    Default Best Fishfinder for a kayak?


    Hello all,

    I bought a sit-on-top kayak in February of 2011 and have used it pretty hard fishing so far. I was just curious as to what some fellow yak fisherman would think a good Fishfinder would be to mount onto my yak. I want something relatively cheap, effective, and waterproof.

    I use a hummingbird piranha max 230 on my native ultimate. It's a sit in boat and has high enough sides that the suction cup works fine. For a sit on, would definitely look into a through hull transducer.

    I have an eagle 250 map/gps combo. Cheap and effective, but not too sensitive. It depends on your uses. I upgraded to a Hummer 788. I wanted more sensitivity. But also more money...

    saw a video on utube last night of a guy installing a Low Elite DSI on a ram mount.

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    The best would be determined by your pockets and it's use.I have a humminbird 597ci di and for some it may be over kill then again It waaayyyy better than the eagle cuda I had.All depends on what you want uses you need it for.
