Hey all! First time poster, member of the Facebook group.
I run a NuCanone Frontier 12 with a Motorguide Xi3 on the front, basically a big, wide, kayak, and I'm looking to up my fish finding game this year. I am not ready to take the leap into livescope, maybe if I get a family boat one day, but at the moment I'm solo! I fish Carlyle, Rend, and several other smaller lakes in Southern Illinois and am looking to be able to scan for structure for crappie all year long. So I am thinking side scan is the way to go for me, I can troll slowly around areas looking for deep structure or checking laydowns, or structure I know is there.
Right now my thought is running the Lowrance Hook Reveal 7 with the TripleShot. The price seem rights and the screen size seems pretty good for my size boat.
My question for you all is, is this finder worth the investment?
Is there something better in the same price point I am missing?
Do you have great mounting solutions, even DIY solutions? I'm not scared to get my hands dirty.
