Catch Fish Where They Are With Portable Fish Finders
Author : Peter Gitundu
When it comes to portable fish finders, fishers can be divided into different camps. First there are the ones who are unaware of the technology. Second, there are those who are aware of it but have yet to experience it.
Of those, there is a large group that look forward to using one, and a tiny minority who do not want to try it, because they are sports fishing purists and they feel it is cheating. The last group is comprised of those who have used the technology and never want to be without it again.
Portable fish finders are an anglers dream come true, because it allows them let them see where the fish are. They can be used in a boat, on the shore, a pier, a bridge or even on ice. These hand held devices show images of what is under the water and can even tell you what depth the fish or other objects are at. You can also see if there are weeds of other obstructions that could be a hindrance.
They are sonar, (SOund NAvigation & Ranging), technology that is similar to what bats and dolphins use. The device sends out an electronic signal that goes into the water and bounces back with the pertinent information.
The fishers that call the use of fish finders a form of cheating, take the position that Fishing is not just about the act of getting the fish. It is about the entire process that goes into it, and that using technology to find the fish for them, would take away a lot of the feeling of satisfaction that they get from fishing.
It is their personal opinion, and it can not be considered a moral issue. For example, there are hunters who use dogs to help them and others who don't use dogs. Although, it could be an ethical issue if they are competing with others and the contest rules stipulate that this kind of help could not be used. Other than that, most people feel that to have this technology available and to never allow yourself to even try it, is the real sin.
Portable fish finders range in cost from under $100 to more than $1000. The smaller priced units are suited for more shallow water fishing and the screens may be harder to read in bright daylight. The more expensive models work for 100 feet of depth, have bigger display screens with color, and higher resolution. They provide information for a much larger area.
