Sonar / fish finder recommendations

[go_fish]

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the information. I currently use a Vexilar flasher (that is really meant for ice fishing). I have a Lowrance X-15 paper chart recorder (boy am I dating myself) and still have a bit of graph paper left over. I am going to use the X-15 until I use up all the paper and then get a new sonar unit. Graph paper is expensive and the newer chirp units are probably far superior to the X-15.
