[QUOTE="Stlfishin, post: 407511, member: 20238"] I have my Fishfinder/GPS console mounted but my transducer is on my trolling motor. On the river when I hit a deeper hole where I can't see bottom, I just turn my fish finder around, drop the TM and check it every once in a while. On the lake I use a Navionics map and run to the depths I want to fish and then do the same thing. It works well for me, especially on the shallow clear rivers I fish, a fish finder is of little use on these rivers. I do use my GPS more to mark spots and make notes etc. on potential or actual productive areas I come across. Most of us bought jets to fish shallow water in river & those out of the way places; fish finders despite their advertised technologies don't do well in the skinny water. Knowing seasonal movements/patterns, location preferences and learning to read the water (river) will not only save you from buying something you don't need but in time will put you on more fish.
