Inkdabber, you are obviously spending too much time golfing and not enough time fishing otherwise you would have more 3 lb crappie to your credit. :Rofl

A number of manufacturers make recreational kayaks in the 10 ft plus or minus range that might be suitable. I wouldn't consider them truly suitable for any semi-serious whitewater but more so than...

Just curious as to what you mean by "also do a little whitewater"? Most of what I am seeing recommended to set up for fishing I would not consider for whitewater use. Of course I guess that may...

I like to believe that the folks responsible for setting limits and seasons (if there are any closed seasons anywhere) are doing their homework and are more qualified than me to make those decisions....

Make mine a sage green. Tan as second choice.

Greg, thanks for the response. I understand everything you are saying about the electronics aspects of this. I too would have been inclined more towards a 4S battery pack. But even the 3S might...

Yeah, I have seen them as high as 6 amp hours or more but that is when they get really expensive. But something around 3300 mah or 3.3 amp hours can be had for about $40-$45. I was wondering if...

Has anyone ever tried using a lipo battery to power a fish finder? Since the voltage requirements on the unit I am getting are 10-17 volts then either a 3S or 4S lipo battery pack should satisfy the...

Meaning no disrespect to all the experienced crappie fisherman here but I don't understand the issues with line twist. If a quality line is wound on a respectable reel correctly line twist should...

OK. That somewhat explains it although my understanding of the electronics behind it is minimal.

Thanks for the insights. There seems to be some differences from manufacturer to manufacturer as far as the relationship between frequency and beam width. Different manufacturers seem to produce...

PM sent.

Which Humminbird do you have? The 153? That one has a wider cone than the 175.

I have seen some of the ways people have mounted their units on kayaks and canoes. I have a lot of surplus PVC...

The more I dig into these depth finders the more confused I get trying to understand the whys and wherefores of their design specs. It seems that the frequency is somehow related to the the cone...

Let me try one more time to bring this to the top. It seems that maybe no one on here has any use for the lower end depth finders. I've tried searching but so far it seems that what few questions...

I was hoping that was the case but did not know for sure. So which of these budget minded finders do people think does the best job? In particular which is the most reliable?

I'm looking to acquire a fish finder but I need to adhere to a pretty tight budget so it seems my choices are limited. Here is what I am looking for in a fish finder and I'd like to hear what people...

I believe that is key to arousing their interest. Put them on fish in nice conditions to start them out. They get hooked a lot quicker if they start catching early. There is time enough for them to...

As a certifiable "old geezer" (I carry a card that says so) who's been fishing awhile I'm not really bothered by technical. I can filter through the information here and find what is useful to me. ...

I was wondering what the best way to save money on a fish finder for my kayak would be. Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I was looking for a portable solution that I could use on both my kayak...

cp, I appreciate the reply but I think you misunderstood. I am familiar with most of the standard internet and texting acronyms such as those you posted. I am more interested in the crappie...

I'm new to the forum, somewhat new to crappie fishing. I've searched for any kind of glossary on this web site and haven't been able to find one. Having retired from a profession that is chock full...

Thanks folks. I expect to learn a lot here.
