South Carolina--in the streams and marshes near the ocean.Maybe a
GPS/depth/fishfinder. I would like one that is easy to read--As I get
older my eyesight is no longer as good.....This is my first search for
help----Would love to hear anybody's recommendations. I fish mostly
in shallow waters near OYSTER beds and really need a depth finder for
shallow waters. Please email me at
--------Fred---retired USMC---Thanks for any help.

I got a lot of e-mails, etc----------I am leaning toward the Garmin
240--Is that too much for me??----I am new to this and need help--The
local dealer is no help-----Again thank you for help


I have a Garmin 240 I use in the Colorado River. Mostly under ten feet. It
works great. I don't think it shows underwater trees very well, but it
shows weeds and fish just fine.

Its a nice readable display. I also have a 160 and a 168 GPS sounder. They
are all good products IMHO.
