Another question about Humminbird GPS......
For many years, I never used Fish Finders or GPS to fish for Crappie. I just grabbed some minnows and went fishing. In the late 80's I was introduced to jigs and I only used them to shoot docks at nights. I caught fish both ways. Then "Life" got in the way and I quit fishing for several years. I started back Crappie fishing 2 years ago and was more financially able to get the toys that everyone else was using, but on the "low end" of the scale. This is when I was introduced to Trolling. I bought a couple of Eagle fish finders mainly to know the depth of water I was in. My fishing partner bought a Garmin handheld to mark the channels. Long story short, Eagle did not want to do right on their warranty on a 2 month old unit and i dropped them and went to all Humminbird. I now have a 717 Fish finder, a 383c Combo, and a 755c GPS unit. I have only been on the water once with my 383c and I was only marking a channel with it then. I have not used my 755c yet, it is still in the box. I know these unit are still on the "low end" of the Humminbird scale compared to the 997,787,etc...but with all the talk about Humminbirds "Piss Poor" GPS system, does this also apply to these less expensive units also???...Maybe I should not have been so hasty with Eagle:confused:
