your gonna love it!
Best advice i can give, and im sure you may already know it, but have the frame of mind of: not looking for fish, but to find places the little buggers like to hide and find what the bait they are chasing...lol. up until last spring, i had an Aqua View underwater camera, i used it up in michigan when i lived up there as well as on Percy Priest and The cumberland River. Unless i saw big clouds of fish suspended, i hardly ever saw fish on the screen, but when i dropped the camera down, boom! more fish than you thought were scraping the bottom, hinding around rocks and logs (which logs and rocks show up clearly on this unit, so you know there are some hungry mouths down there waiting to munch on something that swims a little too close! LOL. I use my depthfinders for water temp, depth, and bottom structure/features and thermocline in the summer. That particular unit only takes a short time to get used to the controls and features then you can fine tune it once you learn what your looking at. Unless the unit should for some reason be damaged when you get it, i think you will be very happy with it especially for the price.
Good luck with it, if i can be of any assistance, just let me know. I personally didnt find the user manual that came with it very helpful. I turned to Youtube for similar models being demonstrated.
