Mayyyyyybe lol, just got it, can't wait to throw it when ice is gone

It is amazing to me how my baits have changed over the years, I used to just buy the baits I thought looked cool instead of baits that produced for me. So here we are now...

Is there any way to see if the reservoirs I fish are on the chip before i buy?

So if you don't have a chip for a lake can you still mark a waypoint for a res with no map and continue to go back to it even after you leave and were to come back the next day?

So really it seems like GPS and structure scan are the two most important things looked at? As mentioned being on smaller water I probably wont need GPS, so my focus should be on the best SI/DI finder out there.

So like a lowrance hds9?

I did a quick search and didn't really see what I was looking for so apologies if this exist. Anyways, I am all in this year, and one thing i would like to incorporate that I really do not have much experience with is a fish finder. Before I would have good success hitting your typical areas and and structure, but i feel like I was missing a lot of opportunities by not knowing if there was hidden structure etc below. So, what kind of finders are you guys running that have boats, what features are a must, and most important which finder is most user friendly, as I will have not a clue how to use one right away. I will be mostly on smaller reservoirs if that matters and price isn't to much of a concern if it has a feature that will truly help.

They actually have ones you can buy, pretty much a net with like a float noodle wrapped around the top edge so it floats behind like a kayak or what not.

Cant wait to throw these bad girls when ice melts, in like 4 months lol

IN, Merry Christmas!

Any one care to comment on them?

This may be a bit off-topic but it goes along with a guided trip. In time I would like to go on a guided trip but often wondered what is a customary "tip" for a guide. You are already paying 3,4,500 for a trip, how much more is expected?
