- In this video I go over how I installed the Lucky Portable Fish Finder and tested it during a full day of fishing. All in all I'm really happy with how it performed and it provided some much needed data about the lake I've been fishing at. The depth and water temperature readings were confirmed accurate and I was able to use the sonar to identify underwater structure and find fish. I was a little disappointed I didn't get to mount the transducer how I wanted but honestly the new setup worked flawlessly. I hope you like the video!

Just a quick update, I've had this out a couple times now and it's extremely useful. It's also lasted two full 6-8 hour days on the water without needing to be charged. It's finally down to about 30% so I'm charging it back up -- very impressive battery life!

@JM-wj8en 3 года назад

Thank you for this video, good stuff. Based on this review I also purchased this device. I use this on my belly boat. I recommend playing with different sonar sensitivity settings. If the water has vegetation and/or water is murky with leafs etc particles, try to change to a low sensitivity like 3. It decreases false fish alarms, and at least i don't want to know about all the little minnows in the water. I mainly use this for pike fishing, so I also quickly turned off the small and medium size fish alarm, they don't interest me anyways. The big fish alert also reacted to small pikes (around one kilograms), so I don't think fish actually need to be very big in order to get to "big" category on this device. This simple sonar has all the features I could ever want.

@mvboutdoors 3 года назад

Great info here! I also had a lot success playing around with the sensitivity. For what this unit provides it's really a great value. Ill have to try only using the big fish alarm, I am generally looking Crappie/Bass so it sounds like it could work for that too. The 'small fish' setting must be for crystal clear waters or as you said, bait fish.

@tomgodzik2498 2 года назад

I just ordered mine. I bought it for a pond that is about 12' deep. I'm going to use it for ice fishing 🎣 😋 😄. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the fish finder.

@mvboutdoors 2 года назад

Awesome! Should work well for that. It's a fun little device for sure.

I got a Lucky for a Christmas gift, your’s looks nicer than mine, more buttons lol, I don’t think that mine tells temperature like your’s. Very nice video. Have fun and be safe. 😎

Great Review you sir earned yourself a subscriber , im a casual bank anlger myself and have decided that i want to get myself a portable depth finder to help me establish depth and you sir pretty much confirmed to me that this is worth the $40 on amazon. you sir earned a subscriber

Appreciate the showcase of the product! Think I’ll choose this for my canoe this season! Thanks again! 🇨🇦 ✌🏼

For a simple fish finder you can throw on a kayak/boat it really does work. I'm happy with it for what it is.

@Crussman499 3 года назад

Comparatively, the crew has the most gear track for the money. Are you getting a Yakgadget anchor pole?

@mvboutdoors 3 года назад

There are a ton of tracks on the Crew, it's true. I had an anchor pole but it wasn't as convenient as I hoped it would be. Instead I'm using a 3.5lb anchor now and I love it.

Do you have a video on the installation of the transducer? I was actually thinking of attaching it to an anchor trolley not sure how tho...

I bought this model! Won't be able to test it until spring! Have you tested it on the ocean? That's where I plan to use mine!

@mvboutdoors 2 года назад

I haven't had the chance, no oceans nearby, lol but the specs have pretty deep depth readings

Thanks got the same fish finder going to do this to my kayak again thank u

@urdadishoe 2 года назад

If you have a dry sort in your kayak you can put the fish finder in there and secure it , and the transducer can read through the kayak

Great idea!

@travisporter2882 2 года назад

Hey if you can’t use the suction cup mount. Get a go pro mount from yak attack with it. You can then combine the 2 and mount it on your rails

@figueroa152012 7 месяцев назад

Do you have a recent update on it? I want to get a garmin striker but I’m in no rush to buy everything to make it work on a kayak

@mvboutdoors 7 месяцев назад

I don't have a further update but I have used both units. The Lucky is more for general info, water temp, depth, some very light fish finding. If you want an actual sonar with very accurate results the striker would outclass the Lucky by a large margin. The best way I could put it would be like a TV, you could buy two TV's that are both 40in but one is 720p and the other is 4k.

@zipzip8239 2 года назад

i was going to do the scupper mount too but i think i like your way better.

It worked out really well, no complaints at all.

Is there a big box store that sells that type a FF . I looked in fleetfarm , running , Wal-Mart and a few more . I cannot buy anything on line period anymore . To risky and that's from experience . Maybe sheels store ?

@mvboutdoors 2 года назад

Sorry man I've online seen them online.

@jarrodrb 3 года назад

Hard to tell in video but if this cable is 25 ft long, what did you do with all of the excess?

@mvboutdoors 3 года назад

I coiled it up with a zip tie and keep it under the seat. I left enough off on each end to deploy the transducer and plug into the fish finder when attached to my jacket.

@Aladinohomes 3 года назад

Sweet. I just ordered the $130 one from Amazon for my Hobie. No idea what the difference is other than being waterproof/corrosion resistant. (I fish salt so that’s why I spent a little more). Didn’t want to drill holes into my Hobie so this fish finder should work perfect. I’m sure my scupper is to small as well. Lucky Sonar does sell a suction transducer mount that I’m also considering. Awesome vids. Appreciate it!

@jakubwiech538 2 года назад

I have a question about the sizes of fish that are displayed on the fish finder: what are the sizes of the fish that it's showing, i have been looking online for over an hour and I can't find anything that would actually suggest how big the fish is sure it says big or large but no measurements are online so i was wondering, maybe you would know

@mvboutdoors 2 года назад

I don't know the exact sizes but if you figure the small and medium to be bait fish you can kind of go from there

@talben-shahar2745 7 месяцев назад

What happened with the sneak??????

@Mrfrerob 3 года назад

Crew owner here. IF you want to upgrade your graph the Garmin Striker 4 transducer does fit in the scupper hole with a little bit of filing of the transducer. May be a nice upgrade path for you when you get to the point of needing a bit more capability in a sonar unit. Mine gets installed in the scupper plug when I get to the lake and as it sits barely recessed I don’t worry about it scraping on any rocks or logs. Many of the small lakes I fish in Wisconsin do not have any map data available so moving to a unit that allows you to make your own lake maps has been awesome. Love the Crew!

@mvboutdoors 3 года назад

Great to hear!

@DaveS217 Год назад

Does it show on the fish finder the outline of a fish nearby or how do you know what a fish on it im new to getting a fish finder.

@mvboutdoors Год назад

The resolution is pretty low for the unit but it will show lines where the fish are. It has a feature to replace the lines with fish icons to read it easier. The fish icons are not super accurate but you can adjust the sensitivity for it to be more accurate.

@TarheelBigfoot Год назад

They have the same unit ,but its wireless transducer.its about 15 or 20 more bucks..

Very good! Easily lasts a full day of fishing, I usually charge every 2nd - 3rd trip.

@matthewmarkle1839 Год назад

Just drill out the scupper hole to fit the trandducer.

@travisporter2882 2 года назад

A handy dandy way to mount this product on the rails is to combine the lucky suction cup mount with the yak attack go pro mount. This works because the top of the crappy suction cup mount is connected the same way as a GoPro so you can put the top of the crappy mount onto the good yak attack mount allowing you to put it on the rails. :)

@mvboutdoors 2 года назад

Cool idea! I'll look into that

@travisporter2882 2 года назад

@@mvboutdoors just tested it and my go pro fits onto the suction cup mount so I know it will work. Just put the fish finder mount half where the GoPro goes. I’m ordering one now
