Re: Humminbird question

I would recommend to have the GPS puck as close to the transducer as possible. Otherwise your waypoints will be off up to 25-30 feet.
There are also possibilities to mount the transducer without drilling holes into the boat (f ex mount it to a ram mount).

Terrible start into the week

Woke up from a dream where I was showing up at the ramp at 7am for the WON Open and didn't even have my gear with me.
Feel better now that I realised it's only Monday and you can be sure I'll be ready early on Wednesday (including gear :D )
Happy Monday and tight lines,

I also don't see a problem with what you did. You didn't try to talk him out of a guided trip or bash the guide. You just offered to help him out and get him on the water.

Re: Clearlake Chamber tournament( Holder Ford)

I have no doubt that 30 and maybe 40 pound bags are going to be caught but I'm not sure why we have to schedule the probably 2 biggest multi day tournaments within a week and have 100+ boats fish competitively 5 out of 7 days! So you can bet that the overall numbers will suffer. Also for some angler...
