Garmin helps catch the big ones at SKA
We just returned from the Southern Kingfish Association 2008 Nationals in Biloxi, Mississippi, and although we didn’t bring home a prize winning fish, we did bring home a lot of pictures (a close second to a prize winning fish, right?). On the water, the fisherman battled really tough weather and harsh conditions. It was a battle just to get on the water, but these guys didn’t let that stop them from reeling in the big one. With such harsh conditions, many guys relied on their GDL-30A for XM WX Satellite Weather data delivering sea surface temperatures and Fishbytes fish location data.

While we let the pros take to the water, we kept pretty busy at the tournament, too. When we weren’t showing and answering questions about our marine products at the booth, we were off recording tutorials aboard a 33-foot Contender equipped with twin GPSMAP 5212s and the GHC 10 Autopilot System. When we walked the docks, we saw a lot of Garmin HD radar domes, and found many boats equipped with the new GPSMAP 4200 and 5200 series MFDS. One of our favorite parts of the tournament however, was hearing testimony from fishermen who stopped by to tell us about how Garmin is helping them on the water. Great job to the fishermen aboard the over 300 boats who made it out despite the conditions, and congratulations to the winners!
