New Electronics for the SalmonHawk 6
After the show from Anacortes on Saturday, Nelly and Robbo couldn't wait to get out of our makeshift studio Skagit Orca provided by Master Marine. You see they were going fishing in the 4th annual Anacortes Salmon Derby. I on the other hand couldn't wait to get out of there for an entirely different reason, I was headed to my boat to watch as Travis Jorgensen and his brother installed my new Lowrance Broadband Radar, HDS-10, and Structure Scan. I have almost been as excited to see what my new structure scan can do as I have been for July to roll around so we can go albie fishing.

In today's world of fishing, having the right electronics set-up is almost as crucial as having a fishing rod on the boat. In fact, I believe that if I had to choose, I would choose the electronics. I could always fish with a hand line if I had to but being able to locate fish and structure makes me an even more effective fisherman. With the new structure scan, I can now locate fish, bait, and structure to my left or right, I have a broader view of what's going on in the water.

I should be able to read a salmon's mind with my new 1kw thru-hull transducer.
A special thanks to Mike Campbell from Lowrance for getting me steered in the right direction with my now complete electronics package and as always, a special thanks to Lowrance for supporting The Outdoor Line. Now that Travis is done with the install, it is my turn to start pushing buttons and entering waypoints. I am as excited to light a stogie and start playing with my new weapon tonight as I will be to take my first albacore trip this year.
Travis and his brother did a great job installing my electronics. They have a real knowledge and a passion for all things boating. If you have a need or want to have some real professionals out to make the switch to Lowrance then email Travis at sivart9705@yahoo.com

Don't you mean cave coug???
Bear, I will be getting a few lessons on this one. It is so easy to use that even a cave man like myself could figure it out.
Now all you have to do is learn how to use it. I'd start by getting the split screen off the freeway... unless you are actually planning on fishing in downtown Bellevue. Sweet looking setup, did you punch in those rockfish numbers yet?
Travis came highly recommended and he's a Coug!! How could I go wrong with that?
Thinking about it Nelly
Are you gonna re-name your boat the "Albihawk"?
