MuddyBottomBluz Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Dino, it was great meeting you today. That Simrad unit is really nice but you really need to put it down and get back on the laundry room! The 741 will fit my needs on the bay boat and I appreciate you taking the time to allow me to come over and pick it up today. Capt. Don, if a guy comes by you in Choko in one of your fishing holes and calls you and Dino by name and happens to have a Garmin 741 on his boat it would be purely coincidence!?! Tight lines gentlemen.

conocean Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 The problem with many of those who have a gadget infatuation is very similar to my 15 yr old son’s obsession with social media. You lose touch with natural interaction and only learn what is fed to you on a screen. Dino is a true “fish-llenial” 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny Running Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Cool beans displaying that map on an IPAD. Why is the IPAD photo bright and the GPS a dark color? Is the brightness turned down or Just the camera angle? How do you like the FMT for your area>? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino is a true “fish-llenial” 😂 I don't do any more social media other than this fishing forum and I used to do a Nikon forum....way too old to be a "fish'llenial" - lol I do like playing with technology....so, this is part of the hobby.....why do you own a HPX when you could catch all the feesh you want in a john boat? Why own a AmeraTrail when an old trailer gets you there and back just as quickly......because they, in your opinion give you value and they are noted as the "best" in the industry......for me, gadgets are just part of the fun and they hobby.... dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, Dino...you know the deal! I own an HPX so I can store all my cr@p, pole quietly and be comfortable when running 70+ miles in a day. I prefer an Ameratrail because it fits my hull perfect, pulls smooth at 70mph and makes launching/loading a breeze at the ramps I use during almost any tide. Function always trumps value IMO. I laugh when I see people staring at big screens on their boats. It's the same laugh I have when I see my kid & his buddies on their iPhones looking at social media! You know that I only bust peoples ballz that I really like. Enjoy your new gadget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donh Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Paul, I know exactly what you’re talking about. Running thru Mud Bay a while back in my Mav T watching my GPS instead of relying on experience and parked her on the mud flat to the left of the island instead of the right coming home. Now that was a grounding😄 dh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It allows you to create a hot spot with the NSS9 evo2 MFD to then mirror and take control of it..... On the newer models..Evo3, I think it's included in the unit itself...it's pretty cool. $200 dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fsu11 Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 sweet thanks! i looked it up briefly so it installs on your boat and allows you to use other devices to manage the screens essentially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then reality strikes and then you admit, "um, well, maybe not." #high&dry #needmoreh2o #lessonlearned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
