LUCKY Kayak Portable Fish Depth Finder Water Handheld Fish Finder Sonar Castable Kayak Boat Fishfinder Transducer Fishing LCD Display FFC1108

Works as I expected a 40 dollar fish finder would, shows depth and potential "fish"( weeds/debris can and will show up as "fish"). But better than nothing.

I used it today from the bank and still caught fish. For those who do shore fishing this will definitely work. Love this product.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this device to check depth at the stern of my boat when doing a stern-tie. When I first tried it, I got a reading at the stern, but then the device didn't seem to work when I tried it by placing the sensor over the side of the boat. I determined that the sensor has a design flaw: it is affected by the proximity to the sailboat keel.When the sensor is placed in the water from the side of a sailboat such as mine (37' boat) it produces no reading, but it works fine when used away from the keel of such a boat as demonstrated in the video.I am keeping the device as I intend to use the device mainly from the stern of the boat where it is not affected by the keel or from my dinghy.I don't know whether it is the mass or shape of the keel that affects the device, or the fact that the keel is made from steel.

I will be updating my review with a video of my kid opening it as he got it for his bday and then i will show you how it functions so you can see for yourself. Thanfully hes 12 (today) and is very forgiving. However he is a very avid fisherman and noodled his first 44lb catfish last summer. we live on the river so hes constantly fishing so we had high hopes for the qualiy being much better than it unfortuately was.He has always wanted a fish finder, so since he got a kyack for his bday we figured we'd go ahead and get him one. This one had decent reviews so we went with it. Regretfully so.. its okay , but there is defintly room for improvment. When i decide to invest in another one i will post them side by side and you can decide for yourself.It feels cheap and very generic. looks like a cheap toy/glorified depth finder etchba sketch. . I was so disappointed because my son was so excited and the only thing he asked for and it kinda just felt like a dud. we figured it would at least be better than, what feels like a toy with basic fishing popping up on a grey lcd screen with no real indication of direction. The concept is nice but definatly room for improvement.This was the main present my son wanted and his most disappointing one. Hopefully well find another one and put them both side by side so you can see for yourself benifits of different ones to hopefully help others find what works best for their needs.

UPDATE: I did figure out how to change from meters to feet. Its actually covered in the manual, but I missed it the first time. I was then able to get an accurate depth reading from a nearby dock. It was showing fish in the water and there were some small fish (minnows) swimming under the dock so maybe it was showing them.I'll continue to test this product and report back with a stronger review highlighting its strengths and weaknesses.

Haven't used yet, but looks great and came fast.

I live in South Louisiana and fish weekly. Like so many for $45 why not? I've used it many times and am very pleased with this fish finder. For the price point I'm impressed with the quality and super easy to use. I would buy again and recommend to a friend.
