Notes

Images

Keep in mind that I am always looking for images for our newsletter; fish, sunsets, sunrises, other anglers fishing, equipment, anything fishing related. I can use them all.  Large, unedited images are best. Thanks.

Thank you, Jay!

Like an idiot I left my old Lowrance Elite 7 hdi in the boat during a brutal Nipissing rain deluge.  The unit worked fine for a bit, but then the menu  and enter buttons failed.  After drying the unit with a fan for about twelve hours use of the enter button returned.  Without use of the menu button the unit is stuck on a useless screen and is now basically a paper weight.

Since I need a sonar to fish I decided it might be time to purchase a new unit.  I first perused the  Lowrance website and then Hummingbird's.  I literally have no idea what any of the acronyms or  feature names mean.  I felt lost.  I felt inept.  I felt old.

All I really need is a regular fish finder that shows the depth and little clouds of bait and stuff and hooks that might be fish or whatever coupled with a GPS chart plotter that has maps of the Niagara River, Lake Erie and Lake Nipissing.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  If the new units with all of their whistles and bells are the latest and greatest cell phones, I'm looking for a reliable flip phone.

Price is definitely an object.  Let's say my budget is under a grand.

I'll be eagerly awaiting replies while I watch reruns of Matlock and Murder She Wrote.  I wonder if we have any pudding left...

I tried, John. The West Marine fellow grabbed a 54 from a coastal unit and switched it out with the 56.
Damn.. was worth a shot. Lol
