Anything good about Humminbird 560 or 570?

[Fiishergurl]

Looking to buy a fishfinder to use in Central Florida. There's not much structure and what I want to do is troll and find the crappie and know what depth they are and if possible the water temp at that depth. Would either the Humminbird 560 or 570 be ok for this?

Thanks,
Ginny

I'll never understand why you do random photos?

Humminbird 408430-1 - 385ci di Combo Fishfinder i no that this is not the units that you asked about but i thought that id post you this link on this unit that i just found. i didnt no humminbird had this unit, seems like a good price and it properly not only very reasonably priced but also maybe what your looking for.click this link and read the specs. (just trying to help) good luck

humminbied also offers a non di unit in that model (its cheaper) thought i let you no about the di, if youve read very many of my post you properly no that im not a big fan of di but it does seem to be what most people are wanting these days. in my opinion the only thing thats more useless for crappie fishing than di is that over lay feature that ive seen that another manufacture has.

Hi Ginny,

I've got the cheapo Humminbird PirahnaMax 160 ($129 for the "portable" version that comes with a battery and travel case). It shows crappie schools and individual fish just fine. It's very accurate about the lake depth and fish depth. Shows structure well too, but my lake is only 15 feet deep so that's not much of a challenge for a sonar.

It only shows water temp "at the transducer", i.e. six inches below the water.

I have to think that HB's more expensive units (560 and 570) will do everything the 160 does, and more. One difference is that the 160 has 4 levels of greyscale while the better units have 8 levels. That's just a matter of how things appear on the display which seems like a minor matter to me.
