ONce again great video Joe!. Not to get side tracked but how is your helix mounted on your sled? What did you have to do for power? Thanks

Screwed up a piece of wood to the sled and then just used the bracket that came with the finder. Just using a lead acid battery for now. I had a cigarette plug, but it was a pain on bumps for losing power and rebooting the unit. I primarily use it for mapping, so power consumption is not much of an issue.

Thanks Joe I have been thinking about doing the same thing with mine out of the boat just so I can use the maps I have made in the summer. My old ice unit is too old to read the autochart live maps.

What unit are you trying to read your maps on? Have you checked on available software updates? Humminbird is pretty good for those...

Joe my ice unit is an old ice 385ci that I have had for years. To my knowledge the only way for it to read autochart live maps is for me to buy the pc program and convert their format where all of the newer ones I can just put the chip in and it works. Right now to get around that I just sit down in my boat with both running and manually put in a bunch of waypoints in my ice unit to get me close. Works for the most part but is time consuming.

Are you going to start a fishing show? "Fishing with prospector Joe" Another great video, thanks for sharing it.

He'll make you famous. Lol

prospector · « **Reply #73 on:** Jan 31, 2019, 07:05 PM »

You guys are too kind. I am just enjoying life! I went to the shop again today and am uploading one more as I write. Thanks again for everyone being so positive. Shoot me some ideas for what you guys would enjoy in the future please. Heading up to Buffalo Bill reservior in the morning with Dad. Should be good for catching if we don’t get blown off of the lake!

muskyon46 · « **Reply #74 on:** Jan 31, 2019, 08:23 PM »

Don't get blown away. Good luck

fishonone · « **Reply #75 on:** Feb 24, 2019, 01:19 PM »

Ok so me and Skyler went up to the George on Friday and got into some pups

And on Saturday we went after the big boys and they didn’t want to play so hopefully in about a few weeks we’ll be able to try for them again. It was good to see everyone up there and also it was way cold sleeping on the ice the temperature was-11 at 5:00 in the morning

prospector · « **Reply #76 on:** Feb 24, 2019, 01:42 PM »

That is cold! Should keep the ice building good. Let me know when you guys are heading out again and I will try and swing down. What Lures were they wanting?

fishonone · « **Reply #77 on:** Feb 24, 2019, 03:30 PM »

The same as usual curly tails I was hooking them in 80 feet with my jacker

muskyon46 · « **Reply #78 on:** Feb 24, 2019, 06:12 PM »

Was a great time on the gorge yesterday. Couldn't have asked for better weather, of course after the sun came up. It was chilly as my truck read -10 when we hit the ramp. Only 1 pic for me of the sunrise as all of us drew the skunk at getting something on the ice. Plenty of marks big and small all thru the day. The morning fish finder action was the best for sure. Big thanks to pok3 for letting a few of us hang out with him for the day and get some good pointers on hooking some of the big boys

BFTSkunkedAgain · « **Reply #79 on:** Feb 25, 2019, 11:38 AM »

Hey I wanted to thank POK3 as well, really appreciated the time he spent helping us get set up and after them... Not sure I've ever seen as many chasers without once wanting to dine... Well guess we paid our dues maybe next time we'll put one on the ice... J

muskyon46 · « **Reply #80 on:** Feb 25, 2019, 07:17 PM »

So it looks like our trip up north to prospectors is on the back burner once again and we've all decided to give the gorge another go. Looking like March 7-10th for the final ice camp trip of the year. Let's all keep our fingers crossed mother nature cooperates

fishonone · « **Reply #81 on:** Feb 25, 2019, 08:36 PM »

Count me in

POk3s · « **Reply #82 on:** Feb 25, 2019, 09:54 PM »

You guys are very welcome! It was an enjoyable day as you could have without a fish hitting top side! Seems it’s that mid winter lull about everywhere. That’s my excuse anyway.

Hopefully it’s better in a couple weeks. I’ll try my best to make it out there fishing with you guys!

prospector · « **Reply #83 on:** Feb 26, 2019, 06:23 PM »

I hope to be able to get there. The fish will definitely be turning on right after we put it in park!

Geezer_ · « **Reply #84 on:** Feb 26, 2019, 07:02 PM »

Please keep me posted, wouldn’t mind a last go at the Gorge. Plan on going in at the marina again?

muskyon46 · « **Reply #85 on:** Feb 27, 2019, 12:24 PM »

Check out your emails for those interested in going or let me know if you want me to send you a map of where we'll be parking at

fishonone · « **Reply #86 on:** Mar 03, 2019, 09:01 PM »

Ok so here we go again we are planning on leaving Thursday afternoon for our last weekend of sleeping on the ice up there and I can’t wait,hopefully we can get some of the big boys hooked up.

Matt, you better take a ride up to northern Wyoming. It was minus 28 this morning and I'm sure it will be well below zero again tonight! Ice will be around for awhile.

Oh yes Glen, my family in that area were sending some pics of the truck temp gauge showing -26 when I got up this morning. Told him to send those temps down this way. LOL
