| I've been using a Bottomline side scanner for 10+ years and it has really helped me eliminate unproductive waters. If I am not catching AND I'm not marking anything, I move on. This really looks like the ticket for the boulder fields.....

| I like the idea of that unit also, I just don't like the price. What is it at now? Last time I look I think it was $2000 grand or more, is that right? I know Blaine from the "other site" has one and he was posting some screen shots of stuff in the race last year. Aparently there is a memory card that you can link to you computer. Pretty impressive images. Let us know what you decide.
