I managed to get the christmas shopping done and under budget so I  decided I'm gonna get myself a handheld gps unit.  I know very little about gps features so I need some advice.  I'm trying to stay under $200.  Whats everyone else using? What should I look for as far as features go? Waas enabled? Will I need to purchase additional maps/software?  Thanks

Alright, I know what you're thinking, "this has nothing to do with kayakfishing,"  but hear me out.  What I'm offering you is an opportunity to buy yourself some fishing time when things heat up next spring.   You see,  after spending a day or two sprucing up the house by adding new flooring now (when things are slow)  YOUR WIFE WILL BE SO IMPRESSED SHE'LL LET YOU HAVE THOSE PRECIOUS WEEKENDS WHEN THE BITE IS ON.  You'll instantly go from this     to this  

How's that for a sales pitch
I have about 250 sq. ft of Pergo laminate flooring in a cherry color and another 200 sq. ft. in a maple color.  This is the highest grade laminate made by Pergo and usually runs about $4.50 a sq. ft. , I'm asking $2.50, just wanna move it.

Pretty cool.  Will you be taking online orders?

How we gonna determine weight?  Certified scales? Any digital scale?  I also fish alone alot and don't always have a witness, will photographic evidence on the water work?

Kevin, I was thinking we'd only put in on the species we'd be targeting.  So you only get in on the categories you want to.  

Re: Fish Weight

With the sturgies I was thinking weight would be the best measurement, I've seen some pigs that were short for their weight.  How about we use the Length Girth equation for weight estimation on any released fish.  I've never yakfished for them so I'm not sure how easy it would be to get em to sit in your lap while you measure and photgraph them.  Maybe a quick photo next to the boat or a paddle just for scale?  Definitely open to suggestions on this one.  


As for other fish:  

Pic of it weighed on a scale works for me.  Must be caught from a kayak, verified by a fellow yakfisher or if your not fishing with a buddy then an on-the-water shot of the fish laying somewhere on deck should be provided.  

I figured this to be more of a money between friends type of deal, more for bragging rights than profit.  Anyone disagree or wanna add to it? Spark, should we add a spearfishing category for your 50lb ling?
