Looking into getting a GPS for ice fishing. What do you guys recommend? Garmin GPSMap 64s is what Scheels recommendended. Thoughts?

I have the navionics boating USA app for my phone. It is awesome. I think I paid 9.99 for it a cpl of years ago and is perfect for ice fishing. Shows spot on depth and some structure. Great for picking a spot and knowing where you are. The coolest thing is I went fishing in the Florida keys and worked there too in the ocean. Great detail and best ten bucks I ever spent. Hope this helped. Oh and way cheaper than a garmin.

Good info there, TCFM. DH, I think  a lot of the guys on here do the same thing as it's hard to beat. Accurate & Cheap. We bought a Elite 5 Ice Machine  last season at the Duluth show & adapted that for the bow of the boat

New to smart phones ... this thing tells you how deep your standing on and gives depth of lakes?   Where do I get this on my phone?  App Store?

Works great. Mines from itunes store for iphone. After you load the maps you want you dont even need data over cell, as your phone also has standard free GPS!

So you are able to use it when you don't have cell service? Also does it have lots of lakes on it?

thanks for the info guys!

Yessir......You download an area of lakes in service. You can use most any tablet or smartphone, as most have the gps built in.

      Last day of myself hunting before I help my friend with new clients. Back on the bigger marsh, mainly teal but 5 fulvous whistling ducks. A medium size duck but they fly and decoy like Canada geese, big circles and glide in. They are noisey birds

      Kettle, sounds like an awesome trip. Never see drake bluewings in MN during the season. For the bridge my pucker factor would've been 11, and that's walking across both ways!!

      I did the looper steelhead thing in front of the French River once.  It was fun. I got one looper but the sight fishing aspect of it was the most fun.   We saw a couple guys limit on steelhead up close to shore and learned the black fly was the way to catch ‘em.  We didn’t have any.   My first 40+ hour day that I can remember.  Went to work Friday morning, Van Halen concert Friday night, too jacked up on the way home to call it a day so we loaded up for the North Shore.  Fished all day, drove home Saturday night.     Those crazy kids…   Chequamegon Bay and the Apostle Islands have always been a want but an undone deed.  The wander spirit has faded from my old traveling buds.  They like to stick to what they know now.

      About 20" of ice in Black Bay., although that's just based on how far my auger went before breaking through.
