Having said that I just went to the following garmin link and somehow the SonarCharts seem to be available again. Wonder if it's only temporary but for now I can see it in an internet browser:

This one is working for me too now. It was not working yesterday. Hope it sticks around. Thanks!

This was a good alternative, however they have cut data usage if you don't have an account.  I don't and I don't know what is involved in getting one, info or $.  Just haven't tried.  Also didn't spend much time on learning how to properly us it, just grabbed a bookmark posted on some other site. Map coverage and detail looked good when I did use it though.

Still working for me on freshwater bathymetry.  I wonder if the bookmark I saved is getting me through some kind of backdoor.

Yeah, that sucks, I used to use the free online NAVIONICS chart viever quite a bit, dissapointed they went away. There are some alternatives below, none I found with the detail level of Navionics charts.

Drillin' & Cuttin' / Re: Leaky Canopy
« Last post by BugBoy on April 17, 2025, 08:45:02 AM »
With the nice weather I pulled the tracks off the canopy, cleaned it up, and slathered the bolt holes and underside of the track with clear silicone. It is a two person job to re-install the tracks, one inside and one outside. I decided to not use the flex seal because it didnt have an UV protectant. Now wait for the caulk to cure and hope for a rainy day to see if my effort paid off!!

Let's Talk Kayak Fishing / RIP Navionics Chart Viewer
« Last post by Clayman on April 16, 2025, 05:45:50 PM »
This was one of my favorite free resources for checking out bottom contours and substrate types. I recently learned that Garmin went in and dismantled the Chart Viewer last summer, and is now asking for 150 bucks for the same charts that were originally free to view on an internet browser.

Does anyone have a link to bathymetry resources similar to what the Chart Viewer provided? The charts available in NANOOS and iBoater are okay, but nowhere near as detailed as the Navionics charts.

Big THANK YOU to Kayak Fishing Washington for securing a donation from Fisherman's Gold for the Brownlee Crappie Shootout Kayak Fishing Tournament

Owner Brock is making some great looking jigs and lures that really catches fish. Geared specifically for species in the Pacific Northwest, his lures trigger fish to bite and hang on.

He has lures that will work for multiple species to give you the best chance at filling your limit. His Electric Eel jigs will work for everything from rockfish to halibut and will absolutely kill on lings and cabezon.

I also like that he makes Flutter Jigs. Although they don't look like much I have used Flutter Jigs exactly like these to catch 13 different ocean species in one day. They can take some abuse and it does not effect the jigs at all. I especially like using them when I am fishing in deeper water. They get down to the bottom very quickly and keeps you in the zone even when wind and currents are moving you around.

He also has gear for Salmon, Crabs, and even squid!

The Brownlee Crappie Shootout 10 donation is for some of their Electric Eel Jigs in various sizes and colors.

I believe you can find their products at Sportco and Outdoor Emporium in the Seattle area or online at https://fishermansgold.com/

Thank you Brock for the great donation
