Questions regarding Fish Finder - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I went very basic too with the Garmin Echo 150 $99 from West Marine - mounted the transducer in the scupper. Seems that I am FF challenged as I don't catch as much (or any) fish when I'm using it. But it is cool to see the changes in depth.

I would start basic as most of us did, but having GPS with the FF is highly recommended. That being said, I would recommend starting off with either of these systems.
Lowrance:

Humminbird:

I have had both of the units and they are very nice. I currently have the step up from the 386 and love it. I personally like Humminbird but there are some features that I liked that Lowrance had as well. Start small and work your way up.
