Portable fish finder

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Portable fish finder

Post by Muzz »

Hey all...

I'm looking for suggestions ie: make, model, best place to purchase (LeBarons, CTC??) etc for Portable fish finders. I have one mounted in the boat but want another for Kayak fishing. Looking to spend around $300.

Missed fishing the Madawaska last wk end because my fishing partner (14 yr old son) was sick. Make up for it tomorrow. He has PA day (already??) and I took the day off.

Tks all.

I've been using the Eagle320 portable for two years now but I mounted the sensor permanently on the boat and I use a single 12V batt which fits inside the case....

I have a Humminbird 565 I bought on sale last year. Overorall it's nice, but I have had some problems with it. Not sure if it's the battery or charger or what. I had the charger replaced and bought a new battery also.

I think I would probably look elsewhere, but this is my only experience. If I were to do it over I'd consider getting a Lowrance X96 and setting it up as a portable.
