Since you do your fishing from a wheelchair, I know that the little Humminbird will do wonders for you. Whoever came up with this novel idea deserves a medal, for it opens new doors for folks who can't go and "hunt" the fish like I do. BTW, I have three depth finders on my big bass boat. They're a big help in locating underwater structure and fish.
Cheers,

Take a look at the Hummingbird: a transponder that is tied to a fishing line and cast to the spot you want to check, and the screen is on a watch band. I've seen it at work in the field, and it works. $89.00 in this configuration; with a 4x6 screen, about $120.00. The little transmitter is $20.00 if you toss it into a tree.
I watched a guy on a local lake going around the lake tossing in the transponder, and noting the depths of the water on a map. Suddenly he spotted a fish, cast to it, and after a big fight, which took him up to the chest into the lilly pads, he pulled out a 6 lb bass.
The hummingbird is a cool toy, and the first of these things I've really wanted. Ah, well, Christmas is coming.
