November 4,2011 Red Cedar River in Menomomie.41 inches. 1\8 ounce H2o precision jig with a ringworm.

You will see great deals everywhere on most HDS units and great rebates as Lowrance will be coming out with Second generation Hds units next year. Good deals everywhere this fall!!

Just FYI the X67 ice machine is now 199.99 while supplies last in Eau Claire at Scheels. I think the other Scheels stores should be at that price too.

Yes,the Lakemaster chip is brand specific. You will also need to update your HB if it was not a new unit that you purchased this year. HB has free software update so older units are able to run new Lakemaster chips.

Eau Claire Scheels will have them soon!! Can’t wait.

Yes, the Elite 5 is agood unit if your simply looking for an easy to run gps-locator. Lakemaster Wis chip would be the chip you would need to buy for the St Croix river.

We are editing the video that we filmed yesteday and will be running a video at the Scheels store in Eau Claire. We plan on sending BK acopy and he will post in 10 days or so. Some facinating video.

First make sure your H20 is in the Advanced mode. Then hit menu once , scroll down to map data and hit enter. Then scroll down to map choice and hit enter again. You can than select area you want to open. Highlight that area and then exit out until you get back to the map page. You cannot have all 5 states visible at once.There are several files for each state. for example NWMN stands for Northwest Minnesota. Good luck!! I don’t think there is anything wrong with your GPS or chip.

Some Scheels stores do …. unfortunately we can’t get product until mid January. We found a couple LX3’s for one cust. at 349.00. LX5’s are going for 449.00 at Scheels in Eau Claire.

James would be correct. Endura will at some point take Navionics or Lakemaster micro chips. Right now they do not. Once again waiting for software update for Lowrances new units.The big question is when? Could be a while knowing Lowrance.Might be worth your time to get another H2O. You might find a good deal right now.

So Mr Marble Eye…..if I were to pony up a tootsie roll,could we bribe you into telling us what the “hot” color was? /quote] It will probably take a bigger bribe than tootsie rolls! Just kidding. Actually it’s no sercret on color firecracker chart. Paddletail that is. Seems like they wanted paddletails so that’s what we fed them!!

Caleb,congrates on your big sauger!! It was fun fishing with you and your dad on Saturday.let’s do it again soon.

Regular retail this year looks like $449.99. Just F.Y.I. Scheels will be retailing them at $399.99 until supplies last.

I took advantage of the front coming in Thursday and Friday with an awesome walleye bite here in Menomonie. Big fish 27″. Sounds like Monday could be intesting too! Very little snow here, just cold.

Where exactly were you?

There are two dams near Menomonie take your pick! You need waders.Saturday evening was a good bite also. Big fish was 22″.

These are the retail prices I am seeing on new strikemaster augers:

2.5 HP 8″ auger- 439.99

2.5 HP 10″ auger 449.99

3 HP 8″ auger 469.99

3 HP 10″ auger 479.99

These are current retail prices at Scheels. I think they are very competive prices from what I’ve seen.

James, thanks for ALL of your work in making this trip possible and go so smoothly! You even had perfect weather for the trip.Thats what I call cool. I had the chance to fish with Joel and Grey Beard and enjoyed every minute of it.Everyone worked together and the food and fellowship was great. I think I ate enough Bacon to last for the rest of this year! Thanks Joel for letting me fish with you,hope we can do it again.

I know like myself many of the walleye guys have not fished Menomin much this year. I think the winter kill was worse than we think. Most guys are fishing other lakes.I don’t fish Menomin after early July because of poor water conditions.

Joel very interested in hitchn a ride with you to the GTG.
Dwight

It looks like the Lazer Mag Pro will be $480 ,that is the 2.5hp 10″. The 8″ will be a few dollars less. Scheels in Eau Claire will carry the 2 & 2.5hp Lazers.Everything I’ve heard is they cut twice as fast as the old lazers!!

I don’t know if lowrance will send you one, but you can get them at Scheels. If you live near Eau Claire stop in at Scheels and I will give you one or two. Just ask for Dwight.

Yes you can buy just the auger. They run anywhere from $100 to 175 depending on make and size.

Yes,you need a S cable. Cuts your power in half. If you have an FL 12,18 OR 20 they come with a low power setting just for that kind of a situation.

Scheels in Eau Claire carries chena bait every ice fishing season.Some people really like it and wouldn’t go fishing without it. It’s hard to find for late ice fishing season so get it now if you want to try it.

Scheels in Eau Claire has them for anyone looking for them in that area.$24.99

You can now get a camera that takes photos and does video clips.From what I have seen I wouldn’t spend $500 on a Wildlife eye when you can get an excellent digital camera that does both for $200-$300. Moultry has 2 new ones that you need to check out the I40 and 60.Both of these take photos and video clips up to 30 seconds.Excellent quality and they are no flash at night too.
Good Luck!

It is my understanding that the Avid and Tournament Bass rods are being revised.They are on sale at Scheels in Eau Claire also.

I haven’t seen or heard of anyone having Mapcreate 7 yet.Talked with Lowrance on Friday and it sounds like it should be available after March 16th.We should have them at Scheels in about 2 weeks.

OOPS,
I meant Rino 530. Same CD!

To my knowledge the CD from Garmin is the only thing available with lake maps for your Rino 130. It is called Recreational Lakes and you will want to get the Central region.Retail is $100. You need to download each lake through your computer.Go to garmin.com for more info.
Good Luck!
