Has anyone here used the Fishing Buddy clamp-on fish finder?

Yes, I've got one of the early models. It comes in very handy. I
have used it off many small boats and it helps find fish. My only
complaint is the clamp is not adjustable for angled transoms (so the
finder is not perfectly vertical), but I think the newer ones do have
adjustments. I keep it in the truck all the time.

Jim...
What about the narrow viewable area? Isn't that a problem, especially in
shallower water?

There's always something better, and you can always find shortcomings
in what you have...... however, I remember fishing before we had
depthfinders, let alone fishfinders. I'm damn glad for the
improvements in the last 40 years and don't consider it "a problem"..

The fishing buddy has helped me locate fish, and I've caught some fish
that I wouldn't have even pursued if the finder hadn't located them
first. I've got no complaints.
