fish/depth finder

The new Furuno 620 is a great choice. The better the transducer the better the fishfinder.

I think I am going to go with the Furuno 620 with a 600 watt Furuno through hull tilted element that accomodates deadrise angle.

I'm no expert as I have only had my boat 2 years. I have a Garmin Matrix 35. I fish exclusively in Narr. Bay and I can see fish on the fishfinder but have to admit that I have never caught a fish that I have seen on the fishfinder. I use it for depth and water temp. I fish mostly along the shoreline so 8 to 20ft of water. Doesn't seem to help me target anything.

If your friend tunes that set up properly he will be able to watch his pogies go up or down in the water column and will be able to watch tuna/bass/etc rise to get the bait. Tuning MANUALLY instead of on auto is the ticket.
