well I didnt' see anything from this side of the pond so , my numbers are waaaayy down , 2 skunks , maybe 10 kings 20 lakers a few coho and half dozen steelies . All in all everyones numbers were down . The fish that did bite hooked up for the most part , very few drive bys or misses. We had no coho season , they stayed south of Racine . From what I understand next year might no even be as good . Largest hatch of Perch in decades so if we don't have a bad winter we just may have perch to fish in a few years . That is if they can find enough to eat along with the alewives . Starting to look like the might be crashing. Lets hope not.

It may be one of the hds5 units , I had some issues and lowrance replace my hds5 Under warranty with a hds5 gen 2 . I don't recall the exact issue , but there were some , and it may be because of the gen2 software. You can call lowrance or even check there trouble shooting for answers they are very helpful over the phone

Nick are you running a network or just the Ethernet cable, Sounds like your running the wrong cable. A single cable run between the 2 units will work , if your on a network then you need terminator on each end of the network. If you go to Lowrance's website you can look it up . When you first turn on the 2 units you should have each one automatically setup the network . at that point they should recognize each other. are you connecting on the yellow port on the back marked ENET ? If your on the nema2k its the wrong port . You can also try not having the sonar connected to make sure its not the problem. Here is the page showing the Ethernet cables that you would use.

I have measured out on the city sidewalk , if your re spooling just use another reel and put the backing on first after you reel up the leader and the copper. then back up and add a new leader you should be all set.
