Fish Finder Opinions

God
I am in the market for a good fishfinder.

I would like a color unit but I no likey the prices of new color units. I had a Koden CVS 102 on my old GW and really liked it. I could tell what kind of fish we were going to catch before dropping down the bait.

I doubt I will ever find myself in water much deeper that 40 fathoms.

What are your thoughts on how many watts, single or dual frequency, what frequency, etc.......

Raymarine or Furuno

If you're serious about fishing, get a fish finder that does more than bottom reading and give you false readouts. I'm in the process of installing my brand new Furuno 620, I must admit, It took me awhile to bite the bullet, but I'm glad I did it.

Before installing the X-ducer I tested my F-finder in my 40 gl portable live well, I have about two dozen of extra large and medium shiners plus a large yellow perch (I kept the perch for this purpose and already released it back)

Here's a shot at the bait, you can clearly see the perch ( red) vs the bait:

Another shot with bait only, the darker colors are the extra large baits:

I can't wait to go out and try this bad girl :)
 
Now that is pretty cool stuff.

I am well acquainted with the need to have a good fishfinder. I used to tell people what they were going to catch before they dropped the bait with my old CVS 102.
