C-map Reveal
Submitted by striker on Sat, 2022-10-29 08:09
Hi Guys,
bought a new cmap reveal which won't run on my older simrad touch screen so was wondering which chart plotter people would recommend to run the cmap in the 7-9 inch size?

Thinking of putting it in
Thinking of putting it in hds aswell,is it worth the coin Vs say navionics? Fish south coast and occasionally mid west with a bit of deep dropping

In my personal opinion no, I
In my personal opinion no, I rely more on my navionics chart than C map. I reckon cotour deviations are more telling.

C map
That is a website or webpage somewhere that lists what plotters will run c map, I looked it up once but can't remember where I found it I think I might have emailed navionics.
My spots are so secret even the fish don't know about them !

Elite FS9 is a cheaper
Elite FS9 is a cheaper option and it will display the charts on older unit from the FS9 thru ethernet if theres no legacy software issues.

I'm running it on HDS7. Amazing but not too much coverage outside of the 3 Mile where I fish

to cmap or not to cmap.
This why there are so few fish left in the ocean off of our coast. It is to easy to find good ground and then bash the hell out of it. there was a fishing club north of perth that gave all members a grided map with every fish you could catch on which grid area. It doesn't take long to fish out areas especially the ones with large scale and slow growing speicies. Before GPS came into vogue you could go out with just a sounder hunt around and come home with a feed, sadly those days are gone. To much technology is whats killing our fishing, plus bastards that don't do the right thing.

Are you for real? Before GPS

The days of using a sounder to pillage the ocean are gone, because plotters are too good and combined with sounders too many ppl are pillaging the ocean??
I agree, the fishery is fcucked because people of yesteryear thought nothing of taking home 10 dhufish and 15 snapper in a day - because they considered that 'a feed'.
Now tech enables us to pick off the rest. That's only part of it.
That, plus bigger boats (a well heeled guy had a 17 footer once upon a time), 4 strokes and better fuel economy with more range so more ground to cover, braided line - better lures, reels with 20kg of drag, better understanding of fish habits - almanacs... more boat ramps, marinas, sealed roads to remote places.. The fish don't stand a flying snowflakes chance in hell!!
But let's bitch we can't get a feed with only 1 dhu & 1 pink a trip.
And yes, triple the fines and confiscate the boats of those caught doing wrong by the fishery..

On the head. Just like all
On the head. Just like all the old boys complaining about the lack of crabs saying it's being overfished and then offering up a comparision like "we used to be able to fill the back of a ute up with big crabs"....

Old School
I am one from the "Old School", sure I have caught 10 dhueys a day--- son and I got our limit of 20 pinks in 11 minutes off Gnaraloo----------but it was within the rules as were in force then AND there was no GPS and only a paper sounder. So its not as if we hammered our spots continiously trip after trip.
A great friend of mine's Grandfather died and he was gifted with his marine charts and log books [the grandfather was a professional fisherman who sailed an old Broome pearling lugger] All the marks on the chart had a number and in the log book a corresponding number with a drawing of land marks and a depth in fathoms, after much searching we lined up the landmarks but the depth on the sounder was all wrong, book said say ten fathoms yet we got something like 12-13, then the penny dropped. Grandfather stood about 6 foot 6 and doing a full stretch for him to record depth would have been nearly 7 feet not the 6 feet to a fathom measurement.
Go back then to when trailer boats were starting to come about, on a good weekend you would see 10-15 trailers at the ramp, now you will find hundreds in every ramp from Carnarvon to Albany and if all took their limit on the one day its a bloody lot of fish, so you cannot blame me/us for what we did without technology in our day. We didnt have Gps, only the paper sounders that cost you a fortune then and rolls of paper for them that you tried to use over and over to get your moneys worth out of it

are you for real
I'm from the generation that would go out using nothing but a compass a log line and a marlin paper sounder. And you could take a lot of snapper and dhuies because they were there and not over fished. Mainly as you said the boats were smaller and there was fewer of them. But look at it now you have nav maps that show just about every lump in the ocean so its not hard to find a lump that will produce fish but so do the other 100 boats that are out there. I know a bloke ,when the snapper limit was ten dropped anchor behind passage rock and came in with 84 snapper, selling them obviousl. He was warned off and told to stay on Cockburn sound side which was his normal stamping ground, fishiers also chatted him and said they knew he was doing it and they had time on there side to catch him,but never did.
I was talking to a friend in QLD today and he was of the same opion as you and myself, huge fines, confiscation, but they should also ban them holding fishing license and cray license for life, nor should they be allowed to own a boat anymore. No boat no problem. But less technology would mean more fish. My opion any way.
Cheers.

There is a few of us old boys
There is a few of us old boys who never got into the catch and release 30 dhuy's in 60m of water each day, based on good GPS waypoints. Just for fun! Each generation has its problems, no point blaming people who work within the rules and accepted guidelines of the day.
Myself I used to fish off two rocks in a 12ft tinnie no sounder or GPS and get my feed of Dhu back in the 80's. Never went out deep so never hit up the big breeding aggregations. Also never filled up the boat with more than we needed.
Cheers

Yeah I saw and experienced
Yeah I saw and experienced something like that in the early 90's Pete at a mate's shack in Leaman. No GPS back then just ideas where to go and hit the lucky patch. Saw over 20 Dhuies come in one day between 3 boats, never thought anything of it as it was entirely legal.

good man
You are obviously a man with a good sense of whats right. I was the same. Two good fish were enough. Never had a freezer then either.

Science on the Breeding
Science on the Breeding periods should be pretty spot on now....I'm sure we all accept that moving forward.
The Fkn pro's should too.
