I was out fishing on Thursday and I decided to take a break and use Active Captain to update my 106SV. Failed the first time when I turned the phone off before it was done. Second time I waited until it started updating and it went smoothly. How cool is it to update my FF on the water in my kayak.

Here is a video of the day (I did not record the update since I sort of block the screen). I definitely feel like I owe a lot of my success to my 106SV and steadycast. I spent most of the day fishing 5-10' humps in the middle of the Willamette river here in Portland and I can use the unit to set myself up in great position every time.

Day started out as a dink fest but the fish and the fishing got better as the day wore on. No big fish (big fish was only around 2lbs) but catching 51 smallmouth is fun no matter what.
