Seeing how my phone almost got tail slapped out of the boat whe trying to take some pic the other day, I decided to buy a waterproof camera.

Come across a refurb fuji finepix xp60 on amazon for like $98 but if you fill out a credit app you get an instant $30 off coupon. So $68 with free shipping

Not a bad deal if you can use all the colors - note these are 2.5":

Rattlin' Shad

Academy this week...

Make sure you put a float on it. Waterproof and floating are two different things!!!
(don't ask how I know)

The Walmart in Saginaw has all of their Clearance fishing stuff now marked 50% of lowest marked price. I am nost sure if all Walmarts are doing this or not, but its worth looking. Bought several spools of mono, floro, and braid for $2-5 a spool.

It's tethered around my neck!!!! Just lost a vhf radio that was supposed to float...

Just picked up an Emotion kayak seat with zippered pocket in back for $27.66 marked down from $109 at Cabellas.

elite 4x dsi's on sale at academy

Is this a good finder? $99 is a good price. Is this an upgrade to my current one (Humminbird Piranhamax 195c)?

That is a good price. Hard to say if it would be an upgrade for you. If I am not mistaken it is DSI only where yours is color 2d. Both have their advantages.

It's a good deal. I sure like being able to see the 2-d view and DSI together though.

Just got an email that Hightrails canoe in garland is having a going out of business sale starting this weekend. Liquidating all of their new and used kayaks and accesories. they carry native, and ocean kayaks.

For those of you that want an economical light strip for your yak. Academy in Arlington ( 1101 W Arbrook) has the 26.9" no limits LED lighting strips for $12.99. I know they aren't the best but it's a start for some folks.
