[milt]

i launch at the sbh and i go to sturgen point also.captjoe my lowrance 527 doesnt show the us/canada line with the fishing hot spot map card its showsthe line without the card

[captainjoe]

I contacted Lowrance and asked them the question about the US / Canada boarder vanishing when I zoom in. They stated "Since you are not going to be using this HDS-5 in any Salt Water or Ocean
waters, then you would want to purchase either the Hot Maps Premium or Hot Maps
Platinum. The Premium will provide a detailed 2D map and the Platinum will
provide the 2D plus a 3D map as well"
Is anyone using any of these maps? What do you think? Are you satisfied with them?

Fishon51- The only thing that i heard was the last time the lake didn't freeze the fishing was not good that year. I hope that information is incorrect.

ialso read somewhere the fishing is bad when the lake dont freeze

I am hoping the lake will warm earlier and provide better fishing most of the fish are resident fish if not all of them on our end. They still need to eat and spawn so the should be drawn up into the shallows for the start of season. So my thought is its gonna be a good year.

[fishkiller16]

I agree, but it may screw up the thermocline mid to late summer just like this year when the lake got too warm.

[bailey]

Yeah that was nuts warm from top to bottom in a lot of the lake. Its different than lake o for sure to me.

Well winter is here today 6-8" here in North Java so far for the day. We went to the Southtowns Walleye Assocation Installation Banquet last night we had a great time, there was a live band, chinese auctions, silent auctions, open bar, and great food. We will be going every year from now on.

Jim - you were in my neck of the woods yesterday. I grew up across the street from where the Banquet was. As a matter of fact I broke my leg there when it was a roller skating rink. That was in 1974. Are you going to the
Southtowns Meeting on Thursday the 16 th?

[fishkiller16]

yes ill be there, you?

[captainjoe]

I'm going to try to make it. I'm 90% sure.
