wetbandit, thanks for the link.https://mygeodata.cloud/converter/latlong-to-gpx. I just tried it out on a Garmin file from 2002 and it worked great. I'm gonna have fun with this. I also liked the one posted by STMU (https://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_input) It displays well in Google Earth Pro. ...

The coordinates should be the same. Just a guess, but since you were able to convert everything ok and they appear to be in the right location, the only thing I could think of as to why the coordinates say something different on your plotter would be it displays them in a different format...ie. your...

Not sure about the excel conversion, unless you have ArcGIS, but a lot of other online converter tools are out there. I use GPS visualizer (https://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_input) to convert to GPX. I also use BaseCamp as my laptop map source. Its a free download from Garmin, nothing fancy, but...

I agree, carpet will get nasty quick. I had a friend who wanted the seadek look for his boat but didn't want to pay the crazy price. He used those yoga/kid's mat that snaps together like puzzle pieces. Been on his boat for 3 years now and holding up just fine. I would also be careful with a spray-in...

I tried a buddy's whole face mask a few times. Aside from looking like an underwater unicorn I wasn't a fan. It didn't really work if you had to dive deep, not that you really do for scallops. I didn't like how the mask felt with the pressure change once you get 12+ feet, and it never really worked ...

Most large truck stops have them too. I did mine at the Pilot gas station of I-10 exit on the west side of Tally.

I know in the Atlantic up towards Jacksonville a lot of folks target them offshore during the spawn. Really picked up a few years ago when folks started diving for them, pretty easy to target them when they congregate offshore and you can fill up a limit pretty quick. Don't know enough to know if it...

GARY, you’re missing out on lady fish. I promise I can cook them where you’ll love them. How did you cook the roe? I keep wanting to figure out how to do you some kind of caviar with the roe in the fish we catch. It’s fine fried but I can’t help but think it would be better some other way I can’t s...

I think it totally depends on your need, and what you're willing to pay. Those I-pilots are pretty sweet, and that spot lock feature could be my favorite thing offshore. However, on my small inshore boat I have the Riptide edge 55lb thrust, which is just hand-steer. One battery cuts down on weight a...

Glad I'm not the only one who's been frustrated by these things this year. Finally splurged and bought an expensive live target lure last week. The first cast it gets bit in half by a smooth puffer. That's what I get!!!! Sticking with cheap soft plastic and hard baits this summer.

When is the last time you changed your water pump and thermostats? Is it running hot? I'm not sure about a 90 but I had a 150 once that had a safety feature that would reduce the rpms if it ran hot. If you have a worn impeller in the water pump it might not be pumping enough water at wide open to k...

Strong incoming tide near dawn right in the middle of the week. Aside from the recent uptick, usually pretty quiet on the water then. Really, any strong tide at dawn, whether incoming or outgoing, so long as you have enough water on outgoing. Very lucky to have a job where I make my own hours, so ra...

don't paint bottom unless you really need too Agree. If you don't need it, don't do it. If you do, it's a pretty big undertaking. I would really vet anyone who you're going to pay to have this done and not skimp on cost. You get what you pay for, and that is especially true with paint. Not that Mik...

Just for reference, Supreme Court precedence does exist regarding restricting constitutional rights during pandemics. In a 1905 ruling during the Small Pox epidemic (Jacobson v. Mass), in Justice Duncan's ruling he clearly states that all constitutional rights may be reasonably restricted to combat ...

I used to work for the engineering company that built the Carabelle City ramp and park down near the mouth of the river. That project was funded with federal grant money. I wonder what the terms of the grant are? Remaining open to the public perhaps? A violation of the grant terms would mean the Ci...
