I do all kinds of fishing during all times of the year, and I normally do fairly well. But I am looking to take my fishing experience to the next level.
I fish from a 12' Lowe Jon boat and a 20' Procraft bass boat.
I live in Michigan.
And I am new to the market of fishfinder. Well I have a old Hummingbird but all its good for is telling me the depth of water.
I am looking for any advice for buying my first fishfinder.
My price range is around $500.
I have done some research and have looked at a Raymarine Dragonfly Sonar GPS and it looks nice and is around my price range but I don't know much about fishfinders.
It should be noted that the majority of lakes around my area are 50-150 acres.
I would like to primarily use the unit to help locate my crappie honey hole easier which is in about 10-20 ft. of water. And to catch deep bass.
And the average depth of water I fish is about 10ft.
(the reason I add this is I've heard different fishfinders give different readings depending on depth)
A key feature I would like it to include is a map so I can mark areas I've caught fish.
THANK YOU!!
