fish finder suggestions? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

While you'll most likely only need a maximum of 300' saltwater depth for 99% of everything you fish for, you WILL need a FF capable of 600'. Why?

Because all specs are based upon Freshwater. So, with a 300' max depth FF, you'll be lucky if you are getting bottom readings at half that depth. Now, I will agree with Drake, you will for the most part hardly ever be fishing in that kinda depth.

Look, just save up your $$$ and get the $300 Elite 4. Problem solved. FF, GPS, deep enough, reliable, and cheap for what you get.
