Don't forget the wax worms. Robert, Don't sell the Whitefish short. VG Table fare.

I recently found out that the USCG uses a Chartploter Toughbook like this on at least one Icebreaker on the Great Lakes. That speaks loud and clear to me. I am selling the Toughbooks, DC charger, AC charger, and GPS only, and I'll install the charts and Chartplotter software free at your request. I have just sold out of these but have a few more on the way and they can be made ready with a little notice. Looking at a 13" screen sure make a difference for me. These do have AIS capabilities. Thanks PS: If you are a Navionics fan Software and charts are available also. This option will add $$$$ to the cost. At any rate it will still be way less than a big screen HB, Lowrance, or Garmin. Personally I like the free charts listed above but different strokes for different folks. Just wanted to let you know the option is there.

"We use this on our ice breaker as a back up nav system and AIS back up. Very good system. 400 bucks is a steal"

Another 2 sold today one to Tawas and another one to Oscoda. One left but I may get some more when available.

I just sold another one today that is going to Oscoda. I'll be delivering another one to the Saginaw area Mid week. I still have a couple and will get more as needed. These have so many features. Try one and you will like it. It's not a bad idea to get one now and familiarize yourself with it.

These Toughbooks are a great tool on and off the boat. Topographical, Street and other maps can be run on these as well as your other programs. These are built to stand up to most any kind of use.

App for several major USA inland lakes can be added reasonably.

These are military spec Panasonic Toughbooks with GPS and Great Lakes Charts. Some folks here have fished with me and saw the value of this 13+" chartplotter. These have been upgraded to a activated version of Windows 10 Pro. These have the optional back light rubber keyboards and touch screen. They also come complete with an AC charger, DC charger, and usb GPS. These are in VG condition. When the chartplotter program is zoomed in the depth numbers are visible from several feet away. I sold a quite a few of these to folks that fished with me and saw them in action. There is nothing like it for even close to the $400 price. These also have MS Office 2007 and were upgraded to 500GB HDD. These can also be used for long haul truckers with different software and off course they are usable on and off the trucks or boats as a regular laptop. Yes they can connect to WIFI.

Shawn, A warm

Mike, A warm to GLF. You will like it here.

Nice work Mike. I changed the date in the original post.

I'll send you an email.

Sat I had the pleasure of fishing with Joe S, Doug, and Tyler. Tyler is about 13 yo and got to reel in all the fish we hooked up. We started out front of Au Gres and marked a lot of fish high and low. The bite was sloooooooooow and light. We picked up some undersized fish and a couple of keepers. We decided to make a move and picked up two quick fish and we thought we were off to the races. The bite again slowed and we ended the day with 7 walleye. we fished 27-34 FOW. BB and meat high and low. 1.4-1.7 MPH. It was bumpy with waves up to 3'. It was a good time with good friends. Sun, I fished with Ben S, Gary W, and Joe S. I was close to calling off the trip and maybe I should have but the 5AM #1 Buoy report looked better than the 4 AM and I was hoping for a lay down. We started in 2' waves that quickly built to 3 and 4 footers. We went uphill for a while and decided to take a little break and go with the flow. Shortly after the turnaround the wave built to solid 4s with an occasional 6' wave. It was tough driving no mater what direction with the wind as much of a factor as the waves. We managed to catch 4 walleye before calling it a day and had a few nice ones come off close to the boat because of conditions. 27 FOW BB and meat high and low. Sorry about the late report as I have been busy. Many of you know that I re-purpose Toughbooks into 13"+ Chartplotters. Many folks that have fished with me soon see the value of this set up. I liken it to watching the Super Bowl on a portable tv or a big screen. These set ups have chart numbers visible from several feet away. On other plotters, when zoomed, the depth numbers stay small. I have just finished another Toughbook and will deliver it tomorrow and I have another one for Joe S. that I'm waiting on a COA to legitimize the operating system. This work is not too difficult for for me but it is time consuming as I usually have to install new HDD, OS, drivers, and other soft and hardware. I have been running Windows 10 on the last few setups. These are military spec as tough as their name implies heavy duty laptops that can take rough wet use on and off the boat.

Mike, GJ and good report. It will be good to have you in the area permanently.

aboard John.

Nice work Mike.
