After a depth Guage

[ollyit]

want to spend around £100 preferably less, or do I just buy a fishfinder instead? thanks

Fish finder as you will have so much more information on what is under you, is it getting deeper, is it rocky etc!
You can also see the fish which my kids love!

One of the boat mags is looking at 4 fish finders this month around the price you want full review. If you cant find it give me a PM and i will try and get you a copy.

Ollyit,

I've been through the same thought process myself and eventually bought a fish finder last week at the SBS. For me the decision was easy.

Depth finder - shows depth
Fish finder - shows depth, shows fish, gives me speed and water temperature

As I plan to do some fishing from my RIB, the fish finder won.
I bought a Raymarine DS400

Olly, buy a Navman fishfinder with the speed transducer like I have. Should be able to get a good deal on an older model, mabe £110 or so. I'll have a look when I get home tonight.

Navman Fishfinder 4150 with T/M Transducer inc Speed & Temp

£126.00

But worth the extra money for the speed sensor I think

I use a lowrance M52S/GPS fish finder and gps plotter...

ItS a pretty compact unit and seems to work really well....

I think I paid about £160.00

Not only will it do everything you need you also have a GPS system as well....

fOR THE EXTRA £50.00 ITS WELL WORTH IT.

Cheers Andy, ill probably go with that - I cant really stretch to the GPS tho - thanks tho gazza
