[black][size 3]Hey Joni,[/size][/black]

[size 3]Are you sure that you want the transducer pointing toward your feet if you are going backwards?[/size]

[size 3]I really don't know that it make any difference.[/size]

[size 3]I did see something interesting the other day on the Internet. On the West Marine site, I noticed a sonar with a 45 degree cone. I don't know if there are many other units out there with optional cone sizes, but it really appealed to me. We fish in such shallow water much of the time, that we don't see much of the bottom. [/size]

[size 3]For the most part, the only thing that a sonar provides is depth readings. We look down, and cast where we can't see. [/size]

[size 3]There are some good technical improvements coming up. Side Imaging is the latest. I mentioned this on another thread, and according to those that have seen it, are really impressed. They want 1200 bones for them now, but the price will go down, and the technology will improve.[/size]
