Northwest Fishing Reports

Decided on the Lowrance Elite 5 Chirp with chart plotter/GPS. Thanks to all of you that helped me with this decision. Now time to wait for it to arrive and mount it. Stay tuned!

Alright, I almost pulled the trigger on the Lowrance Elite-5, but I don't think it has speed indicator unless I get the GPS unit. Is this true? I really want/need the speed I'm traveling as it's the big item I currently don't have on my older fish finder. Do I have to get the GPS for the Dragonfly, ...

Thanks, Hewesfisher for all the prices! So as much as I like the looks of the Furano, I think I'll take it off the list.

I just don't see myself utilizing the GPS components since the lakes I fish aren't too big. Plus, I haven't gotten into bass fi...

I'm not in need of GPS either.

Is this the Chirp model? I have been looking at the Lowrance HDS-5, Humminbird 561, Garmin 551. I can't seem to figure out the main pos/neg between models. I don't think I'm going side imaging, though. Just whether down imaging is worthwhile. I'm definitely getting a speed/temp wheel, though. There ...

I have been questioning what new fishing/depth finder to get. I have a 19' Starcraft. I normally fish for trout/Kokanee/sockeye/walleye/perch in Lake Roosevelt, Long Lake, Rock Lake, Brewster, Rufus Woods areas. I don't want to break the bank, but I'm willing to spend up to $500. I've thought about ...
