Portable Fishfinder Recommendations?

[Stephen Kormilo]

I am planning on buying a fish finder in the near future. I would
like a small, portable, unit since I usually do some fishing on canoe
trips that involve portages.

Units that appear to be suitable:

Hummingbird Piranha series
Hummingbird Smartcast RF30 (Wrist Unit) or Mobile Station
Hawkeye/Norcross FF3300PX
Eagle FishEasy 2
Eagle Cuda 128
Garmin 80
Garmin 120
Others?

Anyone have any recommendations or warnings on any of these fish
finders, or others?

TIA

How about a bottom line Fishing buddy? They start at about $100 for the
base model and they are probably one of the easiest to move from one thing
to another.

Thanks for the info. & the link. I haven't seen these in any of the
stores I've looked. Have you used one of these?

Fishing buddy 1200. about 160 bucks, good for ice fising, canoing, float
tubing, and has a sweet side finder option. I swear by it.

No, I modified a Fish Eagle Pro that was designed for portability to a mount
like that and it worked very well out of my canoe and other boats.

A couple guys who frequent news:rec.outdoors.fishing.bass have commented on
these. I might also suggest you ask on the BassPro Forum or the North
American Fishing Club forum for more information,

Here is a link to multiple forums.
