They show contour lines and you can change the zero line if the lake go up or down like at KY and Barkley Lake. Lakemaster cards are the best for your humminbird unit. Humminbird and Lakemaster maps go together like ham and eggs. That's a nice feature for those of us who like to troll crank baits behind the boat and along a certain depth in the lake. Yea the MinnKota Trolling Motors with the right setup can connect with the Humminbird using the Lakemaster cards information and control your boat for you. Sorry I can't think of the name of the trolling motor manufacture right now even though I have on on my boat.

And you can link the Lakemaster maps with a Humminbird Unit and the Trolling motors that can use bluetooth or WiFi to control the trolling motor and let your boat follow a certain path or contour line in the lake. Here is what I am looking at.Lakemaster cards are the best for your humminbird unit. What map do you have or would you want with this unit? Lakemaster seems to be more limited in the number of lakes in KY, but I have heard they are better maps for HB units.Īny advice is appreciated. I share detailed specifics with certain folks, but the average joe reading my reports will have to put in some work, just like I did.I'm looking at getting this unit and trying to decide if I should for 100 more dollars get the unit with the Navionics + card. There are some things I don't feel the "public" has a right to know. I've ordered a lot of stuff from them, and they almost always beat every other electronics dealer out there.Īs to Hot Spots, I never provide that specific info and have actually started being a little less descriptive in my reports about where I fish. Best price i could find was $126.11 here. Though I tried to copy the program from Cf to sdmicro, it didn't work, so I ordered a brand new HotMaps Premium chip this morning. My old plotter used a CF card and the new plotter uses sdmicro. I just finished upgrading my electronics equipment a little over a week ago.

Not sure about the Snake River, haven't been there for years. I know Marshall is, I've fished it, and so is Rock Lake. You will find there are a LOT more eastside lakes on that chip than westside, and most of the lakes you fish will be on it. IMO, this is much easier to do with an interactive electronics display than a paper map.

Keep in mind, for Roosevelt the reference for FishnMaps and HotMaps is taken at FULL POOL, so you have to adjust to changes in reservoir level as they occur. Since reservoir level can vary by as much as 60' in the spring, using a paper map while navigating sucks, and unlike the map chip, you cannot zoom in to see the contour lines in detail. Having said that, I still wouldn't be without the HotMaps chip. I've spent so much time there I now have a mental map that precludes the need for anything else. Me, I wouldn't be without one even though I have the FishnMaps for every lake on our side of the mountains, including Lake Roosevelt. I've had a HotMaps Premium for my plotter since 2009. From what I see the Navionics is a lot better than Lakemaster card. I'm sure a lot of you Guys have this card and can chime in as far as the coverage of the smaller less popular lakes But since I am cheap I'm sure I'll have it until, it or me dies. mainly because when it shows I'm on top of a million fish I get nothing and when I'm killing them there isn't one fish on the stupid thing. I've never had one before and pretty much use it for the depth temp and speed. My fish finder came with the boat when I bought it.

I am not really sure it would benefit me.īut after more research on Navionics web site it looks like the lakes listed above are way better than what I have now. Since I fish and play in only a few lakes, mainly Rock, Marshall, Roosevelt and the Snake river. He said its great for the popular lakes but did not offer much for the smaller lakes.

The Employee I was talking to kinda talked me out of it. I actually went to Cabelas after Christmas to buy one. I have a hummingbird 597 ci HD fish finder in my boat and have been looking into getting this chip for it (model PREM-W6)
