I use a Lowrance X-96, and I have no trouble marking the fish (bait and stripers). I also use it to find walleye, and again it marks the fish and bottom well. A couple of weeks ago, I used it near Wolf Creek (on the clay bank up the lake from the mouth of Wolf) and could mark the fish easily in the area. It would show they lying right on the bottom (turned out to be cats). It runs about $200.

Hope this helps.
