My fishing partner of 20+ years can no longer function, because this big dummy, did not attach the transducer correctly to the boat. The transducer is now sitting in 25+ feet of water on Lake Lida. I have contacted the factory, and have been told the transducer is no longer available anywhere. The unit is a Hummingbird 60. I purchased the unit in 1981. This is a old flasher. Does anyone know if any of the replacement transducers will function with this unit? I would not be quite as concerned, but, I am heading to Kab Saturday AM for a week of fishing. Thanks in advance guys and gals.

I would also recommend you contact Valv of KVE Surplus. He has everything and then some. He is THE Boat guy. If your working on your boat or electronics etc, he probably has it.

His banner pops up every now and the here or go to the SouthCentral forum and click on his name (Valv) to get his e-mail address.

I recommend everyone take some time to visit his place. He gives away a lot of things to his good customers as well. He's definitely priced right.

Hey 196th -
I may have a transducer for you. I believe the unit I have is a Super Sixty and that has a 30' or 60' scale. I'll bet there's someone on this site that could tell you if it will work.
If you want to just take a chance and pay for shipping I can Fed Ex it to you so you'd have it time for the weekend. I don't want anything for the 'ducer - the rest of the unit is shot.
You can email me @ [email protected] if this will help.

Thanks for the help!! I took Uffdapete up on his offer, but, Rick and Grabs, I have stored the information you passed on to me.
I know I'll haave to use it sometime in the future.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
