Inshore sounder

[ben kent]

I'm going to upgrade my sounder I only fish estuarys and a little bit around Redcliffe so only shallow water, I'm just wondering if it's worth going to a sounder with the down scan or side scan for this type of fishing? I do have a budget of about $700 but that can stretch a bit. What sounder would be a good fit?

Mate I have a lowrance elite5 DSI and reckon its the ducks nuts for inshore work.
I would consider two on the market in that bracket.
Lowrance Elite5 DSI
Raymarine Dragonfly 5"
Should be able to find both are in your budget.
