Humminbird/LakeMaster ChartSelect: Triadelphia, Rocky Gorge, Liberty Available

[deleonjo]

Humminbird/LakeMaster is now offering High Def maps for all of our Central Maryland lakes including Triadelphia and Rocky Gorge. They can be downloaded individually for $9.99ea.

Note: I attempted to purchase a map, but ran into some problems. I believe there is still a bug in my Humminbird firmware because it did not seem to encrypt my SD card properly. My 688ci HD DI unit is on the compatible unit list and has been updated with the latest v7.52 firmware. I have contacted Humminbird Customer Service about it and will update this thread when I get a response.

03/13/15: Update - Humminbird is still investigating the problem. They are sending me a blank SD card to try. Would be surprised if it fixes anything, but, at least they're trying.
03/15/15: Update - The 16GB SD card that Humminbird sent worked!!! Not sure why my 2GB and 4GB SD cards did not.

03/18/15: Update - I have confirmed w/Humminbird that there is a problem encrypting the smaller SD cards with the 600 series units (Needs to be a 16GB-32GB SD card). So for now I will have to purchase a 16GB card to get the Rocky Gorge map (already got one for free from Humminbird which I used to get the Triadelphia map). Seems excessively wasteful to use a 16GB memory for a 43MB file. Oh well. Hopefully, their software engineers will put a fix in soon and release updated firmware.

I need Rocky Gorge and Triadelphia. Once I get my new unit powered up I need to look into it.

anyone planning to head to rocky or triadelphia this sunday if the ice melts?

[deleonjo]

I bought the WSSC permit this weekend. Will try to go if I can't fish the bay. Strong NW winds predicted for Sunday which makes Triadelphia difficult. Upper RG is sometimes protected.

i was planning to launch from the browns bridge entrance

[deleonjo]

That's probably what I'll do if the wind forecast is correct. Hopefully I can get this map thing figured out by then. Going to try a different/larger SD card.

heres a quick pic i snapped just now from the browns bridge entrance. a lot of the ice has melted and hopefully more will melt by sunday. i would think that its definitely fishable.

The Northern Pike should be spawning just about now.

Lots of water being released from Triadelphia and heading down to Rocky Gorge. Last night, there was still plenty of ice on Triadelphia.

I could see from the boat launch at browns bridge that the current was moving quite fast

I just called the WSSC hotline at 301-206-4FUN and it says both reservoirs are closed for recreational activities.

.... that is lame. i drove over the gorge today on rt 29 on my way to work and saw that most of it was unfrozen now. i hope they open soon!
