DEPTH FINDER HELP! - GOOSEASSASSIN - 05-22-2013
K gentleman i need some pro advice[
]. I will be purchasing a fish finder for my mighty 12ft alum. boat. I know i dont want aything fancy and within the price range of 100-150 something portable maybe I live in Heyburn so i prob. have to travel to TF just wondering where to go and maybe what to look for and dont think this requires PM's. Thanks Fellas[signature]

Humminbird makes some within the range you are looking for. Check their website for the different models. I believe the pirhanamax model will fit your bill.

Don't forget to take a look also at Cabelas. I ordered my BottomLine finder and it was on sale. Got for $89 bucks and for my little boat, (I also have a 12 footer) it has everything you need. A lot of times they have really nice finders on sale this time of the year.

Depends on what you want to do with it. I own 3 different hummingbirds and they all have different jobs. Hope you can check them put tomorrow.

Are you going to have a battery to run it? If not I would recommend a Hummingbird Fishing Buddy. It runs off AA batteries and is very portable and handy. If you want an inexpensive 12v unit I've actually got one just sitting in my garage that I'd be willing to sell you for a good price.

One of my most productive lures for wallies is the CD5 jointed Rapala shad rap in the perch pattern. Also the firetiger and I caught my best walleye (8.5lbs.) on a yellow perch shadrap
