Shin's Ultimate Lowrance Setup |
|
Bass Pro Tour professional Shin Fukae has one of the sharpest rigs on tour, and his Lowrance electronics setup is no exception. Fukae runs five Lowrance HDS-12 Live units on his Bass Cat. Fukae's console setup is relatively standard with one unit dedicated to 2D sonar and mapping, while the other is used for side and down scan with active imaging. Where his setup becomes unique is at the bow where Shin utilizes three HDS 12-Live units. Fukae employs two Active Target Live transducers so he can run both Down/Forward and Scout mode simultaneously. The third unit upfront is reserved for his mapping and 2D Sonar. It's safe to say Shin has the water column covered from top to bottom, and front to back with his Lowrance setup.

Roland & Mary Ann Martins Marina And Resort |
|
It all started back in 1965 when Roland would come down to Lake Okeechobee to spend some time fishing in with his friends. During the 70’s he and, then wife, Mary Ann would come down and spend the winters filming his Outdoor Fishing TV show called Fishing With Roland Martin, they both fell in love with Lake Okeechobee and the Clewiston area. Big bass, warm weather and a quaint little town full of southern hospitality is what they both loved here. In 1981 the Martin’s bought a little fishing shack marina, some vacant property, and decided to open up Roland Martin Marina. It was a very humble beginning and they started very small. Armed with the love and passion for fishing… a great vision for what they wanted to have, “The Best Bass fishing destination on Lake Okeechobee ” nothing was going to stop them. In 1986 they started building the property up into what it is today. As of 2008 Roland Martin Marina and Resort consists of motels, condos, professional guide service, restaurant, TIKI bar & grill, marina store, tackle store, airboat rides, marine service center, RV park and our constantly looking for more great ideas to complement the property and make your fishing trip even better.
