Installed this unit last year on my 23' Striper. Transom mount transducer installation went well with detailed instructions from manufacturer. Easy set up, easy to view screen with adjustable tilt. Nice feature with dual frequency and ability to split the screen with separated frequency on either side, also has bottom lock, A-scope and user friendly controls/settings. Auto mode is sometimes ineffective but it may be due to losing bottom while cruising(25+knots). I can't seem to be able to differentiate fish as well as some other units i've seen but feel it's operator error, haven't spent enough time on it(and over fish!) to dial it in but all the components are available to do that on this unit. Good value for the $$ imho. May be a much better unit with thru hull 'ducer or in hull 'ducer.
The LS4100 is a dual frequency fish finder designed for small pleasure craft. It features a waterproof 5" high-definition silver bright LCD screen that offers a remarkably detailed picture of fish and bottom structure. With a resolution of 240 (H) x 320 (V) pixels, it has the highest resolution in its class! The LS4100 offers dual frequency capabilities, both 50 and 200 kHz, and has an outstanding 300 W RMS (2,400 Watt peak-to-peak) output power, making this fish finder the leader in its class.
Basic display modes include single Low Frequency or High Frequency, Dual, Bottom-Lock Expansion, Bottom Zoom, A-scope, Marker Zoom and two Nav Data display modes. Choose from a variety of operating modes, including manual or two auto modes, fishing or cruising. The cruising mode uses a higher clutter refection setting than the fishing mode, making it useful to track the bottom while cruising.
The range can be changed manually or automatically . The LS4100 will redraw the entire echogram so that the contour can be shown seamlessly.
The LS4100 has the unique ability to be a handy navigational organizer when connected to appropriate sensors. It can display a variety of information including: water temperature, wind direction/speed , Lat/Lon, XTE and distance run in a graphical or text format. With the BBWGPS GPS/WAAS receiver connected, the "Mini-Navigator" feature is capable of storing up to 12 waypoints with a programmable name. Any waypoint can be selected as a destination.

A client has hired you to run his new boat and "teach" him how to catch fish. You just got done running 90 nautical miles and burned more fuel than his family car will likely use in the next six months. You deploy all the usual suspects into the spread. As dark grows lighter with the comming dawn the ocean erupts with fish big fish.
The client is impressed that you came far and found them but the baits go untouched. You feel the pressure as exploding fish are ignoring the array of machines, jets, and naturals you are offering. Then you bust it out, the Offshore Innovations Match The Hatch Bar... The crew looks confused. The fish are big but these baits are small. The crew lives in a world where bigger is better. The fish don't read the rule book though.
The bar reaches its mark. My hand adjusts the lever drag and before I even stand vertical. The bar disapeears in a swath of foam. The reel screams in protest. Game on!
As the fight ensues. The radio chatter bemoans others facing lots of fish that won't eat. You get that real good feeling inside that you have the "edge" on this fine morning. With a thud, the fish is deposited on the deck.
Over and over the scene repeats itself til the client can no longer turn a crank. Course is set for home. Smiles abound. Thanks to the little baits with a big punch... Give yourself an edge too...
Hatch Bait Aussie Bar
Offshore Innovations Hatch Baits evolved from a simple saying Match the Hatch. Many tuna when being dressed are found to have very small squid in there stomachs. If this is what they are feeding on then why not give them what they want? This is where old theories meet new technology. See for yourself and Match the Hatch

ALL HUNTERS HAVE HAD A MOMENT WHEN THEY JUSTED MISSED, SHOT OVER OR EVEN UNDER THE GAME.
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN YOU ASK YOURSELF MY SET UP IS PERFECT I DID ALOT OF PRACTICE.
YOUR PROBLEM WAS SIMPLE, YOU DIDN'T KNOW THE REAL DISTANCE TO THE TARGET.
YOU NEED ONE OF THESE...
TO KNOW THE DISTANCE BETWEEN...
YOU AND THIS !!!
SO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR YOURSELF AND THE ANIMAL BUY A LEUPOID RANGEFINDER HERE AT OUR OWN PRIVATE STORE.
RX-III Digital Laser Rangefinder
Make your extreme long-range shooting more accurate with the RX®-III and True Ballistic Range® technology. Accurate range in the field can mean the difference between a hit or a miss. The Leupold® RX-III digital laser rangefinder does more than deliver the straight line distance you get the True Ballistic Range to your target, based on your rifle's or bow's ballistics.
•8x magnification gives you plenty of power, with a wide field of view to track movement.
•Rugged, waterproof construction.
•Scan mode continuously updates the range as you track a target or scan an area.
•The precision thermometer gives you digital readings in °C or °F.
•Accurate to 1,200 yards, with measurements in feet, yards, or meters.
•The Quick Set Rotary Menu® is easy to use, for fast customization of your RX-III. Also includes the Quick Start Mode.
•With a built-in inclinometer, the RX-III calculates the ballistics range to your target, then displays it as a holdover aim point, an MOA adjustment, or the equivalent horizontal distance.
•Battery power indicator for easy battery level checks.
•The common CR2 lithium camera battery is easy to change in the field.
•Multiple Ballistics Settings RX rangefinders with True Ballistic Range (TBR®) provide accurate aiming information matched to the performance of your rifle or bow. By calculating the incline, line of sight range to the target, and a projectile?s ballistics, your RX provides rifle hunters using Leupold Ballistics Aiming System reticles as well as bow hunters the correct equivalent horizontal distance for precise shooting on an incline. In other words, aim using the True Ballistic Range, not the line of sight range. Rifle hunters can also get this data as an MOA adjustment or a holdover point. With practice, long distance/steep angle shooting will become second nature. Dial in your RX to one of seven TBR ballistics settings for the rifle and three for the bow for incredible accuracy. TBR is effective to 800 yards for most rifle cartridges.
•Multiple modes with the RX Series, you can do something you can't do with any other rangefinder: use multiple modes at once to tailor your readings to the conditions. For example: scouting a whitetail in the rain? Use Rain Mode and 1st Target Mode at the same time to achieve the most accurate range possible. Only RX rangefinders give you the ability to adapt to changing conditions like this. Leupold's exclusive Quick Set Rotary Menu is intuitive and easy to use, giving you fast access to all the incredible performance modes of your new RX rangefinder.
•The Match 13® Reticle System one of the most useful customizable features of your RX rangefinder is the Match 13 Reticle System you'll always have fast access to each of the 13 reticles, so you always have the right reticle for any situation. Each reticle is available with the Leupold Plus Point , for an added level of accuracy in pinpointing a target.
•Accessories included: The useful carrying case features a bungee/hook closure for silent operation in the field, a battery, a dog clip for attaching to your pack, and an internal pocket for carrying batteries, instructions and other items. Also includes a lanyard, Tripod thread included, allowing steady mounting for accurate target acquisition.
Couldn't catch a mess of fish at sea world with a dip net.

Once again Admin proves no one works harder to bring fishermen great deals. Love the new store.
I have a few products that are featured. I have a raymarine 500DSX fishfinder and it by far the best one I have ever owned. When I got familiar with it I could mess with the scale and actually see flounder on the bottom. Well maybe not flounder but little dots that are flounder. Every time I see these dots on my screen I catch flounder. It is quite a machine and works in skinny water as well as the deep.
