    I find navionics to be much better than lakemaster out in the lake. Not sure about Sandusky bay. Never used hot maps. I would go with Navionics

    Can you elaborate on this and why?

    Lake master is 1ft increments. Can't get much better than that. I don't fish the bay much so I can't attest to the accuracy in there.

    I’ve used both navionics and lake master side by side on the water, and lakemaster just seems off. Navionics is almost always right within 1-2 ft everywhere out in the lake. Far too often lakemaster will be way off on a hump or drop off or something and I’ll check Navionics on my phone and it’s dead on.
