You won’t believe how incredibly detailed this fishing map is!

Can you guess how many trips went into making this extremely detailed Insight Genesis map! Each red line represents a path taken across the lake.

Bruce Carlson and friends uploaded 224 individual trips on Minnesota’s Ten Mile Lake (Cass County) over two springs and summers (2013-2014) to create a custom contour map. You don’t have to make that many individual trips to create a comprehensive custom contour map of your favorite lake,  but if you do, the level of detail you can achieve is practically mind-boggling.

C-MAP Genesis Edge bottom-hardness, vegetation, map layers help Skeet Reese find fish fast

In the video below, Lowrance Pro Skeet Reese shows off C-MAP’s game-changing Genesis Edge bottom-hardness and vegetation map layers. These innovative fish-finding tools, he says, are “totally different than anything we’ve seen before.”

With its bottom-hardness and vegetation map layers, C-MAP Genesis (formerly called “Insight Genesis”) is “giving us a lot more tools to break down a lake” faster, says Skeet, a former Bassmaster Classic Champion and current Major League Fishing competitor. “It’s pretty cool. [It’s] allowing us to be a lot more efficient on the water.”

Skeet’s observations came prior to launching on Louisiana’s Cross Lake in a sudden-death round of a Major League Fishing Challenge Cup competition. All boats in MLF Challenge Cup events are outfitted with Lowrance GPS/sonar units loaded with C-MAP contour charts. Select C-MAP charts are exclusive to Lowrance, Simrad and B&G sonar/GPS units.
