I would use one of the "cheap" fishing buddy series. I personally use an old humming bird 1200. The equivalent is the 120 fishing buddy. I have used it side by side next to some other, much pricier units. As a control measure we used a under water camera. The fishing buddy marked every fish the same as a Lowrance elite series finder. The exception being Perch in the 100 to 120 foot range. My fishing buddy could not get fish in the "dink" range. It did not have any other problems.
Spend the money any way you want, but the more spendy units cannot tell you any more then the fishing buddies can. And you can buy 4 fishing buddies for the same price as an "elite". I think the money is better spent on gas to go fishing more often, then on a unit more then $150 bucks....
