I like seeing the water temperature and knowing the depth without having to stick my pole in the water. LOL, but honestly, most places I fish are less than 8 foot deep, usually 2-6 and a fishfinder don't do much good at those depths. Plus, I ain't smart enough to learn how to read one. I've seen fish on them things and try for a day and a half to catch him, and when I do finally catch a fish, I wonder why the humminbird didn't beep. So I'll take a jig pole over a fish finder anyday.
Come fish Lake Ouachita when the water temps are south of 50 degrees and the fish are holding on structure in 40 feet of water and you would change you mind. I'll have to agree though; when the fish are holding shallow my fish finder doesn't do me a whole lot of good other than knowing the depth and water temp.
