After 6 months of kayak fishing, I think it's time to invest in a fish finder. So which one should it be? After much research, I decided to get the Humminbird DSI 798c. It has side imaging and color. Price was quite steep but I guess it'll be a good investment.
Picked it up online and now I have to hook it up with the battery and figure out how best to put it on the kayak.
Went to buy a 12V 7Ah battery and placed it in a waterproof seal bag. Connected it with the fish finder and then placed at the front of my kayak. As the transducer came with a mount, there was no way for me to mount on an inflatable. So I did the next best thing, I rigged up a bungee cord and tied it around the front of the kayak. Although that introduced some drag to the hull of the kayak, I think it will be a worthwhile trade-off. I can always unhook the bungee cord with the transducer if I want to move faster.
Can't wait to see if this device would increase my fish-catching numbers!
