Many years ago a local tackle shop was shut down for selling stolen goods. The guy was buying new crankbaits from local kids no questions ask. The kids were stealing them from Wal-Mart and other tackle shops. There are dishonest people everywhere.

Very cool baits. Almost to pretty to fish.

Welcome to the forum. Wilson Lake has always been one of my favorites.

They look like very nice boats. Any word yet on when Johnny Morris is going to buy them?

I need to make a correction here. This should read "where the number one ranked basketball Vols play."

Here's another $8 option https://www.amazon.com/Magnolian-Efficiency-Converter-Supply-Waterproof/dp/B00A71E52G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1548274742&sr=8-3&keywords=12v+to+9v+dc+converter

Caught my PB just after sunset and about 5 minutes after my previous PB. It was a good day ?.

This will absolutely work. The only down side is the time required disconnecting and reconnecting at each station and the startup time for the fish finder after each move.

This is just my opinion and I have no way to quantify it. I would say that the difference between a $1000 combo and a $150 combo in terms of fish caught is very near zero. I expect quality equipment to last longer. I appreciate craftsmanship and get some pleasure from using quality equipment but I don't expect to catch more fish using it.

I'm not aware of any way to do what you want to do. I don't think there is a switch that will work with CHIRP and SI models. You can always contact Humminbird to find out for sure.

@Janderson45 Wow you’re correct my math was crazy. Not sure what was going on when I did that. Should be 15.3 ft for 75 degree angle and 8.2 ft for 45 degree. Thanks for catching that.

Yeah. A couple of inches of snow and brutally cold lows in the 20s. It's gonna be bad in Tennessee this weekend!

Ain't that the truth. I think you could spend a lifetime picking apart a 10 mile stretch of KY lake. There's so much interesting structure to explore.

I fish mostly Kentucky Lake and occasionally other middle Tennessee lakes like Old Hickory. I've promised myself I'm gonna head east more to Center Hill and maybe Dale Hollow. I need to get out of my comfort zone more. KY Lake will always be my favorite.

Exactly. It's like someone said, lets do a reality TV show where major league baseball players join the local parks softball league. Then the show was so successful that the major league players decided to quit baseball for good to play softball.

I reached out to Minn Kota via online chat. They referred me to Humminbird online chat. Here is the transcript of that chat. So down imaging will work the same on the trolling motor as it does on the transom. This surprises me. If you're in 10ft of water using the 75 degree setting with the trolling motor facing forward, the beam will be 37 ft side to side and will be about 2 inches front to back. If you're on spot lock and the TM turns 90 degrees, it will change to 37 ft front to back. That front to back view could look very different from the side to side view. If you understand why the screen is changing every time the TM turns, this could provide useful information. If you do not understand, you will probably be calling Humminbird asking what's wrong with your fish finder. On the 45 degree setting, it would be less dramatic (10 ft vs 37 ft). Maybe I'm overestimating this effect. I'm sure some of you have mounted DI transducers on your trolling motor before. How well did it work for you?
