fish finder for ice and kayak

[westfish]

Does anyone have a good recommendation for portable fish finder that can be used on the ice in winter and in kayak over the warmer months?  Not many seem to run on standard batteries so if you can recommend a portable battery set up that would help too.  thanks in aadvance for any replies...

i just got the piranhamax 160 portable. comes with everything, the transducer, battery, battery charger and the unit itself. all comes packed in a soft side carrying case. i havent recieved it yet, but i think it will be a good little investment. i use the kayak alot in the summer too and have a jon boat as well so i figured if it works at all through the ice thats jsut a plus in my book as its main purpose is for my boats.

the only thing you might have to do is make sure the transducer is pointing directly down. not sure on how you would do that

i have the piranhamax 160 portable unit. i use it mostly for my kayak and ice fishing sometimes, i also bought the ice transducer to go along with the max160. i lucked out that the jimmy houston had 3 slots for transducers so the ice ducer plugs right in. works great but i still use my jimmy houston flasher for the hard stuff though. good luck.
