Wyse Ferry Bridge, in about 150 feet under Lake Murray

I was looking at the Elite 4, but saw the humminbirds were the same price but bigger. Right now I am using a portable fishin buddy. The grey scale doesn't bother me on it, it is just the lack of sonar it has, or the transition to a picture on the screen. So I figure if I could get a larger grey scale model for a cheaper price, that might be the way to go. Thanks for the help.

I fish a lot of ponds and small lakes with the depth range usually topping out at 35ft. I want to get a finder for the bow of my jon boat and have been looking. I have a humminbird 597ci hd di on my center console so I am aware of the capability of that. I was wondering if one of the finders, ie, humminbird 561, 718, or 571, which are grey scale sonars, will show fish decently. I just want it to be able to show fish while I am fishing on the bow, so I can find schools or individuals when I am fishing in about 10-25ft of water. I am open to other brands, I just used the Humminbird for an example. I also cannot exceed $250, which is why I am looking at the midrange grey scale models. Any help is appreciate, thanks.

Hello all, my name is Scott, I am from South Carolina. I have been fishing since I was little, salt, fresh, you name it. Within the last year I have picked back up bass fishing and that is what I do mostly now. Whether it is the large lakes here or little ponds. I am an Army veteran and am in law enforcement now. I enjoy the information from the articles and forums on this site and hope to be able to contribute back.
