SUCCESS !! Thanks

Thanks NB, I did this years ago on my old LMS-320 and once I got it setup the way I wanted I never had to repeat the process. But as soon as I saw you post about USR files it all came back to me LOL It's strange I could not find a subject on importing USR files in the HDS manual??? Again, thanks.. And tight lines.

OK, I have a handful of five's, who do I call????

I need some help with importing routes from my laptop to a HDS-7 Gen2. I'm using Navionics NavPlanner-2 software to create routes, save them to a SD card, and try to upload them to my HDS-7. I can't find any mention of importing routes (*.rte files) in the HDS-7 menu's, users manual, or online a Lowrance.com. I find no mention of "importing" anywhere; I can't believe Lowrance droped the feature. I knew how to do this on my old LMS-320. Help!!!

I don't have a good understanding of the Snakeheads reproduction rate, I've read that they lay fewer eggs than other fish, and like other fish they protect their young. But we both know how a nest can be overwhelmed by other fish. I would like to see a better feeding study done between the Snakehead, Bass, Catfish, etc. to see who is feeding on what throughout the year; and have the study conducted along the entire tidal Potomac as food sources change from area to area in much the same way the grass beds and bottom composition do. I haven't caught a Snakehead yet this year, but I'm looking...... P.S. I believe that throughout nature as the food source dwindles so does the offspring's.

From my reads, territory and population within an area (or levels) are two different subjects, and are similar throughout nature. When a new species is introduced into an favorable area their population will increase. As this occurs the available food source of choice will start its decline, and depending on its reproductive abilities may be depleted or attain a maintainable level; and based on the available food, the new species population will level out to what the food source can support in any given area. Expansion of a species into new areas can be driven by several things, i.e. the search for food, over population, environmental issues, human intervention, or just a natural wanderlust. Any species has a naturally strong survival instinct that will drive them to adapt to the environment given enough time and resources. Therefore, given enough time, I see a day when the Snakehead will be found from its max cold limits to the north on down to the gulf, Fla, and west to Calf, Mexico, and South America due primarily to human intervention. I believe the only thing that can stop them will be a catastrophic disease to the species in a given area. The spread of the Snakehead can be modeled from the historical records of the spread of the Black Bass.

Which Pro-Tec product are you talking about for the Gel Coat? I have a trailer finder that looking dull.

Found this on WTOP.COM (a Washington, DC news org) today and thought you might enjoy it. There is also some interesting links at the bottom of the story. http://wtop.com/546/3598721/River-Monsters

It took me a minute or two, but I get it.....

Please excuse the four-letter words toward the end of the following story. *I would have deleted them, but the story wouldn't be the same. * A young couple got married and went on their honeymoon. When they got back, the bride immediately called her mother. "Well", said her mother, "so how was the honeymoon?" "Oh mama", she replied, "the honeymoon was wonderful! So romantic"... Suddenly she burst out crying. "But, mama, as soon as we returned, Sam started using the most horrible language. Things I'd never heard before! I mean, all these awful four-letter words! You've got to take me home!! PLEASE MAMA" "Sarah, Sarah", her mother said, "calm down! You need to stay with your husband and work this out. Now, tell me, what could be so awful? WHAT four-letter words?" "Please don't make me tell you, mama," wept the daughter. "I'm so embarrassed, they're just too awful! JUST COME GET ME, PLEASE" "Darling, baby, you must tell me what has you so upset. Tell your mother these horrible four-letter words" Sobbing, the bride said, "Oh, Mama...., he used words like: *"DUST, WASH, IRON and COOK ...* "I'll pick you up in twenty minutes," said her mother.

I could use a LARGE bottle of them, what's the Vets name????

You got it..........

Never met the gentleman, but he can fish on my boat any day.

Beware of the length of a guard if you have a in-hull transducer in the rear of your boat. I had a Keel Guard by Megaware installed that was too long and it produced cavitation bubbles that interfered with my depth finder as I gained speed. I contacted the manufacture for help and they referred me to Hamby's because they do more bass boats; their both good friends and work together on many subjects. As it turned out I had to cut several feet off to correct the problem. I believe the guy that ordered and installed the Keel Guard ordered a guard intended for a pleasure boat, not a bass boat. If you look at the link South FLA provided above, a Beaching Bumper is out of the water when your on plane and therefore not a problem. Through many Forum discussions I found that most dealer installed guards on Rangers are Beaching Bumpers. Good luck on your guard....

Like you said, it depends on the vegetation. I let the area of vegetation tell me what I need, I want a weight that will punch through, but not fall too fast. Actually, I target holes in the vegetation most of the time just so I can use a lighter weight that will allow the bait to float to the bottom. I also at times let the wind carry my boat into the vegetation so I can flip new holes. Rarely do I over extend my casts where I'll need to drag a fish far through the grass or have to go chasing after it, I believe it spooks nearby fish and kills the area.

I’ve been fishing alone for far too long and would like to find someone who would like to join me. I live in the Waldorf Maryland area, fish the Potomac out of Mattawoman Creek, and primarily fish during the week to avoid the weekend crowds. PM me if you’re interested.

Next time you do this, let me know; I'll come over and make sure she stays tied up

Here's some breaking news - - - - - The Charles County Government has just changed the name of the Snakehead in order to make it more appealing to people as a food fish - -- - - - - "Thanks to my colleagues, county staff and the hundreds who participated in making this contest a great success. The winning entry comes from Gilbert C., who heard about it on WTOP Radio. The winning name is…Spotted Channa! Channa is a genus of the Channidae family of snakehead fish. The winners will be honored at a Spotted Channa Tournament that will be held later this Spring on the Mattawoman Creek at Smallwood State Park in Marbury." Don't believe the name will ever catch on though it will confuse a few people for a while....

I wonder what grade he's using, and I didn't know that craft was a multi-full vehicle? Cheep gas can ruin anybody's day. But at least he knew to chock the wheels and use ground strap

An elderly man goes into a brothel and tells the madam he would like a young girl for the night. Surprised, she looks at the ancient man and asks how old he is. 'I'm 90 years old,' he says. '90?' replies the woman. 'Don't you realize you've had it?' 'Oh, sorry,' says the old man. 'How much do I owe you?'

Two young businessmen in Florida were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new store in the shopping mall. As yet, the store's merchandise wasn't in -- only a few shelves and display racks set up. One said to the other, "I'll bet that any minute now some senior is going to walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we're selling." Sure enough, just a moment later, a curious senior gentleman walked up to the window, looked around intensely and rapped on the glass, then in a loud voice asked, "What are you selling here?" One of the men replied sarcastically, "We're selling a***oles." Without skipping a beat, the old timer said, "You must be doing well. Only two left." Seniors -- don't mess with them. They didn't get old by being stupid!

I told a neighbor this same thing once, her reply was "Great ! I'll be waiting" All I got was blisters on my hands from trimming Boxwoods

Girl: 'When we get married, I want to share all your worries, troubles and lighten your burden.' Boy: 'It's very kind of you, darling, but I don't have any worries or troubles.' Girl: 'Well that's because we aren't married yet.'

What is this an endless loop? the joke is we watched it..... ( I used fast forward )
