I've never met DH, but he seems like a stand up guy! Always helping everyone. He's always got a place on my boat when he wants to go.

How do you access lakemaster maps on your computer? Am I s.o.l because I bought cards vs the downloads?

Donald seems like a 100% legit good guy. I have bought some scents from him in the past and should buy more items from him.

cheers

Yeah no kidding. I cuoldn't believe how big it was. Maybe my scale is not calibrated; I'll call it a 10 until it gets calibrated smile


One 10-pounder is better than ten 1-pounders; but 100 1-pounders is ok too!

Hi Jeff:
I'm not sure why you'd need to. The Navionics is free access on Navionics site. If all you're looking to do is use Google Earth to do trip planning with waypoints and paths, you can use Navionics screen captures that can be imported into GoogleEarth to drop those waypoints. I guess you'd see some differences between the Nav and Lakemaster chips, but it will get you close enough and you can make adjustments on your fishfinder after you import. Let me know if you need help with this.
Tim

Back in December of 2017 Mr. Harper did some map work for me for Lake Fork. I caught this one the first day using it. It's my PB at 10.96.


I started using his bladed jigs and caught this one March of 2018 on Joe Pool. It was over 25" long and weighed 10.02.


The proof's in the pudding...
