    humminbird helix

    I spent yesterday in a boat with a guy who just bought the Helix si. It does everything that the bigger units do just in a smaller package. We set it up and got it dialed in and it was just like looking at a smaller version of my 898. Very clear resolution and simple to use. Great price...

    I'm so pissed of right now I don't even like myself................

    I can also relate. I was in a job for quite a few years and at about year 10 I was starting to get groomed for the boss's retirement. Well about a year before that retirement the company went through changes at 6 levels of management and with about 9 months to go until my "promotion" would...

    Scheels Catfish University in Fargo May 2

    I should add that this is the 4th one of these I have done this year so not a rookie any more. I plan to fish 4 days this week so I will have a handle on the patterns by the time this arrives. One should be able to go to the river right from the seminars and catch cats.

    Scheels Catfish University in Fargo May 2

    I get the feeling that there are not a bunch to cat guys on here but still would like to invite everyone to the Scheels Catfish University in Fargo next Saturday May 2. This is a 4+ hour seminar that starts at the beginning with choosing the right tackle for the job all the way to advanced...

    Our "Real Job"

    After 16 years in the TV biz I made the jump to try this guiding thing. When I am not fishing I am writing, promoting, speaking and working on making this whole business work.

    Guiding? Profitable?

    I still really love to fish but I can tell you that on my day off the wind better not be blowing or it better not be raining or I am staying home.

    Guiding? Profitable?

    As a guide there is so much to it besides the fishing. In fact, don't plan on catching all that many fish if you are a good guide. You will be a really great net man though. Most guys think "oh hey I like to fish I can make a few bucks." Well that is not how it works when done right...

    Show off your electronics install

    Yes, I have had some issues with Autochart Pro conversions but I think that was mostly operator error but let me tell you about AutoChart LIVE. It came out as an upgrade for ONIX owners and for a guy fishing an uncharted river it is stupid. I can map out a few hundred yards of river in about...

    What is the biggest Walleye you have ever caught?

    Here it is. I set a tripod up with a camera to ensure I would not be caught without a photo. Usually that means you jinxed yourself but not on this day.

    What is the biggest Walleye you have ever caught?

    I am far from a hardcore walleye fisherman but I have been very lucky. I have managed 5 over 10 pounds in the Canadian side of the Red River and Lake Winnipeg. Last fall I worked the US side of the Red hard and finally got a 30" 10 pound on the nose. I was fishing alone that time. What a...

    Then you are good to go. I know there are a lot of older cards floating around that don't have that. Good luck and enjoy.

    humminbird helix

    I got one of the first Helix units out and modified it for catfishing. It pretty much works just like the other units as far is operation. The screen is really clear and easy to read. The only issue you may run into from your 898 is the Helix takes micro SD Lakemaster. So far very happy with...
