the summer and I m rarely on the bay more than 5 or 6 hours.

    For safety if you dont feel safe crossing a crack where someone else did dont find another spot. I routinley see quads with a set of wheels stuck or boged down in the slush that work up thru the cracks.

    Good luck Steve
