Input on sonar.
I am getting ready to purchase a sonar for my new Ride 115. I am very familiar with 2d sonar. I am looking at one unit in particular and would like to know if anyone has used the Lowrance Elite 4 DSI GPS Chart Plotter. I have read many reviews....some say you can't see fish with it...others say those that can't see fish displayed don't know how to use it. Being a big crappie fisherman it would do me no good to see great detail of a tree or bridge piling and not see if there were fish holding on it. I am very interested in DSI to also help me locate bluegill beds in deeper water. I know I could get the Elite 7 and have both DSI and 2d but as always it is about money. Has anyone actually used the Elite 4 DSI and if so can you readily identify fish? Does anyone have any experience with another unit that is DSI and 2d? My limit is about 400 bucks. It is the last thing to add to my new kayak and am wanting to get it done but am agonizing over the selection of a sonar unit. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
