Love It!!!, I fly fish a lot of lakes and use this on my 9' Bucks Bags pontoon boat. I attribute a full 50% of my fishing success to this fish finder. I rely on the depth finder feature more than anything else.....all the rest are just bonuses. Feeding trout like shallow water (where their food sources are located). I have noticed that it will give false fish readings when I enter shallow water less than 10' or so, as it will pick up every weed growing off the bottom. I know I'm too shallow when it suddenly beeps continuously and displays a constant parade of fish! The side finder feature, with it's 60' range, has saved the day on a few occasions by letting me know whether the fish are shallower or deeper that day. It's a great indicator of fish activity, too. When the fish are very active and moving aggressively, the side finder shows it, as it becomes very active. I can actually see their distance as they move to/from the boat, as the display distance rapidly changes. On slow fish activity days, the side finder is mostly inactive and silent. With good alkaline batteries, I can get 35-40 hours of operating time and only have to change the batteries every 10th trip or so. To be fair, when I'm anchored and into fish, I shut it off. My only issue with this finder, and the other portables I've owned over the years, is the thin wires on the battery pack and the connections. In my experience, they are the first things to fail! One must use extreme care in changing batteries, and be careful not to put too much pressure on these wires, or bend them in any way.
Excellent Fishfinder, My hubby loves this fishfinder. No drilling holes in his boat. He had much success finding fish. I don't know any of the technical lingo that fishermen use, but I do know that he had a great time with this gadget on his last fishing trip. I can recommend this product to the ladies to make their men happy.
Terrific performer, I purchased a 110, actually from Gander Mountain with gift cards. Skeptical like everyone else, as to how well this system would perform.
What arrived was a quality built, adaptable Depth/Fish finder that is friendly on batteries, very configurable. We use on a smaller aluminum boat and I've been able to see the large screen read out easily, even when there is too much sun or not enough light.
Amazingly it echoes fish well, and has performed beyond our expectations each day of fishing.
Fish Finder, (What's this?) The product came in the amount of time suggested and was packed well, we returned the item because it was lacking one thing that we wanted and will reorder the product that fits our needs.
Humminbird: X-Ray for water., (What's this?) I used this on a lake I've been fishing all my life. People have told me the old creek bed snakes down thru the lake. Humminbird let me immediately find the creek bed and see the fish lurking down there. Good stuff.
Fish Finder, (What's this?) So I have to say I was quite to skeptic when I purchased this fish finder. To my credentials I was a saltwater fishing captain and an Electromechanical Engineer. from my experience on the water and of electronics the least amount of power you need to read the the bottom at 100 feet clearly is 250 to 350 watts rms. We typically use 500 to 1000 watt machines that work off high voltage alternators.
With that said, this little fish finder works on AA batteries, batteries mind you.. and we used it for about six eight hour trips on our lake to read Lake Trout 100 feet down. The batteries are still good.. crazy right and I can't believe the transducer actually was able to read anything, but it did, reliably and clear.
I have to say my 14 year old son loves this thing, I'm sold too. Money well spent. It helped us catch fish and I would definitely recommend it to you or anyone else.
Really good buddy to have when fishing, (What's this?) I would like to say that this product is really great. I received this as a birthday gift. For all those who are checking out this review know that this product is good for identifying where fish are. If you can catch that's left up to you and your fisherman skills;). Best of luck with all future purchases and remember to take a kid fishing this year.
Sincerely,
S.C.
great product, (What's this?) This finder is perfect for my pontoon boat and gives me the portability I need to make set and take down easy.
sonar fish finder, (What's this?) Broke my old fish finder so thought I would try out the newer model from Humminbird. Unit works as advertised and is lighter weight than the older model. Gave it 3 stars because the fish alarm only works for the bottom sonar, not the side sonar. The older unit's fish alarm worked for both sonar fields. Not having the alarm for the side sonar is inconvenient since you have to constantly keep an eye on the unit in order to see if any fish are to your side. If the company can provide a quick fix for this for everyone who bought one of these, I would give it 5 stars. Electronically, this can't be too hard to remedy.
