  1. Hello all, new to the board. Been reading through the post during my free time to pick up some tips. I must say, this board is awesome....the amounts of info shared here is amazing.

    My fishing buddy and I just started to put together a boat for downrigging. Money is real tight so starting small. We only got a small boat, a 16ft....we know we got to watch the weather and be smart about things in such a small boat.

    Got a kicker motor, downriggers, rigger and dipsy rods, now looking into getting a fishfinder/GPS. What sort of things should I be looking for in a fishfinder? How much power do I need to be able to see the cannon balls and mark baitfish and salmon? Our budget is about $600. Looking through the catalogs, the Hummingbird 597 and Lowrance Elite5 seem to be in the price range. Are these units good enough? Thanks
