jdmidwest Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 I use mine in ponds all of the time. It is battery powered and has a suction cup transducer. I use it to find structure, drop offs, and fish.

Huh...never even considered it. Guess I figured I could pretty much cover all the water anywhere I would normally float. Suppose it would be handy now and then.
timsfly Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 I use a small portable fish finder when fshing on fellows lake, it fits on the kayak kinda like a trolling motor, it does work great for temp, depth, and for finding drop offs and brush piles, I use it on table rock to when hunting for rock piles and crappie beds, works pretty good.

Members Clark Posted April 20, 2010 Author Members Posted April 20, 2010 Where are you going to be taking a kayak where you'll need a fish finder? any of rivers, creeks that i can search for deep pools and shallow pools that i can find also can be use in ponds and lakes too but i'm foucs on the smallmouth bass fishing tha i want to search a new spots around ozaraks area not just a pond for smallmouth but a largemouth bass too ..
Members Clark Posted April 20, 2010 Author Members Posted April 20, 2010 i'm seeking on a hummerbird fish finder that make for kayak that come with gps and fish finder on it that way i can track the spot to spot in creek or small river far as i can go but i'm still looking for a kayak that can mount a fish finder below the kayaw but i'm have been watch youtube.com and show they do that and a idea but i'm trying to find a nice kayak that can put finder by seat that u can read and paddle when u are not fish or put away all need a flip it down and seal it down with small hatch as bow than take it off that way everytime go out for touring or fishing i would ever use finder to search around but i'm thinking of use vexilar battery they has a recharger to use again and again but vexilar does make snaor fish finder and a picture fish finder but not with gps but i'm keep looking for kayak and the fish finder...
jdmidwest Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 I use a Eagle Cuda 242 and my Triton 400 if I need a gps. The gps is good for new streams to gauge your time on a float and keep from getting stuck after dark on a new float. You can mark spots and return to them. It has mapping and tracking capability. The Cuda has a battery pack that uses 8 AA batteries like the gps and my camera, I use rechargables and they usually last several trips. I switch it over to the jon boat when I fish out of it and on friends boats that don't have a finder. The suction cup works good, would not advise on shallow float streams. Poke around on the internet and you will find ways to mount transducer inside the hull and shoot thru. One I saw makes a small water pond inside the hull and you just lay the transducer in it. Depth and drop offs are great when you are river, pond, or lake fishing. Water temp is good too. The Triton is mostly for land but has the capability to load aerial photos of the area so you can have that option too. You can also purchase marine maps for some lakes and coastal stuff.
