P.S. I am trying to rebuild a workable bass boat with my brother. I did price fish locators a while back. Lowrance has a decent one (Eagle 4x) that is only $120. I am sure there are several others near that price point that have many more features compared to the ones I started out using 50 years ago!
Do you only fish your watershed lake, or do you sometimes fish the bigger reservoirs around the state? If the latter, maybe put up a thread for fish locator recommendations? I would also enjoy that thread to see what our experts on the forum use for their own ponds and for fishing public waters!
