Thread: Got a new toy

I was able to pickup a 798si for $650 on a Friday sale. Now I need some training LOL!! I have seen you guys tlak about these units previous so does anyone have any pointers. I am putting it on my boat this week so I can use it at the bash. Should I download the updates first or what?? Any help would be appreciated.

Mike

I got it at Gander Mtn in Tennessee.

Sounds like a heck of a good deal.

Were you actually at the store in TN or online?

I was looking for one too but the $1k price tags of those things keeps me away.

hey mike would like to check out your new unit on the N/W river. i know the river contours pretty well. would really like to check it out..tite lines JIM.B you going to the bash if so will see ya there

Now you have done it. You are going to need a hard hat cause you are going to run ashore staring at that screen! lol It is a never ending learning curve. It is so cool to see the bottom and just how it is. I spent hours just looking at stuff. I know where a sink is on the bottom and a boat.

get a bigger one

jim b,
I would be happy to go with you on the NW and scout around. I fish there quite a bit. I am always looking for someone to fish with. Shoot me a PM when you want to go.

ekim22 it was at the store at an end of season sale.

dang I remember at the boathouse one the coosa river in bama pops would take his coffee mug and drop it down till he couldn;t see it and mark the string it was on... and say we fishing this deep today...bout 6" to a foot shallower always worked during the spawn ......
