H'bird weathersense

Is anybody getting any good out of one of these? I've got one on my
787, the freebie deal - buy a 700 series, free weathersense.

I can't really make heads or tails of it, seems like it's forecast is wrong
most of the time :confused:

The pressure history on it always look like a wave when I get to the lake -
I'm wondering if the changes in elevation I see on the drive are messing
with it's head. I know my house is around 500', and Sunday I took hwy
4 below Bay Springs dam, around 350', and ended up nearly an hour later
fishing on Little Bear which is around 620'.

Maybe I would get more useful info out of it if I turned the "sampling" off
and just let it start reading when I'm on the lake?

Anyway, glad I didn't pay for it ;)

I agree with the last statement.

Thanks for the reply Joby, do you mean you agree with
"turn the sampling off" - or the "glad I didn't pay for it"? :)

Did't mean to be fussing over a freebie, just thought somebody
might have some ideas to help me use it better.

Hey J White, just stick your head out side and if it gets wet it is raining. If your nose is blistered then the sun is out. If you are going fishing it doesn`t matter.:D:D

Hey dude, I hear you. If I'm off work, I'm going no matter what.

Another do nothing gadget made in China?:rolleyes:

Cane Pole I will have to disagree with you. Unlike many of our competitors our products are Designed and made right here in Eufaula Alabama. Even our Customer Service and Service Department is done here in Eufaula. We can really say the product is Made in the USA.

We even have a three day turn around in our Service Department if you have a problem with the product. It is hard to beat that.

J White I would turn the sampling off.

How come my Humminbird RF 30 says Made in China then?

Cane Pole

You got me on this one. I forgot about the RF 30. The bobber is made here. Everything else is made here.

My hats off to you............................

If the sensor was on and you were traveling some where, it would read the different pressures as you went up and down hills, kind of like an air plane altimeter I think, but it does have its uses on the lake. One of the main thing I'd be watching is what the short term trend, especially if I was a pro fishing in tournaments. These guys have it down to different patterns they fish for different weather scenario's. If the pressure is dropping the fish are likely going to be in a positive feeding mood where if the pressure was rising, they'd go with a more nuetral feeding pattern like if a cold front.
I saw this two years ago out fishing with Doc. It was fall and pretty gray out and all of a sudden you could see a change in the clouds with rain coming. Sure enough the fish really turned on and as soon as it went by they shut off. You could see it in the clouds but I have the feeling it would have showed nicely on a graph. These are small area, small amount changes you aren't going to see on the weather channel.

We got Mexican crappie here. They eat in the morning, sleep thru mid-day, and eat in the evening. Don't take much any kinda "sense" to figure this out.:)

Well, thanks for the compliment Alan.

Some folks call me a smart a$$, but, they are usually mentally or technically challenged.:rolleyes:

When I was a young engineer peeon, I had the fortune to work with some really powerful brainy people. I like to believe some of their power stuff rubbed off on me. ha

I like helping folks with stuff. I am presently helping (trying to) a member here who is working on his Phd.

Now, I just an old retired peeon.

Hopefully our brains won't retire until they close the box. It's perfectly OK to think and not be on the time clock.
