[black][size 3]I was up early this morning, flipping thru the channels, and came across a 30 minute infomercial for a Hummingbird fish finder.[/size][/black]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]This unit advertised, had all the bells and whistles, the main feature being side imaging. Being new to this feature, I watched with interest, and in my mind, could see what a large advantage it would be on both my boat which has good electronics, but also on my pontoon boats. [/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]Fly fishing from a toon requires a unit that will identify depth, bottom structure, and suspended fish. The little Bottomline fishing buddies that I have do just fine for this purpose.[/size]
[size 3]As I watch the TV, my mind is rapidly going thru all the uses for this little baby. I can use it on my pontoon boat, on my Lund, I can see fish in the area that I am casting to, Hell, this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. The idea hits me, look in the Cabela's catalog for more information and the price. Ah yes, the price.[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]This wonderful little item is priced at $1200.00. My excitement dies, and the image of ownership slides back into a compartment of my day dreams. But for anyone with really deep pockets, this unit is the cats meow.[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]If anyone uses one of these, I would be interested in their assessment of it.[/size]
