Another question about fish finders

[MRJ]

Wow, there is a lot of good information being discussed here. I also am looking at a new fish finder for my boat and the things being brought up will make me take another look at the technical end. As I mentioned in a previous posting, I am looking at the Humminbird Matrix 37 among others. This unit has 2-45 degree 455kHz beams that gives you a 90 degree view down to 160'. You can also use it in another mode that gives you two beams. A 20 degree beam at 200kHz and a 60 degree at 83 kHz, the latter is good down to 1,200'. You can also use all three configurations and do a split screen showing side-to-side and directly below. Where it is GPS ready, that feature will help in finding your way back to hundreds of "honey holes". I am still not sure what to do since a lot of people have had problems with Humminbird. I think I have narrowed to down to the Matrix 37, a Bottom Line and a Garmin. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Better hurry, soft water is on it's way. [:/][:|][][cool]
