hummingbirdlogo.jpg  FISH FINDERS & CHART PLOTTERS

Humminbird are reliable and efficient for use on the kayak and have also become the choice for many other smaller watercraft. This comes down to the products ability to tolerate harsher marine environments where water contact is common. The brand offers good quality equipment that will cater for any demanding anglers needs. Humminbird units are very easy to install in most vessels including most kayaks that allow for tranducer mounting in the hull. The Ocean Kayak fishing range offers the Fish Finder Ready Kit to make this easy. All Humminbird equipment has a 2 year guarantee with excellent full back up service.





Sonar Technology

You want a fishfinder for one reason: to see what’s going on under your boat. Humminbird Professional Grade Sonar Technology gives you the best look possible. Whether you’re fishing with Single Beam, sophisticated Advanced 3D or Side Imaging Sonar, Humminbird fishfinders give you the clearest, most accurate picture possible of fish, the bottom and structure. And every glimpse counts.

Side Imaging Sonar 

Catching is believing!

Side Imaging® Sonar, with its amazingly clear, picture-like images of fish, the bottom and structure, is available exclusively in the Humminbird 700 Series fishfinders. It’s the ultimate structure-finding tool, and with its massive coverage (75 meters from side to side!) you can scan in mere minutes what used to take hours.

Understanding the Beam

Humminbird® Side Imaging® Sonar uses a razor thin beam to take a "sonar snapshot" of the area up to 240 ft. to the left and right of your location. The return image for this slice is then added to the images taken immediately before and after to build an incredibly detailed view of the lake bottom.   

Features

Mark the GPS location of promising structure directly on the screen

High frequency sonar (not a camera) cuts through murk with crystal clarity

Up to 480 feet of coverage from side to side, scans huge areas fast

Units with Side Imaging® also includes traditional down-looking "2D" sonar

Down Imaging

Down Imaging_Clips

Side Imaging technology pointed in a new direction: straight down. 

Now you can see the detail of what is happening below your boat.  Timber, brush, bridge pilings, rocks and any other structure will pop with stunning detail as you patrol the water.

Features

Down Imaging™ "snapshots" are created with high-frequency sound waves emitted in razor thin slices.

Sonar returns from these waves create an instant "snapshot" below the boat.

Narrow Mode analyzes the returns to verify the position of the echoes to ensure Down Imaging™ only shows you structure and activity beneath you, and not off to one side or another.

DOWN IMAGING / 2D SONAR - This view provides complete understanding of what, exactly, is going on below your boat. Quickly identify structure with Down Imaging™, while using 2D to locate and target fish. Together, they take the guesswork out of sonar fishfinding.

DOWN IMAGING™ / SIDE IMAGING™ SONAR - Get a complete 180° view. Down Imaging™ provides picture-like views directly below the boat, while Side Imaging® shows structure out to 240 feet on either side of your boat. It's two detailed images unlike anything you've ever seen.

DOWN IMAGING™ / SIDE IMAGING™ SONAR / 2D SONAR - Don't miss a thing with these three Humminbird technologies working together. Use traditional 2D and Down Imaging™ together for a straight down view, while Side Imaging™ reaches out to both sides.

 

Switchfire

SwitchFire_Clips

 

When you hit the water, you don't limit yourself to one bait. So why limit your sonar? Exclusive Humminbird® SwitchFire™ Sonar gives you the power to choose how returns are displayed. With two unique modes, you have complete control to adjust with the fishing conditions, making our down-looking sonar an even more valuable fishfinding tool. With SwitchFire™ Sonar you'll never fish the same way again. Just another way Humminbird® is simply, clearly, better.

Features 

  • MAX MODE: Incredible detail. Watch as the sonar returns explode from the screen in amazing detail. You’ll see the tiniest subsurface object—even thermoclines and water currents - for complete underwater coverage.

  • CLEAR MODE: Easy viewing in rough water. Time Variable Gain (TVG) software sifts through sonar returns to display only fish and structure. Great for fishing in shallow and rough water, or reducing undesired clutter in the water column. 

  • THREE COLOR PALETTES: New color palettes provide even more flexibility on the water to deal with overcast or full-sun conditions.
