Catch of the Day - the GPS Fish Finder

By Daniel Stouffer

Fishing is one of our most treasured pastimes. Indeed, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service more than 60 million people actually participate! Reports indicate a significant contribution to the economy from those countless hours of patience and tenacity. Many people reckon that fishing is very therapeutic and this is often the reason given when taking up this treasured pastime. Although a lot of people fish just for the sake of it and are happy to catch what they may, many others are more serious and will go to greater lengths to be productive. For those people a GPS fish finder is a great benefit.

A GPS fish finder uses modern day technology to pinpoint the location of shoals of fish. There are quite a range and variety of products on the market, catering to all levels of expertise. Some may find a more basic model suitable for their limited needs whilst professionals will often choose a top of the range model. There are significant differences between these products.

Three things are very important when you are setting out to hunt for fish. Make sure that your GPS fish finder gives you information on distance, speed and temperature.

Certain fish have different spawning habits and are likely to populate water with a certain temperature. Often they won't spawn unless the temperature is within a certain range and it therefore follows that if you can determine the temperature you have a better chance of successfully fishing. Most of the better GPS fish finder models come complete with a temperature gauge.

Using data received following the transmission of radio frequency waves between your location and orbiting satellites, the GPS fish finder can accurately triangulate your position. Giving you a high degree of accuracy, this can be a great safety aid as you will always know where you are.

To give yourself the best chance of success when trolling for fish, you will need to maintain a certain speed. The GPS fish finder will help to give you accurate information so you can be sure that your day on the open water is a productive one.

When you've been fishing for some time, you have a good idea where to go to look for the shoals. However, the GPS fish finder can give you accurate distance measurements between your port and these locations. The device's memory will register and record the spots and you can program it simply to navigate to your favorite positions.

The better GPS fish finder models have a range of features. For example, detailed chart plotting and sonar readings and highly accurate maps of rivers, lakes and coastline. You can view all the data on specially designed color screens even in bright sunlight and the devices normally interact with a host of other navigational, safety and fishing aids. When it comes to mounting the device, you can either fit it on the dash or on the transom according to your choice. - 21396
