shinbob, great report
Which ff do you have, been thinking about upgrading to a side scan on my yak
I just picked up a Humminbird 999. Was thinking about getting the new Lowrance Gen 3, but they are a chunk of change, and with the $200 rebate the bird was a much better deal. Plus I may get an iPilot Link in the future, which only works with Humminbirds.
If you are looking for a good, small FF for your yak, you should look at the new Humminbird Helix units. $500 for a model that has side scan and down scan, and cartography. Though how do you plan to mount the transducer? On my yak and portable FF, I suction-cup the transducer to the side. It points sideways, but it doesn't matter with sonar only. But with a side-scan transducer, you need to mount it so that it points fore and aft, and that could be tricky on a kayak.
I think I saw you ,were you in a crestliner .me and my pal cory were doing a video in a white jon-boat I wished cory would have brought his dr's it would have saved us from all the extra reeling ...we were seeing all the same things on his graphs .I like the big screens..........T/O..........
Thanks for the report and congrats on the catching!
It sounds like the boat is ship shape. I like that fishfinder.
