I bought a Marcum 5.6 showdown this year. I was using a very inexpensive Hummingbird fish finder last year and I really can't believe the difference. I f there is a fish by your bait you know it with the Marcum, where I think the Hummingbird picked up a lot of interference that couldn't be tuned out. Marcum also offers a Showdown fish troller that is around $200, more of a entry level model that will do almost as much as the one I bought. But that being said, a used fish finder can be made portable and at the very least should tell you the water depth and the depth of some of the fish that are suspended, but may not show you the depth of your bait.
