I was looking at some fish finders and saw the humminbird fishin buddy. That would be perfect. Has anyone here ever used one?

Humminbird has been around forever. I'm interested in something like that only for depth finding. If u didn't know already they make small batteries that are good for accessories like that for those who are needing something space and weight conscience. Check out academy or bass pro/cabellas. I think they are only 30.00 or 40.00 dollars.

Sorry, I just. Now realized the "fishing buddy" was something for the fishing rod.

Yea, I'm talking about the "Fishin Buddy". It's an all in one portable fish finder.

I don't have one of those but I do have one of the old Hummingbird portable's , a good 20 years old. It is self contained in a small case that I sit on the flood of the boat in front of me. The transducer has a suction cup on it and I stick it right at the water line on the boat as I paddle along.
Never have had much luck locating fish but I sure can tell you how deep the water is. :lol: By the way , not sure about your neck of the woods but down here if you see a bunch of the fish icons lined up nose to tail don't stick your paddle down there to make them scatter.
With that old unit that I have they are not fish but a Gator laying under the boat. It does get the depth correct. :roll:
