Fish Finder- NEED HELP

Hey Guys,

Happy day before the opener!

This post is a little different from Haywoods post yesterday. I read through that and others but I need to get a little more specific and I’m looking for advice.

Main ingredients that I need with a locater is this:

1.When it shows a fish I NEED to know that it’s actually a fish! (I could be in a pool with the one I have now and it lights up like there are hundreds down there)

2.Need GPS with lake chip capability.

3. Water temp, speed,,etc. basics

4. Somewhere around $500 – $600 bucks.

I’ve done some research but I’m looking for some user opinions out here and why you like what you have. ANY HELP IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!

ps. I only go after Walleyes. Nothing else.

1.) Don’t use the fish ID
2.) HB
3.) HB
4.) HB
5.)Jolly Ann Marine
