I am writing this as a man that loves fishing that is also on a budget. The summer weather is upon us and the bite has become a bit more challenging. I have a few leads on new bodies of water but the bite is slow, if you do get bit though…hang on tight! Im looking into dosh finding options and I font have a lit of money nor do I have a BIG boat for lots of gear. Im in a Lifetine Tamarak 100 kayak. The question here is: Can the Garmin Striker CV be fine tuned enough to locate a Thermocline?
I need to upgrade the fishfinders on my boat. I have been looking at the lowrance hds gen 2 touch and the humminbird helix g2n. I am willing to spend around $1600. Has anyone had any experiances with either the humminbird helix g2n or the hds gen 2? What one should I buy? Are there any different fishfinders you recommend? Thanks.
Looking at the 5" versions for both. They are both new on the market and the Lowrance website has the price listed as $450. Is this the price without maps? I'm asking because the Lowrance has sidescan and a touchscreen, yet the Garmin is $500. $50 more for no touchscreen or sidescan? I'm aware the Garmin has great maps but is that worth no sidescan? Which do you guys think is better? Trying not to spend more than $500.
Hello there,
I'm new to these forums and a relative beginner fisher and was looking into getting a decent fish finder, but am so overwhelmed by my options!
I'm managed to narrow down my options to the Lowrance Elite 4x HDI with Downscan or the Garmin 501c .
Any input into which would be best would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
