Just wondering if anyone has purchases one of those side imaging locators? either the 5" or the 8" screens....
THey are pretty spendy and was just wondering if they are worth the money and if you can actually see fish on the image? You get the locator and the GPS for the price of a comparable Lowrance (which is my main locator now) then that would put the price of the imaging at around $400 extra.
The retail is $999 i believe.
any insight by anyone that used them or has one please let me know your thoughts.
I think that if you can mark fish on there visually then it would be the cats meow, but if you have to decifer images and decide if it is a fish or a log, then it wouldn't be worth it.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
