I had one and it was pretty decent for the cost and was very user friendly. The directions in the box were pretty horrible but I recently got an Lowrance elite4 hid (which I love) and its directions were significantly better so maybe I just got a screw up. The screen was bright and easy to read...

That's along the line of thinking I was doing, except instead of stumps, rocks to avoid in the Snake River when I go to set up my decoys in the dark when I go duck hunting. Thanks again for the tips everybody, the videos were quite informative and gave me a better grip on how to adjust the...

Thanks for that tutorial! It makes me even more jacked for my Lowrance to get here! That's sweet that I can go back and mark a spot in my tracks as a waypoint. Pretty dang awesome! I can't even begin to tell you guys how appreciative I am! This site rocks! Hopefully I can pay the help...

I am indebted to you! I just popped on the Lowrance and what a deal! It's got everything I wanted, including down scan, mapping, and the whole 9 yards! Can't wait to put it to work! Thanks again! This site is AWESOME!!

Thanks for the heads up on the Overtons deal Bassman and the advice regarding the navigation Onthewater! I hope the weather turns more kind in your neck of the woods for soft water fishing! We've had much warmer winter than normal this year, I even caught my first fish ever in February using...

Thanks for all of the tips guys, it's nice to hear real experience from people who have actually used this stuff instead of some part times sales jockey that my novice knowledge surpasses. That's good to know down imaging doesn't work when anchored, I had no clue! So the flasher mode is no good...

Thanks for the input guys! I'm pretty torn between the two. I am sure the Garmin 301c will do a better job on sonar mode and I really like the flasher mode for jigging, but the allure of the down imaging on the Humminbird 197c di is pretty tempting. As soon as I convince myself that I want...

I've been lurking here for quite some time and this site is great! I have a tinny that I have plans to modify utilizing the wealth of info on this forum. But I do have a question regarding my first project with the boat, a fishfinder: What would be better, a cheaper unit with down imaging (like...
