I have had a GarminMAP76Csx gps for about four months now and it is just great. I got it on a BIG sale at PCNation for about $240.00. It comes with all you need to fish with. Even the map is all you really need to spot your fishing stuff. I went ahead and ordered the topo maps from mapsource so I could use it for hunting.

It's waterproof and it even floats. They average about $400.00 + but you can find it MUCH cheaper. With a hand-held, you can take all your secret waypoints WITH you when you're fishing from another boat.

Finally, it is very user-friendly. I don't think a fisherman can buy a better unit.

My brother has an Etrex and I have transferred all my waypoints to him and his will do the trick, as well. It's just smaller and b/w but just as good of a brush pile finder (about a hundred bucks at Wal-Mart. So there you go.

This gps stuff will open up a whole new realm for your fishin' I gar-ron-tee.
