   I have been using this fish finder for a few weeks now. It is definitely worth the money. I bought it to use when I fish in my kayak. It would be nice if you could get a shorter cable for it instead of the 35' cord. I just keep it coiled up. I just dangle the transducer over the side of the kayak. When I paddle along the water movement near the kayak interupts the signal. If I am sitting still or drifting or paddeling slow it works fine. I have one lake near me that is over forty feet deep. The fish finder seems to have trouble with water over that depth. I have been using rechargable batteries and I am wondering if those batteries are just not powerfull enough?? Next time I go to that lake I will try brand new regular batteries and see if it makes a difference.

   This is my first fish finder of any kind. Dad always went to the same spot @ dawn. I'm using it on my Native 14.5 Ultimate here in the lakes of Colorado. Fun to know depths and it adds a new dimension to how I look for structure and the depth the fish are feeding. Nice and compact unit and plenty of features for the recreational fisher-persons.

   I chose to buy this device based on the good review from other people who purchased it before. I took it out to a lake on a boat and it works very well. It gives the depth of the location and under water structure if it exists, or weed bed when it is present. When the fish swims by, it can let you know the depth of the fish just swimming by. After I observed the pattern of the fish depth, I set the hook/worm at the right depth and immediately we caught 1 striped bass and 2 rainbow trouts within 20 minutes, each worm caught a fish. The device really helps a lot, more than I can image. In the past when we went fishing in a lake (w/o this device) without knowing where the fish is and just relying on "guessing", we would not have such a luck. With anout $50 at Amazon, this is a must have item if you plan to go boat-fishing on a lake. It will save you lots of try-and-error time and save you the frustration.

   it worked wonderful for a depth finder, which is the most important aspect of a fish finder.i took it to canada for a week the first time i used it and it clearly worked for depth and structure and maybe for fish too as we caught a lot of fish.

   I have a Hobie Outback SUV kayak that I love to use to go fishing in. My son sent me the Hawkeye portable fishfinder as a fathers day present to use in my kayak. It has proven to be a permanent part of my fishing gear. It is lightweight, and very easy to use. It shows rocks, weeds, and of course fish. It even has an alarm that will go off should a school of fish pass under the sensor. I would highly recomend this product to other kayakers or canoers who love to fish...

Editorial Reviews

Ideal for fishing expeditions and family vacations, the Norcross Hawkeye F33P offers the latest in portable fish finder technology and is guaranteed to help you come up with better fish stories than ever before. Using an ultra wide, 45 degree sonar beam angle, this system delivers accurate depth, fish and bottom structure readings from 1.5 to 99.9 feet. Operationable down to zero degrees Fahrenheit, this unit includes a trollable, mountable, and floatable sonar sensor with 35 feet of cable and cable tie-strap.

The F33P is exceptionally easy to use; simply turn the power on, toss the sonar sensor from the shoreline, bridge, or boat, and in no time flat you'll receive instant depth, fish, weed, and contour readings. With its "SideScan" adapter, the F33P can also attach to a broomstick handle to scan under weeds, lily pads, ice, or docks. For added convenience, this system comes with mounting tabs for hull mounting of your portable fish finder to canoes, kayaks, and jon boats.

The F33P delivers reliable readings by using algorithmic programming. This reduces the number of false readings, while the unit's fish identifier, depth scale, and two-stage audible fish alarm ensure that you'll always know exactly what kind of fish you're closing in on. Designed to hold up under all kinds of conditions, the antenna is powered by four "AAA" batteries for 20 hours of continuous use, the backlit display prevents eye strain, and a special LCD protector eliminates condensation in the display. This portable fish finder features a palm-sized design that fits into your tackle box, gear bag, or pocket, making this an extremely versatile unit you'll rely on again and again.
