Wanting to get into this! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Bert Vega · 01-22-2014, 03:40 PM

wanted to ask you guys another question. I purchased a Lowrance 4 HDI. Which I am still waiting for. Supposed to be in mid feb. I was at West Marine today and noticed they had a few FF for sale. My question is should I cancell and get refunded and get a Lowrance 5 HDI or something else along those lines? Or just wait for the 4 to show up. There seems to be a $100 dollar price difference for the 5 or raymarine and so on.

Don't wait, get the fishfinder now!!!! Consider the HDS models too, you can use a airmar thru hull transducer. Just buy it from west marine with the warranty...you will be needing it.

Just left my office on my way. I hope Nomad doesn't give me any grief. On getting my money back.

Went down and ordered it. Will be at riverside store tomorrow or Friday at latest. Which is way better then a month from now.

Instant gratification wins everytime! The larger display is totally worth it, in fact you can't have a display large enough on the PA.

Now that you're setup, cruise down and fish the Rady Tournament this Saturday at Tidelands. Entering would be a good for the kids, otherwise just cruise down and meet/fish with a bunch of fellow yakers and ask questions in person.

I got my FF this morning. Even better then Friday. I would really like to go to Rady this Saturday. But I have family plans that prevent me from going. I may (long shot) go out Sunday somewhere.

Just wanted to give BIG thanks to everyone here! And props to OEX (Grant) mission bay. I have everything checked off on my list! I need a little more tackle. But I have enough to get out on the water. I can't wait to do some fishing! Again thanks to everyone for the help/advise. Bought my PA one month ago today.

Done and took it fishing. It was awesome.

I am glad I introduced you to the south bay.

It was great seeing you have fun on the water like a little kid again.

Cheers.
