Beautiful day on Vermilion Sunday for the last day of walleye season. Lots of people were fishing in portables, or out in the open. Was entertaining watching many of the wheel and skid houses being pulled off of the lake. Checked half a dozen spots where wheel houses were removed and didn't find any trash at all. Sounds like people are getting the message. I may go out on the lake when the snow is melted to do a further check and cleanup if needed. Fishing was average for this time of the year. Had a decent bite from 2pm to 4pm when I caught my biggest eye (pictured 22 inch). Decent finish to a good season. Now on to lake trout fishing. Hope everyone had an enjoyable and successful ice fishing season. Going to be a long time before this year's open water season. -

Almost needed the extension on the augur, was right to the power head. No walleye but sent my buddy home with 10 bluegills. Could drive everywhere in 4 wheel drive just had to avoid the drifts -

What a difference a day makes. Fishing was very slow today. Biggest I caught was only 13 inches. Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite. The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke. Just avoid the snow banks and drifts. Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm. Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower. At least the city and lake will be busy with those. Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season. -

Question

I truly believe Navonics has created a great way for us users to help each other improve our lake maps. They have created a means to provide the most up-to-date lake contour maps over time. The app annual service cost is $9.99 for first year and $4.99 for renewal each year thereafter. Download the map from Google play for Android and App Store for ISO (Apple products). The May 10, 2016 App update release improved the GPS and Track refresh rate from an average of 20 seconds to less than 1 second along with a bunch of other improvements. If you haven’t already done so, update your app from the respective app store.
Along with the App Navonics provide their SonarChart feature which connects to quite a number of sonar units. I personally use the Vexilar T-Box SonarPhone. To use it, you need to turn on a share button in the app settings. Anytime you’re on the water with the sonar and app, the sonar reading is recorded to the GPS coordinates. Navonics than takes your Sonar Log and merges you data with others and create new contours. You periodically do a map update, which are updated daily by Navonics to create new new maps. Great way to help each other getting updated maps without much effort on our part. The following screen shots are an example of the map update.
Ottertail Lake 2/4/16 on the ice. The blue line is my route from a spot on a hump to the access.
Same hump June 6, 2016 recorded SonarChart.
Same spot with updated map I did on 7/10/2016. Note the new location of the saddle to the hump and change in the hump 12’ break area. Also note the location of the right marker pin
