Lowrance's HDS-5 / HDS-7 high-definition chartplotter systems make fish scared

by Darren Murph posted Nov 29th 2008 at 8:08AM

If you reckoned high-def was confined to the living room and / or theater, you've got another thing comin', partner. Lowrance has just introduced two new GPS-Chartplotter and Fishfinder combination units, both of which are the first on the market to combine "high-definition chartplotter capabilities and Lowrance's Broadband Sounder functionality into a compact, easy-to-install system." Of course, you won't be able to really take advantage of the HD inclusions on the 480 x 480 (HDS-5) / 640 x 480 (HDS-7) displays, but maybe the definition of "high-definition" is different on the lake. Hmmph.

Anglers hooked on Outdoor Channel's HD fishing programming

by Darren Murph posted Jul 17th 2008 at 5:20PM

For those who thought that fishing on TV was dead as soon as ESPN cut it out in large part from its NFL-slanted coverage, Outdoor Channel would like to politely inform you that you're wrong. Dead wrong. According to the numbers, ratings for the network's Friday night fishing block increased 77% over the first half of 2007. Needless to say, the bulk of programming found in this segment is shot and aired in high-def, and just to make sure onlookers stay hooked, the channel will be adding in The Catch: Costa Rica and Fly Fishing the World (both captured in high-definition) in Q3. Anyone here helping to boost those ratings? Don't be shy now.

For those with DISH Network, chances are you've already realized that World Fishing Network HD joined the lineup this past Monday. Nevertheless, the channel -- along with Insight Sports -- is eager for the world to know that WFN HD has indeed landed a carriage agreement on the aforementioned satcaster. In case you couldn't guess from the channel's name, it promises to deliver 24 / 7 fishing action, including shows like Dave Mercer's Facts of Fishing, The New Fly Fisher, Fishing the Flats, Fins N' Skins Classic Adventures and George Poveromo's Saltwater Fishing. Never mind buying a rod and reel -- just kick back and watch the real anglers do it.
