Hi all, I have been cruising your forum for the last week or so and See that you all hold a lot of knowledge.

I have a dilemma on my hands regarding upgrading my current console fishfinder (eagle 320 mono).

I am on the fence between a Lowrance 522c which is on sale at a major outdoor retailer for 500.00 or the Hummingbird 788ci. for about 600 to my door.

The bird has better resolution and seems to be the better unit overall and I thought I would ask for opinions here before I pull the string on a large purchase for my wallet.


I live in Colorado but still chase the warm water fish like crappie and bass as well as walleye so structure fishing is still pretty key for me. I typically fish in waters less than 80 feet and more often than not 1-12 feet.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions.
