Will Do!

http://www.basspro.com/shop/en/online-catalogs?catalogCode=BassPro/Mrn_20_85_tab Check this out for future sales on Lowrance Units, Garmin. Bass Pro will have triple Crown prices as well. This as is not yet posted, but available. If you are buying now, you will get gift cards and free installation if you need it. I believe the Spring Fishing classic is coming after this one, but the spring classic will not have the triple reward giftcards. I have always been a garmin user and have had 2 Lowrance units. Garmin is far easier to me, but I really think Fish Reveal is neat. Second, I want a new trolling motor and instead of the force, I might be going to get the ultrex. Might get a humming bird just to work with it.

They have new units that come with the UHD now. They are called Echomap UHD. I purchased my UHD from eBay?used

I am not a fan of any lowrance hook with and "x" in the model name. They were always under powered in my experience. The fish reveal is a new feature for the line that I think is cool. I would play with it at a store or get it where you can return it... I set my unit is up with a battery to test before hitting the water.

Going into my third season with this. Great price on Amazon and I have not had any issues. If I got 6-7 years like the guys above, I would.be okay with that.

Are they networked? Recently an update made me got from two cards to one... I have two 93sv plus units

I second this.

Same here... In my kayaks and my float tubes, the bass did not care. They would follow me in my tube... Turtles follow me too, but they follow anything .

Congrats! I hope one day have mine in Arkansas... I dream about taking it to some of .y honey holes down there Congrats! I hope one day have mine in Arkansas... I dream about taking it to some of .y honey holes down there

I hear you. The kayak was my very best fishing investment. I have 5 kayaks right now, but I went backwards. I started with kayaks and then bought a boat. I like my boss and I go places I would not take the kayak...but the kayak experience is second to none. Glad other people are getting into it. I started in like 2014. Made a kayak a fishing kayak. Digging them up is fun. Getting drug around is fun. Even more is I leave work, grab my kayak and go fishing... Better yet, my kayak would go with me to work and other places just because I could find almost anytime to launch. I could fish anywhere and anytime. Boat, not the case. Takes more money, gas, etc. I still drag my boat for two hours and fish for one... But I can also take my kayak 20 mins and fish for ours. Still catch big bass and have fun. What makes me change is the desire to learn a new bod of water or try something different in different environment. So, it's all good. Kayak, float tube, or boat. I am happy. Let's not forget about the shore

Not bad... I paid $1200 for two 93SV, no UHD and the old g2, non navionics maps I paid $390 for the GVC 20 blackbox and gt34 UHD, used on eBay. I paid $1500 for livescope. Only this I got out of the bunch is networking..one would still need to buy that.. Which buy the way I made my own networking package. Many people have inquired about getting one. I will have all the details this weekend or next week. Saves well over $150 or move than going with Garmin.

Yes

I am using one of the GT UHD transducers. I just looked at the new Bass Pro Catalog. Garmin has the new EchoMap UHD units that come with the Ultra Hi-Res transducer without having to purchase the add-on like I did. Also, Lowrance has the new Hook Reveal. The hook series now have fish reveal. That s not bad. That's the way it goes.. You wait, you get better.

Thank you all... I am very new to striper fishing and rarely target them... I have only caught one. I need to hit grizzly island and have some fun!

Crappie lures, large crankbaits, ned rigs... Trout fight harder than largemouth bass, so it is always fun to get them... they are just slick and slimy. Even more fun is catcing catfish on spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, jigs, and other lures. Always a heart stopper... OH SHOOT, HERE IS MY NEW BASS RECORD... then you see it is a trout or a catfish, lol!

Keep on preaching @J Francho

Same here. I love to fish for bass, but bluegill are my favorite fish. Currently, I am just having too much fun catching crappie. When the summer comes, I will be all over the gar and bowfin. I will change up species or go multi-species some days. Most of the time I go out, I am going for a specific fish and bring that equipment... But I always bring something that will change the game. I will also eat each of the species I catch, but majority of the I catch are back swimming in the water. I don't have to and usually do not fish all day. I go for an hour or a few hours. I just have to fish... Yeah, I have drug the boat for a couple hours just to fish one hour, lol.

I didn't think I would use touchscreen... Boy way I wrong. I use it all the time... Not just with livescope. I use it when I am patrolling on the console. I will mark spots. On the bow, I am marking spots and zooming in with livescope. My bottoms are hardly used. I disagree with one user that without panoptics, there are better. I tested many units,even bout s lowrance unit that I thought I would used with my Garmin units. The lowrance touch units were not as easy register touch. Garmin had the best interface, no questions. Lowrance feels cheaper. Ray marine is just a lowrance unit for a different market. I was never impressed with Ray marine. Garmin sells one of the very best value packages. You can get a 9"screen for $600. You keep saying that Garmin doesn't have the best picture, but I have get to regret the picture I get. I still catch fish. I still see the structure that I need to see to determine where I want to fish. Down and side imaging only let's see sea structure... It is d traditional that gives you some of the very best information. Seriously, if it's not lifescope, you're not going to be wasting that much time on the sonar while you're fishing. Livecope is the only thing add truly encourages you to watch the screen so much. I try not to do it as it sometimes unfair, but it's just so amazing to see in action. Otherwise all the fish finders do the same. hummingbird has some of the best imaging, but the interface lacks intuitive precision. a screen so nice yet lacks touch or any intuitive actions to get in and get out. Lawrence is not as easy either. could not believe the men you have to go through to get the basic actions that you just get out of garmin.

Garmin is not the best with pictures.. I showed what you get with their best package. Hummingbird's Mega is the best picture out there, but I do not like the interface at all. Nothing beats livescope in action. Garmin has done me well with customer service and they product quality. With all that said, I still use my monochrome Garmin echo 150, 200 , striker 43cv, and the this super terrible lowrance color unit. There is only so much I really need from the fish finder. Everyone has different opinions and we all catch fish. Keep on trying our units and get the one that fits you the most.

Get out there and play with it... Yep, no fishing, just messing with it. Do it every season so you learn in different conditions what settings to change

Purchased on Amazon. $40. This kit came with the pugs and the nipples/barbs. Additionally, I purchase 3 hose clamps and a 3 foot gas line from the auto store. Will post a video later today. I thought I out a link in post Moeller Clear Site Water Separating Fuel Filter System for outboard Motors (3/8" NPT, Composite) https://amzn.to/36TY03M 

Shoot... I take like 6 rods, like 4 stow-aways, my fish finder, anchor, net, cameras... I mean really a lot of stuff. I use a milk crate. I made rod holders our of water pipe. I mainly use a 12 foot tarpon, but I have other 10 foot kayaks. I don't use rod thethers... I did flip once in my first year... Lost cameras, rods, and other gear.

Great choice. You can always add panoptics one day... Maybe Garmin will make their own fish reveal. Even just and overlay would be nice. Garmin has the best user interface to me... The touchscreens are actually useful and not just an afterthought like with other devices. I think mega is beautiful, but I just wasn't impressed with the units. I have livescope and upgraded to the UHD transducer. It's not mega, but it is still very good
