Hey guys, I've been a weekend, texas rig worm, farm pond type of fisherman for the past couple years and haven't strayed too far from that method until this year. I've recently put a trolling motor on my canoe and have been heading to some of the small to medium size lakes in Kentucky. I've also been reading both of KVD's books and watching a lot of "The Bass Pros" DVDs to try and learn as much as I can. Through all of that, I'm coming to the conclusion that in order to really be successful, it may be a good idea to start looking at fishfinders. I'm not looking for anything too crazy (as I said, all I have right now is a canoe) but something that will help me know depth, temp, structure, etc. I like the Lowrance Elite4x and Elite4xDSI but should I get a combo deal with chartplotter/mapping software as well. I'm a little confused at how all that works. Also, would I be able to hook it up to the same battery as the trolling motor somehow or do I have to have two battery's. Any and all info would help! Thanks

Hello fellow outdoorsme, My name is Roger but friends call me Trey. I grew up fishing with my Dad until he passed away when I was 9. In the last couple years I've picked it back up and fell in love with bass fishing all over again. I'm somewhat raw when it comes to the knowledge of the sport but I am a sponge when it comes to learning. Hopefully this site helps me find 'em!
