Ky lake bound

Well it sounds like all though we missed out on a good time at the north Ky shindig we didn't miss out on much fantastic fishing. Hopefully them fishes will be getting real hungry by the time we get there on the 22nd. We will be at Big Bear until the 31st. I am thinking in that time frame they should be so hungry they will just jump in the boat to get to the minners. We will be in a blu/silver Ranger 185vs with a 150hp merc XR6. Give us a wave if you are out on the lake and see us. If anyone is around the area that has one of the side-imaging depth finders I sure would like to see it in action. I have ALMOST got the wife talked into one. Everyone have a good day.

Yeah, and when you find him, ask him where the short, fat, bald headed guy, with the black dog is. :D

Ok let me make sure I got this straight. Im looking for a dog with a pony tail, a tall fat man with curly hair, and a bald black man! :D
I will say one thing I am not having much luck getting ready to head down there. I have been using a hand held GPS the last few years down there and have (HAD) several waypoints saved. Was checking out the GPS yesterday and it quit working. Won't boot up. I've tried new batteries and everything. It won't initialize. I know you can fish without one but it sure helps reduce the going in circles time to find the brush piles. I may just have to stop by Gander Mt in Paducah and grab another cheap hand held until I can get the funds for a new HB side imagining.

C&S,
What brand GPS is it? If it has not been on awhile it will take a long time to load satellites especially if you shut it down a long ways off from where you are turnig it on. Be sure you have it outside a long ways from any trees or buildings. Had the same trouble before!

It is a Magellan Sportrak Pro. It has worked great for several years. I took it out in the middle of a corn field and tried to get it to inialize. It gets to the screen that says it needs to inialize and say hit enter. When I do it shuts off and comes back on in about 15-30 seconds and goes thru the whole secnerio again and shuts back down. It just keeps doing this same sequence over and over. My biggest bummer is I have lost my waypoints to many brush piles. We only get down there once a year so its not like we know the lake all that well. But I should be able to get in the general vicinity of them. Just have to make a few extra circles to find them. Some days anyone watching me would think I was drunk out there. Two more days and im there!!!!!

Hey C&S,
Do you still have the manual? I read it online and it sounds like you might be hitting the wrong enter button or the button is not working.http://www.magellangps.com/assets/ma..._series_en.pdf
Bring it with you and let me look at it.I have an old GPS you can use and I might can scrounge up a few waypoints for you. Hate for you to get picked up by the Water Patrol for improper driving!! I hear they are looking for some folks with fruit jars !!PM me your phone and I will give you a call. Hopefully heading down today after a MRI on the old knee!! If Whiskers is still in camp maybe he can look at it also.(lot # 72) He is good at that stuff. Don't bring any fruit jars with you. It could get ugly!

As the old saying goes, on electronic equipment, back the data up. Take on a few moments and saves you a ton of grief. I helped some guys recently back up their wp. One guy said, "I didn't know it was so simple". He only needed and SD card.

Yes I still have the manual. I think I have been using the correct enter button. I only have one that I am aware of. But I am getting older and wife is telling me Im loosing my mind.
Now about these lot numbers. One is telling me lot 73. One is telling me lot 72. hmmmm You guys trying to get me in the middle of a fued or what?
Fruit jars!! It sounds to me like someone had too much FRUIT. Don't remember where they were camped.
I was up on the Mississippi river in the back waters and sloughs a few years back and some of the good ole boys said here try some of this. It was in a fruit jar. They called it swamp water. Somethin they concocked up that tasted like lemonaide. It was a couple miles back down the slough by boat to our campsite. I have no idea how we got back. Since then NO FRUIT JARS FOR ME
Good luck with the knee. Good luck with the fishing. I was checking the weather and looks like maybe Sun-Tue might be a little wet or at least cloudy. I hope so. I think that will make the fishing better.
