I have "floaters" in both that are just about the size of a Bay Cat. Over the weekend, I lost the "eyes" on the front of my boat when my LCX-17M "flashed" twice and "popped" once and went dark. Trying to fish without depth, water temp and GPS waypoints is really tough... On a positive note, my wife and I did "see" Adrian Zeimet yesterday from the water, and he is looking and sounding great. He was looking over his son, John's shoulder, telling him how to service a lower unit--almost back to normal, and we are certainly glad for that. We had a nice visit and catch-up session, and having known Adrian for over 20 years, he is almost back to his old, story-telling self! Gary Hollander p.s. If I can't see it, then it didn't happen...

We have had a lot of rain, with water rising, and debris floating, but the bass are moving shallow, and getting ready for the spawn. It takes about 2 hours (at least for me) to get a 5-fish limit, and the weights have been picking up each day (from 14lbs to just shy of 20lbs today). I have only caught one with a bloody tail, and that was a 4lb Kentucky (spotted bass) I caught yesterday. The presentation has changed a little for today, as the colder air and rain is affecting the females a little more. However, the same bait has been working for me, and it is made by Lake Fork Tackle. My buddy, Bart Almli, will know the one I'm talking about, if he reads this. Since no one responds to my posts anymore, I'll keep the rest of the details for anyone who contacts me off-line...

One of these days we need to hook up down there. I've got a little place on the Gravois, but just can't seem to get off work much these days. I did manage to land a 7-12 down there 2 weeks ago though!

Been out the past couple days, got a few fish nothing to write home about. The Smallmouth are starting to move up, the 2 that I cought yesterday were both 4lbs+. Going to need at least 3 more of them for next weeks Tourny. Wish I could be down there helping you put together those 20# sacks. Better yet, send me one up for next Saturday LOL

BoBo, anytime you want to fish, give me a shout. I'm at the 31MM, but love the Gravois Arm and Northshore, especially in the springtime. Bart, both colors are working well; must be the extraoridnary design and action they impart! Judd, I call them as I see them. Adrian has over 30 years with Mercury and 20+ selling Bass Cat Boats. If I wanted to be psychoanalysed, I'd post on Dr. Phil's website.

The "replacement" unit arrived about two weeks later, and when I installed it on Friday, it only had 1/2 of the screen display this time. So the problem is not fixed. This is the first bad experience I've had with Lowrance, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Of course, I have to send the "replacement" unit back and start all over again... Gary Hollander

Actually it was the same unit (serial number) and they refurbed it again. Anyhow, it works great so far, and has a 1yr warranty to boot. Staying with Lowrance and lovin' it... Gary Hollander

I went out this morning (6:00am-8:00am), before writing that last post, and had a nice limit in about 1.5 hrs on a mojo-rigged lizard. I tried a little different color scheme, as there are lots of fishermen everywhere. I used a watermelon lizard and dipped the tail in orange dye; they are seeing plenty of green pumpkin with chartreuse tailes! I also went up the Magnum size (8-9 inches). I caught them all in my cove in Linn Creek; didn't even have to start the Merc, just used the Trolling Motor. I'm just about out of gas and am holding out on filling my 4 5 gallon cans... Let me know when you are coming back down. Gary Hollander

The replacement quit working this morning; same problem as before. Half the screen goes blank. After waiting on hold for almost 45 minutes, I gave up and left a message--I told the namelass voicemail that I want my $212.45 back as the problem hasn't been solved. I won't post anymore about my problem, unless, of course, they give me a refund. I've been a fan of Lowrance for over 25 years, but this is getting me to reconsider alternatives that I previously would never have given a second thought to. Signing off... Gary Hollander
