Fishfinders

Subject: Fishfinders Wed Aug 24, 2011 7:55 pm

I have a 2010 hobie outback and am looking to put a fishfinder on it. Before anybody asks im looking to spend the least amount possible.But that does not mean i willnot spend if i have to i rather spend more now then spend a little now only to find i shouldnt have spent more in the 1st place. Right now i fish mostly the inlets and back bays here in NJ. Im hoping to start to do some ocean fishing. So my ques is what should i be looking for in a FF (GPS,1 BEAM OR 2) And also what units are you guys happy with.

THANKS
JIM

Hi Jim, Lowrance has some cheaper models that work really well, but I find that their customer service sucks!!! I have a couple of Hummingbirds and I like them a lot. Their customer service is stellar as well! Don from Kayak Angler Pro Shops was running a killer deal on FF/GPS units here on this site and I bought one.

Even though I grew up on the local waters here, I always use my GPS. I was stuck in a heavy fog in NY a few years ago almost over night. It got pretty scary. Here is a helpful link;
