I would agree that you definitely need a color sonar with gps capabilities to be consistently successful striper fishing. I have used just about all machines that you can imagine fishing with other people and in my opinion the lowrance cannot be beat. I currently run the lcx 112 and like it but it did take a little getting used to after running the lcx 110 for a couple of years. While this is the top of the line lowrance graph you could get the same results with a model like the lcx 27 which has been renamed this year but is the smaller color system. I have several friends that run that graph and love it! I would also recommend getting a 200kz skimmer transducer for the best performance out of your unit. The color lowrance after time will enable you to be able to distinguish between white, spotted and striped bass fairly easily by the color of the center of the arch on the graph better known as the swim blatter of the fish and the way in which the arcs are arranged on the graph. White bass will stack up with sharp vertical arches almost looking like christmas trees while spots will look very similar to stripers except the arches will appear to be thin pencil lines with very little color in the middle. With any graph it is going to take time to learn your system but with this kind of fishing it is highly important to know what you are looking at down there so you don't waste a bunch of time wondering why the "images" on your graph are not biting!
