FYI for you Tellico anglers

[Fishorhunt]

Just a heads up for anyone that fishes Tellico lake for Crappie, Walleye, or Perch..... you better catch all that you can now because I have finally saved enough pennies to buy myself a Humminbird 899ci SI side scan depth finder. If my math is correct and baring a natural disaster I will have depleted Tellico lake of those species of fish to population so low that TWRA will have to close all fishing for them within a matter of only a few months.

All the above information is null and void if the warden (my wife) veto's said purchase of course.

899 is a good unit you will be happy with.

I think I would be better served with my money to just hire you and forget the electronics! With any more advantage, you will only be on the lake for 30 minutes before catching a limit!!

[lets go again]

I take you at your word so I went and got another limit this morning....

[Fishorhunt]

LOL lets go again..... I wanted to go bad this morning but had to catch up on some honey do's.

Great unit. I've got to save up.

[driggs]

Oh no. I've heard the transducer's on si units are big. Did you have any trouble installing the unit? Congrats are enjoy it.

[Fishorhunt]

Haven't gotten it yet hopefully it will get here next week.

899 comes with compact ducer it is not too big. If you want 800khz you need the HDSI ducer it is much bigger. Be careful where you mount it not to knock it off while running down the lake or fishing shallow.

This one reads 899ci Hd Si combo side imaging. That gives me the 800 khz.. correct? I've read all that I can find on them but I'm still not sure as to what all this means.
