I recently bought an Accend 128T from BPS, don't know much about Kayaks, what kind of depth finder do most of you use and how do you mount it?

I have a Lowrance Elite-4 HDI. I don't really use the GPS feature much but thought it would be handy on long river floats. The regular and downscan imaging work nicely, and it's a good size for a kayak. I typically run it in split screen mode, with the two types of sonar side by side.

I bought the YakAttack Ram holder for the unit plus their Ram Pod transducer arm. I found the Ram Pod transducer arm to be a bit bulky and bought the Mad Frog Liberator Micro with a transducer arm. It's sleeker in design and folds up out of the water more easily. I put my battery in a Rubbermaid container with a slit in the top for the wires, that sits up front with my cooler. The whole thing takes a minute to set up or take down.

You will find anything from a $100 unit up to $$$$ on todays Kayaks.
What is your budget, what kind of fishing will you be doing, in what kind of water bodies, how deep
do you want to fish, do you use a particular brand now?

Thanks Guys,
I am new at this, I have never even been in a Kayak till I bought this one about a month ago, I am working in Lake Charles La. Been running baits out and fishing from the beach, but I have found a place to fish fresh water, it is not very deep, but I like to know whats down there. So far I havn't fished out of it at all yet, but I will be very soon

Also run a elite 4hdi. I use the gps chart plotter constantly. I mark a way point whenever I find a good brush pile, ledge, rocks, etc. That way I can find them again easily. Mine is on an Hobie outback, they come setup for the install of the transducer and wiring. Literally only took 10minutes.

Thanks Guys,

What does the elite 4 sell for?

I have an HDS 8 on my boat so I am pretty familiar with lowrance

I believe it runs 300 regular price

Black Friday sales have it at $199 lots of places.

I have a Humminbird 597c on my PA 12.

Thanks for the heads up on this. Academy had this same setup, for same amount a few weeks ago and I really didn't have the money to get it so I've been kicking myself ever since. Even though I pass a Gander's Mt. on my way home, I am really not a fan so I would not have ever seen this ad otherwise. I just ordered one, so I can now stop kicking myself for missing the one at Academy. Thanks again.
