Best backpacking or backwoods fish finder
Best portable fish finder. I use an average of one week per year while canoeing in the bwca of northern Minnesota. I bring 2 or 3 sets of lithium AAAs and have enough power to run for a whole week. Transducer works great even just placing on the hull of the canoe. Works great for targeting walleye and dragging rigs and slip bobber fishing. I even bring it along Ari and home if I’m renting a boat. Have used it ice fishing in flasher mode a few times. It’s passable but not as responsive as a dedicated flasher. I decree that this is the best fish finder for the bwca.

Excellent, easy to use and accurate
Excellent product. I watched a couple videos on setting it up, easy to adjust settings, accurate for temperature, depth and fish because we checked it with the sonar on our boat. Works well for the canoe.If you see fish and are not catching any, decrease sensitivity so you are not seeing the small bait fish.We love it.

Amazing little tool! (Once you figure it out..)
I was really holding off on reviewing this unit until I had an appropriate amount of time to test it and dial it in a little. I was mostly interested in this for the ice fishing flasher feature, but needed a finder for my 14′ v-hull as well. Figures I’d try to kill two birds with one stone.Straight from the box with factory settings, depth and water temperature showed accurately. (Which is kinda half the battle with these cheaper fish finders) Menus are very easily navigated and settings easily changed. I have no doubt the regular fish finder feature will work great on my boat this coming spring/summer/fall. I’ve already ordered the 12v adapter kit and high speed transducer direct from Hawkeye’s website. Hurrah!When I first went to use the flasher, what an awful experience. I spent a full day out on the water wracking my brains trying to figure out what exactly I was looking at. I couldn’t determine fish from bait from ground level, nothing. I also couldn’t see my jig at any depths, including when it was directly beneath my transducer. I was so disappointed but not ready to give up on it.With a couple days of tinkering and a lot of online research, I finally have the units flasher set up exactly how I need it and I’m very pleased with how well it works. Can easily locate my jig and see when the fish move to it. Battery life is a little low, (but what do you expect on 4 AAA batteries?) but aides greatly in the portability of the unit. I’ve found one set of standard Energizer batteries will get you about 10-12 hours in colder weather. Will have to get some of the Lithium batteries the manufacturer recommends to try out and compare.Shout-out to the customer support staff at Hawkeye as well. They are very helpful and quick to respond to any questions you may have. It’s truly a shame more companies do not operate as efficiently as they do.Overall, I’m super happy with the FishTrax C1 fish finder. It is incredibly versatile, easy to read, portable, and very cost effective. 4/5 stars just for battery life, it took sooo long to dial in, and it REALLY doesn’t like water under 3-3.5 feet.

Best Portable Fish Finder
Bought this as a gift, however, was kind of selfish as it’s for my significant other:) We rented a boat this year and wanted to find a fish finder that we wouldn’t have to mount. One that would be useful offshore if we hit a bank here or there. We have yet to fish with it off bank but due to the design don’t believe that will be an issue. It is extremely accurate as I also use it to dive into water, so I’m dependent upon it’s accuracy. That’s huge trust! Easy to throw into the boat bag with the case (bought separately). Also bought separately the suction cup holder which is extremely useful and also fits in the box purchased. Have not had a problem reading or seeing the screen. The transponder is easy to just throw over and does as described by giving the full view. This product rivals extremely expensive mounted fish finders I’ve used in the past. Would absolutely recommend.

DOES NOT TURN ON OR STAY ON MOST OF THE TIME
WORKS AS EXPECTED WHEN IT TURNS ON AND STAYS ON. IT JUST DOES NOT TURN ON MOST OF THE TIME AND RANDOMLY TURNS OFF WITHOUT WARNING SOMETIMES. (YES I REPLACED THE BATTERIES). DISAPPOINTING FOR SURE.

The Best For A Kayak
Great for my kayak- I purchased the kayak transducer mount as well and love it! Best part is it just slides off the track as one piece and i can store it till the next trip! Tip- Buy some rechargeable batteries to save some money- I bought a set of 8 Lithium AAA’s that came with the charger on Amazon for around 16 dollars-

The best for the money.
Works as it should, last for days with lithium batteries. Only downside is kind of a doosy, the unit has trouble distinguishing fish from the ice or top of the water and from the bottom so essentially if the fish are within a foot of the top of the water or the bottom the finder will still show them but they will be mixed in with the top and bottom readings so will be hard to tell if its a fish or just bottom or surface of water. I assume the unit would work better in the summertime since fish would be more active and easier to mark. Still the best finder for the money just gotta be prepared to deal with the above listed shortcomings.

This fish finder does everything I need it to do and more. It’s very user friendly and had it set up in no time. Works well and with the 2 year no fault warranty you can’t go wrong with this unit. I contacted Hawk Eye before purchasing this unit to make sure it would do what I needed it to do pared with my underwater camera and the service was excellent with the suggestion that this unit would be perfect for my needs and they were right on. I would definitely recommend this to anyone for ice fishing or with a small boat.

This is the second Hawkeye fish finder I purchased. The first was a very basic entry level device that did its job, but this one is AMAZING!!! It’s worth the extra money for all the bells and whistles. Looking back, I should have purchase this a long time ago.
