Portable Fish Finder, Handheld Fish Depth Finder Contour Readout Fishfinder Ice Kayak Shore Boat Fishing Fish Detector Device with Sonar Sensor Transducer and LCD Display Gear Fish Depth Finder

Update 5/30/23: I went out yesterday for some fishing and grabbed the finder to take with me, this time in my jon boat (no water dripping from paddles, like with the kayak); I got out on the water and it wouldn't power on. I pulled the battery cover of and the batteries and contacts were covered in fresh rust... I guess the unit was holding moisture from previous outings. So, lesson learned: avoid cheap fish finders.I gave it a star because it seems to be accurate enough when compared along side a friend's Garmin, but unless you use this for bank-fishing or a large boat where it can be kept away from water (!?), I would avoid it. The couple of times that I've taken it out in my Kayak, it got wet just from water dripping on it from the paddle (I kept it between my legs where I could watch it as I paddled), which somehow made its way into the unit and into the screen, maybe through the buttons, or the edges of the screen glass/plastic. It still seems to work, but the sun will cause it to fog, making it difficult to read. After using I have to remove the batteries and the screws that hold it together to allow it to dry... not ideal to say the least.

For what this cost...everyone that fishes should have 1.

I'm writing this on my boat and actually catching fish as I type the review. This is seriously so much fun! This thing works like a lucky cricket! I've been out here fishing for months and I caught more today than all year. It works great for bait fish (shows small fish) and then medium sized indicator represents medium sized cats, large sand bass, large crappie. Big fish indicator is like 15lbs+. Don't use it in a pool to test it. TBH That's dumb. It's basically a clicker that measures time. Not distance or fish. Air bubbles screw with it so you have to be drift trolling or trolling real slow with an electric motor. Soon as I crank the motor up she gives false readings. That's because the air bubbles send a ping and the device measures the time incorrectly. If it's not working, I suggest playing with your sensitivity indicator. Something tells me this switches the frequency (like sound pitch of the internal clicker) the lower the sensitivity, the wider the angle (more area covered) the higher the sensitivity the greater accuracy, but less area covered. I'm on setting 4 of 5 in 14ft muddy water. And I'm lighting these fish up. Came super fast, and had a nice return date of 90 days, but honestly I'm never going back out without one.

I would not trust this for marking fish but it’s depth radar is very accurate. I was in my kayak in the Puget sound. Paddles up to a nice boat and asked their depth and it was right on track with what this radar read at about 80ft deep. Obviously will not be as good as a legit more expensive model but when compared to the cost of most fishing gear, this is solid value and definitely worth adding to a fisherman’s collection in my opinion.

I really like this fishfinder I gave it to my son asked Jess and I love you gift he’s always out in his kayak fishing and let him know where the fish are or how far away they are he’s really enjoyed using it it’s a great product at a great price thank you. Mrs. Thomas

I like everything about it

This finder does work. I used it in 12-15 ft of water and when it beeped, I was able to look through my ice fishing hole and see fish. It consistently alerted me to when fish were near. Battery life is not bad. I have used it for two long days and it appears to have drained a little over half my batteries. I do wish it came with a charger pack installed so you didn't have to put in new batteries each time.

Put batteries in it the first day I got it and it said they were dead bad machine

Malgré qui a durer juste une journée et a fini au fond d'un lac au camping par un gars en bateau il marchais super bien j'ai du en commander un autre a cause de ça malheureusement mais il je suis très satisfait de la marchandise
