Customer Review: good bang for the buck
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a portable fishfinder, and is good at what it does. I've used the threaded "broom handle" mount for the transducer to actually mount the transducer to the bottom of my kayak; then install/uninstall after each trip, rather than use the "float". It works great, marks groups of fish, the alarm is plainly audible, the depth seems accurate from informal and shallow water observation. The depth finder is actually the most valuable part of the tool, since it is using the depth and a chart where fish holding holes and channels can be discovered. Yes, the next step is to get a "real" fish finder, but for the money, ease of use, and portability...this unit is hard to beat.Customer Review: Not a good Item
Summary: 1 Stars
My kids got this item for their father and it turns on but not much more.
It will show the bottom and fish sometimes and the screen goes blank a lot,
When in the boat it is useless the vibration from the motor or the waves against the boat sets this unit off and shows a full screen of fish. I know the readings to be false because when in four feet of water it reads between 20 and 68 feet of water and a full screen of fish and I can see the bottom and see no fish.
My husband takes this on all fishing trips so my kids won't be upset but he never looks at the screen unless the kids are around.
Conclusion: A waste of money.
Customer Review: This is an awsome sonar
Summary: 4 Stars
I have only had the oppertunity to test this item for ice fishing, but from what i have seen its awsome.The see thru ICE option is incredible and very impressive.A little bit of water on the ice from a cup or bottle and your looking straight thru 3 feet of ice at the fish.Very nice size,portable.The sonar cable plugs in to the unit extremely hard so once its plugged in leave it there.Only complaint is that any large object on the bottom shows up as 3 diff sixe rocks,small/medium/Large,even if its a junked car,lol,shows as a Rock,or a tree trunk snag shows as a rock.Other then that i give it a 5 but for crappy bottom imagery i give it 4 out of 5Customer Review: Norcross Hawkeye F33P Fish Finder

i purchased this fish finder for use on shore and i would not recommend it to any one for this reason absolutely horrible. the sensor that you throw out goes 35ft and the line sinks so they tell you on the package to purchase seperate float attachment. side scanning is ok but then you dont know if the fish are high or low in the water. However from my boat it works great it can shoot the the hull on some boats and ice when ice fishing which is a very good feature. so if your looking for a fish finder for ice or your boat then maybe consider this one but from the shore dont waste your money cause mine stay in my cabinet not my tackle boxCustomer Review: Cool toy!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is great if you aren't moving too fast on the water. It tends to point slightly behind you. I wish it showed individual fish, but only shows schools of fish with one indicator. All things being equal, this unit is fun and informative for the money.
One other note: If the bottom is covered with lots of plantlife, it has difficulty determining the actual depth.
My recommendation? If you are looking for a 'gadget' to help you see what's down there and don't have a lot of money, buy it. It is fun while on a pontoon, dock, or float tube.
