Default Portable Fish/depth finder

Back in the 80s (?) I had one just like in the picture.
I'm not very smart......sold it.
Worked great to check depth before drilling holes in the ice.

I'd really like to have an inexpensive one again.

Someone here have one tucked away in a back room they will part with ?

I use a garmine striker 4. The bundle is on sale at cabelas right now and it works great. Has gps so you can set way points to go back to them at a later date. Is flasher option and regular sonar option. Comes with a cary case battery and base. https://www.cabelas.ca/product/13449...ortable-bundle

For that price I would suspect u would have to buy a used unit. But I’ve never seen one sell for that cheap.

actually as mentioned I bought that little unit to have the versatility of putting it on the kayak, canoe or for ice fishing...has some great features and didn't break the bank.

Great piece of kit....ohhh and a little secret about water depth etc...clear the snow off the ice...wet the surface...put transducer on top of ice...

Saves on drilling a lot of holes....
