how is fishing in buffalo

[captainjoe]

Very well said Bailey. Your right 99 days until the marinas open. Fishkiller Jim - did you see the new HDS Gen2 fishfinders at the shows? Is it that much better? I have an HDS5 and only a few years old and it's obsolete. When I'm out on the lake and get close to the Canadian Boarder I try to zoom in the boundry line disappears. I have to zoom out to get it back. Do you experience this? Do any of the Navionics Maps have the capabilities to show the US / Canadian line when you zoom in? Does anybody have any input?

Thanks,

With the crazy spring that we are having, it is starting to seem unlikely that there will be much ice this year. The forecast is predicting another 40 degree day tomorrow, and more 40's for the start of the following week.

I believe that the lake did not freeze in 2006. How did this affect fishing that year? (NB: I did not have a boat at that time, and I was not fishing much on lake erie).

Is it reasonable to think that we may be fishing in March??

My navionics shows the border contures and depth I like what I have and along with gps can't be beat.

Capt. Joe check which software version it is running there may be an update to take care of that issue. I had some issues with my 27c doing the same thing among some other things and there was an update i uploaded it to a sd card and installed it and no more problems. turn on the unit go to the menu select software version it is running then look on lowrances web site to see if there is a newer software version for that unit. it will also tell you what the updates will fix.....jim

Thanks for the info. There have been many updates for my unit and I have completed them all and I am up to date. Although the same thing happens. I contacted Lowrance and they said something about trying a different software. They did not state which one. I bought my unit at West Marine on Niagra St. in Buffalo. They suggested the same thing but would not commit it any specific type. I was woundering if you ran across the same issue? I wouldn't mind upgrading if I was sure that it would work. $$$$
