I use lowrance fish finders. Many to choose from and they sell ice fishing transducers so you can take it from your boat to ice fishing. Even a ice fishing set up to put it in. Model and size you'll have to figure out yourself depending on boat size etc..

I got a Garmin 93 with side imaging in March. Haven't really played with the side imaging, I've only used it snagging this spring. The down imaging is amazing. I like seeing what kind of fish is under the boat. Got mine at Bass Pro on sale for $599. If I win the lottery I'll get the live scope transducer lol

Back in the day we used amex to find fish.
Hard to get nowadays.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Northof50 asking a question on Tman??? That’s a first lol.

I just bought this one today. Can also use it for ice fishing, but gotta buy the transducer separate first.

I don't require the use of bloop bleep bloop to catch fish. I am from the when real men were men era. Cool to see what you gals use today though. Do you pay someone to bait your hook and take the fish off too?


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Awe, I have upset our little Lady of the North and she is projecting her feelings. Listen, even though you need help finding fish and that technically makes you a girl, well dang, I thought I could spin it so you weren't lame but I can't. I tried..... grin

Did you get your's there Jurassic or @ Pro Am

Don't worry it's not my first posting Grasshopper.
Catch22 we just wait for a south wind and wave our hooks in the air and catch a Minnesota mosquito and use it for bait.

North, I'm sure JP got hers from a link to a cooking show or her husband gave it as a gift. And you devil, stay with the manly Minnesota skeeter for bait and catch fish with grit and without bloop bleep bloop lol. My best to ya!

Shoulda made better choices in life catch. At your age you should be able to afford to do more than polish rust.

Your choice I guess.
