ProFinder Fishing Charts initially developed laminated charts for the southeast coast. Because they were developed by a fisherman – for fishermen – the charts quickly became the angler’s choice. It didn’t take the Southern Kingfish Association (SKA) long to recognize their value to tournament fishermen. ProFinder became the “Official Chart” of sportsfishing’s largest saltwater tournament trail.

Jack Holmes (Director – SKA) challenged me to take things to a new level. As the technology of GPS plotters improved, I wondered if it was possible to write waypoint data to various “chips” to enable instant uploads of prime fishing spots into these new GPS plotters.

I went to work on this concept, and introduced the first PRO CHIP a year later. Beta versions were given to several Pro Division teams to test. Suddenly, these teams found themselves in the money! PRO CHIPS are now available for the waters from Montauk, NY around the coastline to Fourchon, La.

In January 2010, I introduced the first “Freshwater PRO CHIP” for Lake Jordan at the Raleigh Boat & Tackle show. Currently, we have a Top 10 ranked Bassmaster Classic winner testing the product for inland lakes.

Featured 3 times in the Angler Magazine, also found in the book Mastering King Mackerel by the legendary author and fisherman Terry Lacoss.
 

Over half of the 2009 Top 10 Pro Division teams fish a PRO CHIP.
 

INSTANT UPLOADS – The PRO CHIP eliminates the time consuming task of manually punching numbers into your GPS Plotter. Upload hundreds of proven fishing spots with the local names instantly.
 

WAYPOINT MANAGEMENT SERVICE – we have the technology to convert personal waypoint data from any brand to another, and to convert LORAN TD’s, then write that data to the appropriate chip.
