Fabricator

Thank y'all, I've thought about it and will go with the 999 which I will try and mount in the dash. I may even create a fiberglass mold if it doesn't fit, just to keep things looking clean and streamlined. Still planning on the 360 up front, and I'll sit down and fabricate a mount for the "radar". I'm thinking a clamp with some bearning's inside so the iPilot can turn without the Hummingbird being disturbed, who knows if it will work until I get my hands on it, and a drawing board.

My main plan is to burn up the shallows, then again I would love to sit a little ways out, so I can fish earlier and later into the year. I'm sure if I sat down for a few hours I could fabricate something for the "radar" mount. So I've narrowed it to the Hummingbird 899si in the dash, and 360 up front. I should be able to link the 899 with the iPilot right?

I change between Oakley "titanium polarized" on really bright days and "blue ice" on partly sunny or overcast.

Maybe I'm just being lazy for wanting a iPilot, just thought I would be much easier to troll along contours, and focus on just fishing. In all fairness the only reason I've considered the 360 was, is that it can scan the front half of the bow. I'm just at a total loss for what is the best bang for the buck on the bow end.

Thanks Slone

Oakley's for me, Hijinx with blue ice lenses. However I'd love to invest in some Costa's, best glasses money can buy.

Nintendo Black Bass Xbox 360 Minecraft and rapala Mostly play on the ipad now, BPS fishing game, and saltwater kings. I fish therefore I rarely play a fishing video game, mostly racing sims, like Forza 5 and iRacing

First please forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject, but that would be why I joined these boards anyways. I'm in the market for a new boat, I'm looking at a nitro,skeeter, or maybe even a bullet, I hope to get some feedback on boats as we'll to gps/sonar. So far I'd like to add a Minn Kota with Ipilot, and I'm trying to figure out what gps I should pair with it to get best results from this. Also I would like to add the new Hummingbird 360 scan on the bow, with gps/sonar in the dash. First what should I look for in a dash mounted scanner, and Second what are the pros/cons to the differ t brands. Last but not least could some point a video out to help reading the bottom composition/fish on sonar?

They're not spawning yet, after the snow we got the water temps are hovering around 39-42 degrees. It's still very slow fishing here, and I doubtful the pre-spawn will start before mid march now.

I'll put it like this, I was in a near fatal car crash when I was just 18. Car flipped a few times, well I ended up puking all over myself, and some other bodily function as well. Ever since then I've kept a spare set of clothes and towel in my truck. Can't tell you how many times I've had to change clothes from weather, or mud.

Way to many lakes to narrow to one, just depends on which one is near you. I prefer falls for my smallies

For trick worms and finesse worms, both regular and magnum I Texas rig them. I started with these, and really are still my goto bait, espailly at night. As far as colors here's what I have in my box right now. Plum, watermelon candy, black, green pumpkin, pumpkin seed, black with blue. I like using watermelon candy and black at night, usually trick worms in both magnum and regular sizes for night time. Hasn't failed me yet. Hope this helps

We made all Michelin Aircraft tires, and retread tires. I miss the heck out of that place, pretty sure my tool box has been gang raped by now.

Michelin US-11 Mold Technician, until July 2013- ruptured the Lower disks in my spine, and tore half the muscle as well. So currently on Workman's Comp, and very ashamed to admit this somedays.

Medium power, fast action with Berkley vanish 10lb fluro. I've been using a two tome craw, paired with gamakatsu 2/0 EWG. I even like the anaconda worms rage put's on the market. Those are fish finder's, Bass will just inhale it.
