bigcreekdad Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 What are you folks using? I was up in northern Quebec last week and our guide had a Garmin with great maps, although they were topos only (no depths).
Smokey Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 I use a Garmin 60csx along with the garmin topo maps and they work well for me.
Raf Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 another vote for garmin. mine is an older etrex legend. i load it with topos but it will handle hydro maps too.l
taper Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 I have not bought it yet but I am also heading the Lowrance way.
corvette1 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 i have a lowrance lcx 25c and gold chip love it
TJQ Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 I use a Garmin 60csx along with the garmin topo maps and they work well for me. ditto
bbog Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Another longtime Garmin user. Have all the maps I need but sadly Bluechart data is not available for the lakes I fish.
ccmtcanada Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 I just got the Lowrance H20c with Navionics Gold maps. I love the thing...it's awesome on lakes I'm not familiar with...which right now is pretty much every lake...LOL.
jwl Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 the old fashioned way...just go out there and scout around and fish and see what I come up with and devlope patterns from there, heck I have only had a fish finder/depth finder in any boats my familly has had for the last say7-8 years and still caught lots of fish in lots places before that
Reef Runner Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 I too vote for Garmin. The downside, like Barnie's mentioned, bluecharts don't detail some of the lakes I fish as well. Check with your retailer before purchase and ensure your most visted lakes are on the software package in detail.
