http://fishfinderreviews.org Fish Finder Product Reviews en-US Fri, 1 Jan 2010 11:29:50 +0000 http://fishfinderreviews.org/index.php Fishing is an absolute fantastic way to spend a beautiful day. It is you, maybe some family or friends, and just the water. If you want to increase the chance of catching a fish, you are going to need a fish finder.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/lowrance_x96_fishfinder.php There are many fish finders on the market. There is practically one for every type of fishing known to man. And it can be difficult making the final decision on the one that will work best for your needs.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/eagle_cuda_300_fishfinder.php One of the "extras" you get with the Eagle Cuda 300 is the ability to see the depth of the fish. That is important because when casting out your line and using weights you want to hit the right depth for the particular fish you are after. The terrain the Eagle Cuda 300 shows is pretty detailed considering it is a lower end model.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/eagle_fisheasy_350c_color_compact_fishfinder.php Even with the few complaints, most people are very pleased with the new features that the Eagle FishEasy 350C Color Compact Fishfinder has available. Another plus is the fact that it has been redesigned to handle faster boating speeds. That means you can go faster in your boat and have the screen refresh itself fast enough so you can see where to stop without having to go at a slow pace.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/furuno_fcv_295_104_fish_finder.php The 10.4" color screen on the Furuno allows you to see it in daylight, which is very important. Cheaper fish finders are often unreadable when light is shining directly on the screen.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/garmin_fishfinder_140.php With so many fish finders available these days it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact model that fits your needs best. All have basic functions and some are far more advanced than others. Many people base their decision on price, which is not necessarily a bad thing.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/humminbird_997c_si_combo_nvb_color_fish_finder.php When you consider just how much fish finders have changed over the last thirty years, it is actually quite amazing. The initial fish finders were expensive yet gave distorted viewings of the terrain below the sensor and had a very limited sonar reach. By the time you got your line in the water the school of fish was past.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/humminbird_smartcast_rf_15_portable_fishfinder.php The Humminbird SmartCast RF 15 Portable Fishfinder is perfect for those on the go who do not want to be tethered to a boat or to have to lug around a more traditional fish finder. It is not for everyone and it is not marketed as such. It cannot plot your fishing course and it does not come pre-loaded with area maps.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/humminbird_smartcast_rf_35_wrist_mount_fishfinder_with_rss.php But smaller is not always better and though the Humminbird SmartCast RF-35 Wrist Mount Fishfinder with RSS has a very interesting premise behind it, it really does not measure up to the mark as well as larger fish finders that you can buy. The idea behind it is to wear it, cast out the sonar buoy and you can then see the layout of the water bed and the fish within range. The product description says that it has 90 degrees of sonar coverage and covers a 75 foot range with a 125 foot depth.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/lowrance_hds_10_fishfinder_gps_chartplotter.php You absolutely cannot compare the Lowrance HDS-10 Fishfinder/GPS Chartplotter to lower end fish finders you find on the market these days. And it is a far cry from the fish finders of the past. Those early models offered very basic functions.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/portable_fish_finder.php The effectiveness of your portable fish finder will be contingent on correct mounting. Most units come with detailed instructions but if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, then don't hesitate to get some help. The actual fitting is quite a simple operation and only requires an electric drill and few basic tools.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/eagle_fish_finder.php There are several different models of the Eagle fish finder and all are very easy to use and are affordable. Because of its size and lightweight design this fish finder can be used on small watercraft like kayaks, canoes or even or float tubes. The transducer, the working part of the fish locator, mounts onto the craft using a suction cup.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/eagle_fish_finders.php Eagle fish finders takes the guesswork out of fishing with a device that is so small that it fits in the palm of your hand. Even if you don't fish often, it's still a good tool to add to your gear, and lower end models are quite inexpensive. Some can be purchased for as low as $100.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/gps_fish_finder.php The Eagle FishElite 500c GPS Fish Finder is another popular choice. It has a high quality ultra bright and 256 color LCD screen. It also possesses a full size combo 200 kHz sonar and mapping GPS and WAAS, with 256-color, sunlight-viewable 320Vx240H pixel display.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/gps_fish_finders.php Part of owning a marine GPS device involves diligent maintenance. If you don't take good care of the system you could end up spending big bucks for replacement parts or a completely new system. When installing your marine GPS fish finder, try to settle on a permanent location that is easily accessible to you.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/humminbird_fish_finder.php After turning on the fish finder, look at the digital readings that appear on the screen. Depending on the Humminbird fishfinder model you have, these could be depth, water temperature and boat speed readings. These readings are based on the location of the transducer that sends sonar signals from the water to the fish finder.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/humminbird_fish_finders.php Getting Humminbird fish finders ready to hit the water is as simple as drilling a few holes and connecting a few cables.

There are also a number of fish finder accessories available to enhance, maintain, and protect your device.[...] http://fishfinderreviews.org/lowrance_fish_finders.php Lowrance fish finders are so high-tech that they seem almost sci-fi. Imagine being able to fish with the help of a device with HDTV technology for their screens, an Ethernet expansion port to transfer data, and a weather tracking service through Sirius Satellite. The Lowrance models have become popular with serious fishermen because of their simplicity and their reputation for being able to take a beating.[...]
