Thats funny,
it does show you the fish you are not going to catch , being new to a kicking boat, I really like to have depth and structure of the bottom, and knowing if there is a fish is nearby is great, more confidence will bring more fish, i've heard that from the greats[cool] ......I found the fishing buddy ok on my first use...my time with it is still very limited and I have not really played with sonar much at all...as a beginner it was good to have it ready to go without making any adjustments...
my thoughts the unit,
great for portablity without dealing with extra battery connections or tranducer mounting, I used 6 recharable double AA on my first test and battery still strong after 3 hours of use...the 110 and 120 do not extend, the tranducer is at a fixed position from the display....it will proably not be a good substitute in a boat...
I believe the wiring on battery case could have been of thicker wire, looks really thin,
The side view finder only tells you how far the fish are from you, but not thier depth.
Still testing, will do more this weekend.
