Hook 7 or Helix 7
I've got one of each, and a new in the box Helix5 gen 2, that I picked up at a rummage for $100.
Or if you want larger and easier to read, go for the 9" models.
Go for the model that gives you sonar and gps map.
Both are pretty easy to use.
Either will work great for you.
No real need for side image, down image, chirp 7.2, etc, for the type of fishing you do.
If you can find a discontinued G2 or G3 model, ( generation 2 or 3 ) it will save you some $$$$. Expect to spend $450 to $750 +++.
Of course there are lots of other options. Garmin owners love them.
Determine budget first.
Then check out a few in person for easy of use.
