Has anyone here used the Fishing Buddy clamp-on fish finder? I think
there's 2 or 3 models, and I'm looking for feedback about clarity of the
display in sunlight, ease of use, and the quality of the information that
you get from the display. I have a 12' jon boat and I'm not looking to add
a permanently mounted fish finder but I saw these Fishing Buddy clamp-on
units in the Bass Pro Shop.

Any feedback? Thoughts? Any other ideas for a portable fish finder? I saw
the Smart Cast units (the ones that you toss out like a lure and that you
wear as a watch or on your rod, but I don't think those would work for me.


Yup, went fishing with my bud the other day at the club. This guy is
the real deal, he can put you on the fish, every time, any place. A
few weeks back against his better judgement he bought one of these
units and took it on the lake. He loves it, he has already marked 3
new holes/structures he never knew were there. I have a cheap finder
on my skiff and his display is better. I don't really count on them to
"find" fish, just show me the bottom so I can find em'. Anyway, he got
his at Basspro for about $100, a good spent penny in my opinion.
