Marcum on ice event

Any feedback from that Marcum on-ice event that was to be held on White Bear? I am shopping for a new flasher, but could not make it to that event. Thanks

James sized up the Hummingbird 55 during the challenge.

I was disappointed to hear he didn’t try a the Vexilar FL-20. It was snowing and blowing like a bugger and having the flat screen would have been nice. They should have fished after dark as well so they could see the Night View modes that Vexilar has. That option is simply AWESOME!. Shallow water fishing and using the Low Power mode would have also been a good test. I guess the only bad thing is people would see all the bonuses that Vexilar has to offer.

Good fishing,

Hey Corey…..We did do a shallow water video demo with the Vex and Marcum….With weather conditions it amazing we got any reviews..I think Vex has the household name well enough not to compare, I think everyone was wondering about the Humminbird units.

This is true Corey, Vex is a large step up over the new Hummingbirds.

We are going to run our own test with the 18,20 LX 5 and HB 55 next month. Should be interesting seeing the 55 next to our other units. I think it will be tough to beat the LX though. So far its top dog against everything but the 55.

Whos planning on being to the next one this coming weekend on Mille lacs? Think I may need to go to this one also. Sounds like a good excuse to fish the big lake.

Mike, when is the next one? Or where can we go to find the dates/locations?

It is this weekend on mille lacs out of fishermen’s wharf.

On Ice Challange

We’ll be meeting at the Wharf at noon and heading out from there. Location will depend on the road/weather conditions.

Bring sleds/otter if you plan on fishing apart from the event, it’s a wintry mess up there!
