Hey guys, so im a pretty new fisherman when it comes to fishing from a boat. Most my experience is just from fishing at streams and rivers for trout. Recently me and my friend bought a 17 foot boat for fishing, but we are not having any luck fishing with it. We are usually out at castaic and pyramid lake over in socal.

So now we are looking to get a fish finder. We really dont want anything too crazy and hopefully in the price range of about a 100 dollars. We are pretty confident that if we can find the fish, we can catch them. But we are getting mixed opinions in what type of fish finder is best, and many people have been telling us that if we dont invest 4 or 5 hundred dollars, we will be getting a worthless unit.

Can anyone recommend or advise on getting a good but cheap fish finder. Oh and if it helps, we are always in fairly clear water in lakes. Thanks!!!
