    Question Kentucky hydrografix????


    Hey guys. I just got my first boat:D, and I was thinking about buying some of the Kentucky Hydrografix maps. I was wondering if it is easy to use and if it is helpful? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

    Excellant product! You will not find a more helpful person than the company owner. Ask "Canepole" about the product.

    This product is excellent. You can find and mark areas on your computer and put them on a MMC card and then upload them onto your gps. I marked several and they were dead on when I went to locate them.

    You can create waypoints, and with the contour lines you can find out how deep the structure is if you know the current lake level. You can create trails and weave your way through a row of stumps and then follow it on your fish finder or gps whichever you have. I have the Lowrance LCX 38C and use the split screen for GPS and sonar. It works great.

    Default I agree

    Yep what they said GREAT Product. Its nice to sit at home on the puter go over the maps, plot waypoints on the edge of creeks or drop offs or bends what ever. Download them to your GPS then when you get to the lake you can go right to the spots you wanted to try. Then after you precisily mark brush piles or ledges on your GPS you can then down load them to the maps. There are many things you can do with those maps and a GPS. AWESOME tool to have. I don't have one of the fancy fish finder GPS combos. I just have a hand held gps but it works great and it plugs right into my puter for uploading and downloading waypoints. 95% of the time it will put me right back on my waypoints. And I do mean right on top of the brushpile.
    Crappie spawning and morels popping up at the same time. What was God thinking when he made that schedule. It's pure torture every spring deciding which to do.

    Totally agree with everything said in the previous posts. I think it is the BEST product going for learning the lake. I could barely turn the computer on when I bought my first disc and I was able to figure it out. The guy who put these together ( Pat Hahs ) is very helpful with any question you might have.
    Usually during the Winter, he holds seminars at various boat shows (Murray, KY for sure) and demonstrates his product and how to use it. It's like having a fishing guide in your computer!!

    Here is the website you are looking for.

    Kentucky HydroGrafx -- Kentucky and Barkley lake maps

    The maps are great and look forward to spending the cold nights of winter parusing map after map putting game plans together for every situation possible. These maps have the ability to help help you prepare for all possible situations on the water. I have waypoints for just about any wind direction I may face and that is a big advantage.

    Enjoy,
