Howdie Sealiners - can any one tell me if the charts for the new Lowrance HDS range are available yet - I am looking for the chart that covers Durban to Ponta Malongane. Is there a 3D version as well?

Navionics Platinum is promised by Lowrance in a couple of months.

Nautic Path that covers the entire Africa region is available for less than R1800.

Contact: fishton@fishtec.co.za

Imagine creating your own 3D maps with up to 1ft high iso definition for your Lowrance system?

Contact me for more info.

Hi Johan,

 

I see Crazydeals in Dbn are selling the Platinum cards for R5000-00. I dont know how good they are but on the Int net they look pretty good.

 

I will get one son for my HDS8 and let you know.

 

Do you have an 8 or 10?

Hi Dirks - no, little bit further south - closer to Danies, but deeper. If you ever in my neck of the woods - contact me. Most of the guys at Meerensee Boat Club will put you in contact with me. Not there all the time - currently working in the DRC-Congo.  I added a structure scan to the HDS8 (and a better transducer - "because Fishton said so"  - because as they say " hy ken sy storie"). As a fishfinder it is AWSOME. The mapping of Lowrance sucks - so I bought a Garmin 720s - and the mapping is AWSOME. I fish mostly bottoms and needed a tool that can give me better contour definition. I think I now have the perfect tools for my application.

Hi Johan,

Thanks for the info. I will be in R bay this weekend. Our club has a social bottom fishing comp running over 6,7 & 8th August. It will be hosted by RBSC though and not Meerensee. Give me your number and I will contact you on Friday eve or Saturday. I see saturday is a blow out anyway so might as well collect Wpoints for Sunday.

 

Groete

Dirk

Hallo Dirks - man, it would have been nice to meet you - but I am sitting in Twangiza, a small town near the gold mine we are building in the DRC-Congo. I will be home on the 6 Sept - if you PM your cell number I will contact you and then I will gladly assist with waypoints. Hope you have a lekker compo - and the weather will be good. Regards. Johan.
