I am looking to buy a fish finder next week and need some help/advice or possibly a kick in the butt.
Boat is 24ft aluminum pontoon
mostly fish fresh water on TVA lakes(lot's of steep banks, not a lot of shallow water)
would use once a year for a week in salt water, (inside of the Crystal coast)
5 ft to 150 ft water
would like depth reading also
would like a basic chart plotter to use for A to B navigating (have compass and paper map back up)
have read about 50hz/200hz and the different cone patterns etc.,
Budget is $500 or so, the last week I have looked at everything offered in my price range and still can not make a decision
any words of advice?
Thanks
