fish finder recommendation wanted - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

i also have purchased the hb 597c hd di from this site: http://www.anchorexpress.com/Color-L...nders-s/99.htm it was the cheapest that i could find on the internet under $600. it also has the one that matt bought, but not as good of a price that he got, but close.
if you look at the cabela's site, look in the bargain section. it may still be there. or try the search feature it may come up.

if you don't want to spend or need these options then i would suggest the lowrance m68c. it is nice and adequate for fishing needs. i started off with the x67c model last year (if i had known about the m68c i would have gotten that one,) but decided that i needed something more or was it just size envy????

I have the hb 586c HD version with the Thrull Hull transducer mounted on my Outback. The quality is way better than the lowrance black and white I had before. Now I swear I can see the

giving me the

salute when they go underneath me.
I was able to pick up mine off of fleabay for $230 shipped, it was a demo model. They usually are run $325ish.

go to your local Walmart. They now carry Fishfinder. under $100.
you are using them on a kayak that might flip over on you, so why spend lots of money. they work great. they are hummingbird brand.
good luck

BY far the best ff you can possible get is the eagle cuda 242, they stoPped making them because they didn't make enough money on them but you are in luck...... I am gonna give this sport up. After reading the darkhorses post and knowing I will never have that type skill. I figure what the hell it's jus not worth it. What this means to you is you will benefit from my kindness and let you buy mine for the low prices of $225.00 just pm me and we can set up the exchange.
