    Active Target 2 Software Update

    Lowrance just released an update for the Active Target 2.  So far the new active target has been a great addition to many boats across the country. The new system has made it easy to keep up in the competitive market of forward facing sonar.  

    With the new technology, there have been a few hiccups that anglers have noticed when pairing the new Active Target 2 with their older chartplotters (Live, Carbon and Elite FS). The new update will fix this glitch. Issues like sticking images, network dropping (NO SOURCE) are the most common issues that have been addressed. 

    Other cool updates include : greater bottom representation, range lines are smaller and more visually appealing, added range settings and selections, more color pallets 6, 7, & 8.

    Safety Devices to consider before hitting the lakes, rivers, and sea this Summer

    As the weather warms, more and more people will be headed to the water to enjoy time on their boat. It is important to remember a few key safety items to keep in the boat.  Boating can be a fun and enjoyable activity, but it is important to prioritize safety while on the water. Accidents can happen quickly and unexpectedly, and having the right safety devices on board can mean the difference between life and death. Lets discuss the importance of four safety devices that all boats should have on board: life vests, life rafts, EPIRBS, and navigational lights.

    1. Life Vests: Life vests, also known as personal flotation devices (PFDs), are one of the most important safety devices that all boaters should have on board. They are designed to keep the wearer afloat and help them stay alive until rescue arrives. Life vests come in different styles and sizes, including inflatable and non-inflatable, and they are required by law to be on board for every person on the boat. It is important

    The New Power-Pole Move


    For the last 5 years, it has been rumored that Power-Pole would eventually launch a trolling motor that would change the game. Earlier this year Power-Pole launched the Move. The Move Pivot (MOVE PT) and Move Scissor (MOVE ZR).


    The greatness of this trolling motor has already been exemplified in the first Major League Fishing event on the Kissimmee Chain of lakes in Florida. Chris Lane, long time Power Pole sponsored angler was using the new Move and won over $100,000 in early February. Lane as well as several other professional bass anglers are already sporting this new motor, giving them an edge in competition. Professional angler and Bassmaster Elite Series professional, Drew Benton has had the Move on his boat for a few months. Benton says, “The Power-Pole Move is, hands down the fastest, most quiet, and solidly built trolling motor I have ever run. In every category, they raised the bar and without question is

    Serious Anglers and Forward-Facing Sonar

    Live sonar has been the most common topic in the world of bass fishing for several years. In 2015 Garmin released Panoptix, the first of its kind.  Three years later Garmin released LiveScope. The incredible screenshots that anglers were capturing from LiveScope went viral.  Being able to distinguish different fish species in real time with the use of sonar was something special.  Not only identifying fish, but watching your lure being pulled through the water while fish chase is exciting!  

    Since then major fishing trails have been dominated with the use of this new technology on nearly all bodies of water. Not only bass fisherman, but anglers of all species; most notably, Crappie anglers desire the opportunity to fish with forward facing sonar.  Saltwater anglers are also utilizing this technology to target all different species offshore such as Cobia, Redfish, Flounder,
