I was able to import it to my Lowrance Hook 5. Thanks to everyone.

According to the line I imported into my fishing app it’s less than a 1/2 mile from exiting Albion cove to the 20 fathom boundary. I guess I’m looking for spots to try basically within a 1/2 mile from shore.

I’m hoping to get some lingcod this year. Can anyone point to a simplified version of the regulations? I’d like to launch at Albion. The update mentions several dates but doesn’t always clearly say if fishing is open or closed.

For kayak rockfishing out of Albion basically mark October and December as closed for this year. That 300 line is pretty far out there.

I loaded the boundary lines into my I Boating app and the 50 fathom line is 3.5 miles from the entrance to the Albion cove. That would be a long paddle if conditions turned bad.

Nice. Looks like another mobile fishing cabin. I put a soft topper on my pickup with a bed inside so I can tow my kayak trailer and have a place to sleep with the least hassle possible. It comes in handy when the fishing spot is too far to drive for an early morning start.

Here is the link to the selector tool page to help figure out which transducer you need. Once you know which one you should be able to find one for sale.

Rethinking this by priority and cost.
1. Recharge fish finder battery 20 lith
2. Recharge VHF radio
3. Recharge shark shield if in saltwater
4. Recharge Bixpy… I can always peddle or paddle

Maybe for more than one day…. For the cost it may be less expensive to buy an extra fish finder battery and have both charged beforehand. No doubt these battery systems are expensive.

Is that a 20 ah lithium for the fish finder? How long does it last?

I got a 100 ah LiFePO4 battery with built in warmer for $380 from PowerUrus.  The company got a good review from a knowledgeable YouTuber I watch. The warmer allows me to recharge it in freezing temps. I put it in a battery box with 12 volt and usb ports. Then I mounted a Renogy 700 watt pure sine wave inverter on top of the battery box. I wired it to the battery through a battery selector switch so I can power everything off when I’m not using it. It was extra work to put it all together but I’m happy with the end results. The nearest sized Jackery is a little bigger but I think I saved $900 as I recall. Now I can do 12 volt and usb charging without the overhead of the inverter and I’ve got the inverter when I need A/C.

Plus I wired in a big Anderson plug and put one on the charger cable so it’s easy to hook up and recharge.
