re: Humminbird Helix 12

[quote]Does your La delta card still work after updating the software?[/quote] Yes, they say the card will get overwritten if you leave it in when you put the software update in. So I took it out and then put it back in after the update. You have to go to the product resources page and do som...

re: Random MS river question

Posted by LSUengr on 7/24/24 at 6:53 am
Its all speculation until it actually happens. If it happened, a shoal would likely form downstream of the junction that would raise the bed of the river. It has been silting in already, which is why in 2011 the river level was higher at Morganza than the old flow triggers would have indicated. The ...

re: GI trout report?

Similar to Choupic. Wife (no pics) and I were there saturday afternoon and sunday morning. Mostly ran from storms, got about 4 decent hours of fishing. Saturday fished reefs in the bay, 20ish fish with 2 keepers. Sunday morning fished rocks on front of island first and caught 10-15 throwbacks. Moved...

Humminbird Helix 12

Posted by LSUengr on 7/23/24 at 10:04 pm
Took over ownership of my dad's boat and it has a Helix 12 that he bought cheap from a family member. He/we never really used it to its full capabilities. Looking at getting a map card for it and wanted some real world advice. Anyone have experience with Humminbird Coastmaster vs Navionics vs Navion...

Do you mean let it flow down the Atchafalaya where it naturally wants to go? Besides all the port issues in NO and Baton Rouge, drinking water would become a major concern for any city getting water from the river. Salt water would overwhelming those systems. Water clarity would improve in MS, but I...

Regulation limiting supply has just as much to do with it as inflation. You can thank your local government and existing residents who don't want development. [link=(https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/05/business/single-family-zoning-laws/index.html)]Zoning Laws Limit Housing[/link]...

Wife has a 2014 that we bought in 2019. She loves it and it hasn't had any major mechanical issues. Just replaced the alternator at 140,000 miles and the rear A/C blower went out at about 120k are the biggest repairs. Office manager here at the office gets a new acadia every 2 years. She loves them....

Caught some nice trout in the surf last Wednesday, water was clean. Wind picked up Thursday and they weren't as plentiful but still caught a few in the surf. Plastics and live bait. Guy near us wade fishing (we were in a boat) had his limit using a double rig dragging it on the bottom on Wednesday. ...

re: Red Snapper Quota

Posted by LSUengr on 6/5/24 at 6:25 am
It is odd that the first week's catch is 5x higher than any other week. I will say though that we were in Grand Isle for opening weekend. Winds were very favorable for going offshore. The island was as busy as I've seen it in the last 2 years. Grand isle marina was full of boats headed to catch snap...
