You might try these folks 1-800-872-0222. I did a search of firewood near Greenfield and came up with this.

There are several bridges where you can launch and load. How long of a trip do you want to take?

Scott doesn't need luck. He has skill. He's been going down there every spring since he was a pup and clobbering them.

Phil, last winter I ruptured a lung and broke 3 ribs. The lung healed properly. The ribs didn't. Pulling the rope was driving me nuts. I sprung for the Ulterra with I pilot. It was such a relief to be able to stow and deploy with the push of a button. I wish I had done it earlier. I used it for a while and got to reading how much more I could get out of it with I pilot link and a Humminbird so I sold one of my Lowrance HDS units and bought a Solix. I also added the I pilot link. It is so much better than just the I pilot. I have been using the Ulterra since early fall and the link and Solix for a couple of months. I'd do it again in a heart beat. I rarely use the foot control and am getting to where I don't use the remote much as the Express menu on the Solix lets me control it from the screen with just a touch. I like this setup so much that my boat is in the shop having another HDS unit taken out and a Solix mounted in the dash. I use the go to, auto pilot and follow the contour more than anything else.

She is full of eggs. Once she drops a couple of hundred thousand she won't be so heavy.

I know a couple of guys who caught whites Thursday "way up the James" is all I could get out of them.

The only place that I know of is in Springfield. Clear Cast Marine. They have an add here on the forum.

Nice trip. When you say split is that the mouth of Turnback or some other part?

I've fished it for years and I've seen guys run it flat out but I've also seen it low and know where a lot of hazards are. I only run it part way back left of center then pull up and idle on back. I am not mad at my lower unit nor do I have the cojones for that ride.

I am not familiar with that particular model, but I have run Lowrances for many years. Do you have the latest software version? If not then down load it. It may fix your problem. If that doesn't work you can do a soft reset. If a soft reset doesn't work you can back up your data and do a hard reset. Another option is to try a different transducer.

Have you checked the warranty on your keel protector? Mine came loose on my old Champion 206. When I called about it they said it was still under 50% so I got a good break on the price of a new one so I ripped the old one off and put a new one on.

I've had real good luck with Optima blue tops. I had them in my last boat and they have been in my current one for 3 years now and still going strong.

Bait Masters Son Sac Depot the C Store at 160 and 123 near Willard are 3 places you might check.

I saw 42-47 in the other arm but got skunked. I'm heading back to the rock.

Isn't the purpose of lowering the limit so that people will keep them and thus reduce their numbers and the competition with other species?

So if that is the best they can do for a pic it is no wonder that their reasoning for keeping it 15" for so long was that they did not think that the general public would know the difference in a spot and a lmb. Same reasoning for the white, hybrid, and striper 20" deal.

So are you guys going to keep KYs now? I haven't eaten one in at least 20 years. I don't remember what they taste like. At least they don't smell like bull frogs as do the green fish.

I will have to remember that some windy day this coming fall. I have never seen the numbers anywhere else like your little pond had a few years ago. Big T and I broke our personal best record up in the Lindley one day. Back then if we only had 100 in a day we felt like we had wasted the gasoline to drive down there. We used to tie jigs with strange colors to see if we could find something that they would not bite.

Same place for us both. My reference is I was heading up stream in my boat seeing how far above the bridge I could go in my old Champion and it was on my left but that has been a lot of years as I quit chasing them when you had the die off.

You don't need a depth finder to find the cave hole. The cave is up on a small bluff above the bridge. As I remember it, you will find it on the left side of the river not far above the bridge.

If anyone can find them that would be you Scott. Good luck.

Well it is not coming off. The Solix which was to replace it has been put on backorder. It may be another week before it will be available.

I'd also be interested in knowing as I want to fish Son's Creek this weekend.

Lowrance HDS Gen 3 9 touch. Power cord, ethernet cable, and LSS 2 transducer. It being flush mounted I don't have gimbal bracket or knobs. Scott at Marine Repair says he can get them. $900 TYD.

And maybe shingles. I was going fishing on the nice (Monday) forecast until the 60+ mph gusts took shingles off the roof of my house. I was able to line up a crew to fix it but the job couldn't be done until mid afternoon Monday which shot my plans. It is 9 am and rocking here. They say tomorrow is going to be worse.
