A couple of days ago I posted the following message:I have the
old--blue--13.5 Whaler with a new 40Hp Yamaha. Use it on the coast in
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.

I've got the 240 and it shows everything I want it too, maybe you've got a
setting wrong Bob.

Are there underwater trees in 10' of water?

You also mentioneed before that you thought you transducer wasn't mounted
right. Did you ever get that fixed? My 160 is awesome compared to anything
else I've had. Gonna get a 240 and mount the 160 on the front of the boat.

My 240 is tied into the transducer on my trolling motor. And yes there are
underwater trees in ten feet of water. Not huge. The biggest may have
trunks about 10" in dia, but they can be very productive fishing some times
of year.

Its the trasnducer for my 168 GPS/sounder that I think may be mounted a
little off.

Guys, let me introduce Roy, he's one of my fishing partners, and he's the
one that's taught me more about bass fishing than anything I could have ever
learned by reading. He's also the one that set my 240 for me.

Welcome to the club Roy! Don't let the winter time rants run you off... it
gets much better in the spring.
