OK, I've come to the conclusion that NY lake maps s#$k. Even if you buy a good chip for a fish finder or hand held you don't get the 1 foot contours that they have out in the mid-west. Maybe I'm missing something and somebody can fill me in.

Lee...it's not just you mad

They do Blo$ Monkey Choad...I have been waiting for 4 years now for my top of the line Garmin Map 76CXS to have the detailed maps. Now that I finally get to fish in the Ice Belt, I don't deem it necessary or affordable to drop the LOOT to use it for 5 days...just plain SSSUUUCCCKKKSSS!

It is to our advantage in a way, that they are not available...at least in the Fishes standpoint wink

Lee...when do you want to shoot out to Bomesseen to prefish? It turns out that it is NOT up in the top of the state...whoever told me that needs to be kicked in the Timmy Toe. We can shoot out in about 3.5 hours...not 5 plus like mentioned. It's a little over an hour and a half from Saratoga Srings. Let me know, I will drive us out for a prefish!!!!

If your looking for the very best map you could have, you can make your own with a good Lowrance, or Humminbird fish finder, a lap top computer, and a Computer program called Dr. Depth.

Do a goggle search for the Dr. Depth program and read all about it. You can even download a sample of the program to see what it can do, it's awesome, but takes some work to get it done.

There was a company called Underwater Technologies that made fantastic maps and maps on CD. Someone in the family passed away recently and the shut down. Don't know if they'll be back. Found out because I was finally going to buy a couple maps! That's my luck "...If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all..." lol

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
