Post by: bob o on December 08, 2012, 01:28:36 PM
at my house, Saturday Feb 9th. there will be a pot of chile, pop, beer, chips and whatever you bring if you want to bring anything you don't have to if you don't want to. i've gone thru my tackle stuff and i got a pretty good bag of lures to sell or trade, also a used bow mount 12/24 motorguide Brute 50lb thrust. Last year we had a great turnout of 10-12 people all having a great time some of even bought and sold stuff, some just had a great time talking about fishing, and telling fishing stories. so come on over and have a good time

Dashing through the snow
  In a 390-horse MOPAR sleigh
      O'er the roads we go
            Laughing all the way

Bells Oberon to Bobs I bring
  Making spirits bright
      What fun it is to trade my gear
              And drink with my fish addict fools tonight!

  (chorus)
Jingle bells, Gulp! Goby smells,
      No crank bait deal gets missed today ...
             Oh! what fun it is to get
                      A cool rod for the one I dont use anywayyyyy.
 
Jingle bells, anything drop shot sells,
   Bring my non Kustom Kicker spinnerbaits all the way;
          Oh! what fun it is to lie
                about lures that dont catch fish anywayyyyyyy.

(Thank you - Thank you - your far too kind - Ill be here all week)

PS: Mojo will be there !

Guess I had better head out to the garage and put a pile together.

Didn't the weather suck last year also??? ;D

You can play with it now if you can find a way to hook it up to 12 volts,  Join the HB website so as to get updates. A new one just came out a few days ago. It has to be downloaded to an SD card and uploaded to the unit.
Title: Re: Winter Swap Meet Time
Post by: fiker on February 09, 2013, 06:08:54 AM
You can buy the cable from Humminbird for about $25-30.   Too expensive for me.

I found a computer hook up for an earlier model humminbird at Gander Mountain.  The power cable is the same.  You can then just hook that up to a 12volt battery.  It can even be a garden tractor battery.   I think I paid about $10 for this entire kit. 

Unfortunately one used to be able to hook  units up to the computer and download directly.  My 898 doesn't do it but I have a friend who can with his.  Funny.  Humminbird says that the unit is not supported, but his works just fine. 

Once you have all of your way points stored on the computer, you can see where they are on google maps. 

Kinda cool.

Post by: huston on February 09, 2013, 08:47:30 AM
I'm thinking about trying to hook mine up with a portable battery booster that has a 12volt,usb, cig lighter plug in on it. You say I can get the power cable from Gander Montain?

Thanks again Bob, even better than last year. I ended up with a lot more stuff than I thought I had. Thanks to Mike? for just giving me some plastics he did not want to bring home. He also sold me a custom spinnerbait he makes and I know did not want to sell but did anyway. Can't wait till next year. See everyone at the Madwags memorial in May. Almost forgot thanks to Mikes RX baits for showing up with a ton of Megabass to show people who were interested.
