You almost have to have one for crappie. They like brush and such under the water most of the year and they are the best way to find them.

I use mine on every fishing trip. Until last winter I've never owned one3 and never thought I was missing one either. I crappie fish at night. I user mine for not only spotting fish when I can find 'em, but for looking for bait fish as well as looking for drops such as channels or ledges to set up on. Besides, it's like having another toy to play with!:D
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
As soon as my motor fires up, the graph comes on and stays on unless i'm in really shallow water. If fishing is slow, then I'll look for new spots. Check out areas I have never had the chance to explore. Always turn every trip into a learning expierience. The graph makes this easy to do. CF

I have seen the benifit of having two. One with the transducer on the front and the other on the rear. I have had brush piles suprise me when scouting new waters. If I had one on the front, I could react with my markers in a better fashion. I think it would benefit when trying to keep the boat directly over a submurged brush pile.

Went to a fairly new lake last summer and forgot the fishfinder. We were lost and didn't catch a dang thing. It's like crappie nibbles, we never leave home without it.
I have a jig with a face like this!:eek:
I't is a tool a fisherman cant live with out if you want to be successful and catch fish from a boat in open water.
