Just was curious if anyone is using an hds for ice fishing and how it works, if u like it, battery life etc. Thinking about rigging up my 8 to take out on the ice. Thanks sam

You will never go back to a flasher! I took my Humminbird 788 off my boat and used it all last winter. My unit is led, so the battery life is long. This style of sonar displays history, you will know if a fish came into the zone if you looked away for a moment. It is a lot easier to tell the mood of a fish and what they do and don't like for action. In time, you can make educated guesses on species and size. The biggest plus is you will have sonar and gps in one unit. My trusty old FL-18 is collecting dust now!

Ya that's more or less what I was after was mY gps and weigh points. Gonna give it a test run tomorrow. Cedar or shields haven't decided yet.
