So ignoring the fact that it would cost more than my whole boat, I'm seriously considering the upgrade to side imaging/down imaging. Does anyone here use it yet? Has it really added to your fishing experience?
My goals in adding it are -
1) Get on fish much faster - learn a few new lakes - use it locate bass and bass holding structure below the surface/or in stained water.
2) Locate decent crappie schools without spooking them too much and being able to catch some.
3) Locate walleye's for a new catching experience (never caught one)
3) Add GPS to the boat so I don't feel so lost on lakes where I can't see the ramp any more.
Will it fit the bill here? Or will I spend so much time tinkering with it, I'll actually get less fishing done? I'm computer/electronic proficient anyway.
If so humminbird seems the cheapest, should I go with a 700 series or do my best to get a used 900 series? I might be able to swing the 900 series if I sell some toys to the cash, but I'd hate to spend so much on something that might be obsolete in 2 years. I'm pretty sure the 1100 series is out of the price range.
Any ideas?
