A few weeks ago I bought a GoPro Hero 12 for the same reason. I debated between the 2 also but opted for the GoPro since its the most common. I haven’t put it to use yet, but I doubt there are differences that would make or break a fishing video. Especially just starting out.

Glad to know we aren’t the only ones finding bait and not catching. We thought we might’ve been doing something wrong.
And thanks for the reassurance on our trip!

I don’t have any spare cables or units. The house battery does need to be replaced as its probably close to 4 years old. I planned on replacing when I get home from offshore at the end of the month. I actually did a full re-wire on the boat a few months back, as well as adding an amp, speakers, lights, new bilges & float switches. All of which are on the house battery along with the GPS. It is getting good voltage to the unit, but maybe the extra load has something to do with it, and maybe that could explain the reason why it somewhat works when slowing down to idle after a run? There were a few months in between finishing the re-wire and when I was able to get the boat in the water, so maybe this could be the problem as it never happened before the re-wire.
I know the installation manuals say not to run transducer cables alongside power wire to avoid signal interference, but it was already ran like that before and it worked. (I didn’t mention that to Garmin support). I would imagine that the majority of people don’t abide by that since there typically aren’t multiple options under the deck on where you can run cable from stern to helm, especially in small boats like mine. I guess disconnecting and pulling the transducer cable all the way back out from under the deck and plugging it back into the unit would be worth a shot.
Garmin did say the transducer is still under warranty, so we’ll see what they do. Just trying to get some ideas to try for when I get home so I can get it fixed for a planned trip a few days after I get off.

Yes, never had an issue until recently.

Lol it happened right after I broke out a thousand doing a complete re-wire and putting sound in of course haha. Hoping it lasts the rest of the year at least then I’ll probably just end up getting a new motor next year sometime. Inside is ate up pretty bad and keeps getting worse, but she’s good for now 👍

I hadn’t even looked into that yet thanks for the heads up! Its my last available day before I head back offshore so I wanted to take advantage of it
-
Lol good to know! He got me good one time but I’ll know for next time

Thanks man! PAC was our best option for not getting beat to death in the 20mph+ winds since my buddy and I both have 16ft boats. It was the first time I had been in several years and will probably go back this coming Tuesday.

Yeah! A few days ago I actually copied those pins & routes over to my Dularge GED folder to use for this trip. We originally planned to launch from Jugs to fish that side of Dularge/Dulac, but the day before we went out, Terrebonne Levee & Conservation District closed the majority of the floodgates in the area due to high water levels from all of the south wind lately. The only one they didn’t close was the Falgout Canal flood gate, so we had to change our plans accordingly. We could have made the run across Mechant & Sister Lake but decided to just stay on the west end. Thanks man!

Hey man! Everything I’ve done as far as planning is what Devin teaches in Inshore Fishing 101. I find spots on GED that I think are worth trying based on the conditions, then create a safe navigation route starting from the launch to the first spot etc. and then uploading it to my GPS. Not sure if you have a GPS on your kayak, if not I can see how it would be frustrating.
