Spring has Arrived in South Dakota

Spring has arrived and the grass is getting greener. The time has come to pull out the boat. Get the tools out. Clean it up. What am i going to upgrade, trolling motor. No. The depth finder. Yes. I am still using a 1993 super sale special. Now what brand do i get. Hummingbird makes a good product. But the pros that I know use Lowrance. Both brands have the newer models loaded with a chart plotter, and sonar system. I wish i could afford the big touch screen version. But, the wife has a limit. There are many reasons why i am going to upgrade my depth finder this year. The most important being the chart plotter. Being able to it a button and save the locations is awesome. Too many times I have had luck or marked fish, then the wind pushed me. I know that the structure on the bottom can very even a few feet away. Snorkeling is a great way to understand bottom structure. Additionally new depths finders can be added on to. Down the road i can add a structure scan to the Lowrance. Or satellite weather and radio. It all comes down to priorities. Now that it is settled, I hope you all have a great spring. Get some upgrades, and kill it on the lake. Good luck fishing and please share your reports.
