Hi Calhoun,

The portable 'Fishing Buddy' fish finders by Bottomline are a wonderful
product.

I was up in British Columbia last June fly fishing some real good lakes for
trout and almost everyone had a Fishing Buddy up there on their float tube,
pontoon boat or small skiff. My friend had one and we ran it all week on one
set of 3 each fresh 'c' cell batteries.

On a skiff with an out board motor you have to lift it up out of the mount
an lay it down in the boat if you are going to go faster than an idle.

Places like Cabelas or maybe Wal-mart are the best places to buy them. They
cost almost the same wholesale to us little shops as we can buy them at
Cabelas so you won't find them much in small shops.

Saw a guy with a fish finder that hung over the side of a row boat. It was
self contained. (no external battery)Didn't catch the manufacture. Anyone
seen one of these? do they work?
thanks
