Johnson Outdoors As most of my friends, clients and readers are aware I have the pleasure of serving on the Johnson Outdoors Field Staff. This includes Humminbird, Minn Kota and Cannon products. As a professional fisherman, I use only the very best products out there. My clients expect and deserve the best and I deliver using Johnson Outdoors products. My I-Pilot Minn Kota trolling motor – Humminbird Helix 12 Chirp fish finder/GPS and my Cannon Digi 5 down riggers are top of the line! I am excited to announce my partner Johnson Outdoors has terrific spring specials going on! Please read below. I URGE YOU TO SUPPORT THIS GREAT COMPANY AND ITS PRODUCTS! Minn Kota Ultrex- The same heel/toe steering you're used to with Fortrex, made easier. Power Steering reduces steering effort and Spot Lock & Auto Pilot allow you to fish on both feet for longer, making Ultrex the smoothest, most responsive, and easiest-to-operate motor you've ever driven. Get instant response with all-day comfort. • Ultrex Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prpLlQ2X4lw • Product Info: http://www.minnkotamotors.com/Trolling-Motors/Freshwater-Bow-Mount/Ultrex/ Reinvented i-Pilot and i-Pilot Link • i-Pilot BT: http://www.minnkotamotors.com/Product/i-Pilot-BT/ • i-Pilot Link BThttp://www.minnkotamotors.com/ipilotlink/ New for 2017, all i-Pilot and i-Pilot Link motors received new hardware and software to enhance performance, functionality and user experience. Some of the new features are: • i-Pilot and i-Pilot Link are now Bluetooth enabled • Update the motor’s software from a free mobile app (http://www.minnkotamotors.com/i-Pilot-App/) • Reinvented Spot Lock, which now holds moe accurately than before (within 5’ or better) and includes ‘Spot Lock Jog’ feature, which allows you to move your Spot Lock position in 5’ increments at the touch of a button. You can also see the new "Distance to Spot" reading on the remote, to show you just how close you are. http://www.minnkotamotors.com/Product/Spot-Lock/ Talon http://www.minnkotamotors.com/Shallow-Water-Anchors/Talon/ o Available in multiple colors in 8’, 10’ and 12’ models o No hydraulics- easy to install as a trolling motor. You can do it yourself, and save the money on a costly installation. o (3) User-selectable Anchoring Modes AUTO-DRIVE MODE: Powers the spike into the bottom with three increasingly aggressive hits. SOFT BOTTOM MODE: For less aggressive anchoring – and easier anchor retraction – in water with a muddy or silted bottom. ROUGH WATER MODE: For heavy wind and chop, this mode performs three consecutive Auto-Drive sequences at 10-second intervals for a triple-strength hold. o Built-in Wave Absorber: Talon allows your boat to move up or down without affecting the anchor. Its exclusive built-in floating suspension keeps you locked to the bottom, even in rough water. o The LED lights on Talon show you how far down you’re deployed with each light indicating two feet of depth. Mail-in Rebates- Minn Kota is offering various mail-in rebates on trolling motors, Talons and chargers from now until May 31st, 2017 to help anglers put the very best on their boat. • http://www.minnkotamotors.com/promotions/ Humminbird MEGA Side and Down Imaging o Arguably the most notable technology this year for Humminbird products in the introduction of MEGA Side Imaging and MEGA Down Imaging on SOLIX 12 CHIRP SI GPS, SOLIX 15 CHIRP SI GPS and HELIX 9/10/12 CHIRP SI GPS G2N models. Please note that MEGA DI is not available on Down Imaging units. o Now paired with the ability to CHIRP, MEGA Imaging produces frequencies in the MEGAhertz range (1.2MHz) on Side Imaging and Down Imaging, will allow anglers to find fish in previously undiscovered hiding places due to higher target separation and image clarity. SOLIX 12 and SOLIX 15 http://www.humminbird.com/Freshwater/Lifestyle/SOLIX_FW/ The new SOLIX™ Series has it all; every Humminbird innovation from MEGA Imaging™ and AutoChart® Live to Ethernet networking and Bluetooth® connectivity. Now showing on a massive 15" or 12" Cross Touch® display-our largest ever. Never compromise. Never settle. Because more is definitely more.

So you'll be at the center of the action without becoming the center of attention.

Hello to all my friends and readers! Captain Jim here! The fishing was once again "outstanding" on the Cumberland River this weekend, with numerous river monsters caught, most being between 20 to 35 pounds - 34 to 39 inches! The Trout (the bait we use in the river) are really tough to catch out of the river now and will be from now on for a while. I am actually having to haul Trout from a Trout farm over towards Nashville for bait for our trips. Expensive, must I do this so our clients can have a chance to catch the largest Stripers possible! I will be posting a video of my new Trout transport tank shortly! Please enjoy the photos below of Steve Schneider with 3 separate Stripers he caught. Please see also the Steve Meredith group (Steve, David and Mike) each with huge Stripers! See also the Allen Sanders group (Joe) with his big Striper (with several other nice fish on as well)! The Cumberland River fishing remains "red hot" and we are booking up!!! Come see me!!
