Fish for walleye and pike in Central AB as well as Lakers up north. Thanks for any thoughts on this.

I had a LX7 for years also going after Lakers . I have never used a live scope yet . Maybe one day . I gather they have a wider foot print so you can see more fish on the bottom . .
I had an old $150. sonar years ago off my boat that i used for ice fishing and that had a 100 yard foot print in 80 ft of water . The guys I were fishing with did not believe me un till I got them to set up 50 yards away . I would shout out if their hooks were going down or up . Then they believed me . When it broke i got the lx7 and I am lucky to get a 10 yard foot print in 80 ft of water I could not even see my dead stick hook just out side my tent .Lol
Not sure way Marcum LX7 could not have a better foot print on the sonar setting, and be able to use it outside in the sunlight .
I never did like like the flasher mode .
