Thread: Project "HB Donut"

I really didn't take Dougs post as condescending, it came across to me as another persons view on the donut, albeit a third persons view. There is no doubt a problem, but as someone already posted, "one mans trash is another mans treasure".

Read through it again please. He consulted Charlie as an "expert" and you should go to his seminar, so you can see how he uses it. The donut won him the points race?

Maybe I read it all wrong, but you've got all these Non-experts over here on Crappie.com, but I seriously believe that the one "expert" opinion is all Doug needs. I don't know if the buntings are also sponsored by HB, but to me it really seems like if you are, your ability the speak freely is gone. IMHO.

Well, the expert was stated most of us "rush" and our complaint is slow trolling. Maybe a misguided soul then. I don't believe .2-.4 mph is rushing things.

This is NOT Humminbird's statement but a conversation with someone I personally knows that has been very successful Spider Rigging and One Poling for Crappie. I wanted his opinion on what was happening and he opened my mind to a different way that he uses Humminbird GPS.

I have personally forward your request and concern to Humminbird and I know TMike and Greg has too. It's been heard and will be reviewed. That's all I can do but thought some might like to learn how someone else takes advantage and uses the information to be successful. I'm going to give a try for Bass Fishing!

Chaunc, have you ever been able to drive up on a brush pile or stay on a brush pile using the "donut" as suggested? I gave up on it.

Can't make this run with a donut. I usually run this ledge at.4 mph. bout 1/2 mile long.

They fix the donut Mr. Doug, I will hook my HB back up. That is all I have ever complained about. I know how to use the stuff.

One important point I'd like to make here, whether you agree w/ Dougs post about the Buntings use of the donut or any of that....We have made progress. At some point we started talking about the donut as something that everyone accepts as a "real thing", not just some figment of us crappie fishermen's imagination.

It's like they say in rehab, you gotta admit you have a problem before you can cure it. We are finally at the point where everyone across the board is accepting that the donut is real - whether it bothers you or not, it does exist. Now let's get together on getting it fixed!!
