Eagle Fish Finder In Your Fishing Tool Kit
By Rodger G Allenby
Fish finders aren’t just for commercial trawlers anymore. Weekend
warriors everywhere are now using these sonar devices to take
the guesswork out of finding areas where fish are feeding.
No matter what kind of fish you’re looking for or what kind of
water you’re fishing in, a locating device is a great piece of
equipment to have with your fishing gear. The Eagle fish finder
is quickly becoming the trophy tool among avid fishermen because
of its design and accuracy.
It’s ideal for small boats and is very reasonable in price. If
you want fish finders explained, then read on, as the pros and
cons of the Eagle will be weighed to help you decide if it’s the
right product for you.
Easy To Use And Affordable
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. Due to its sturdy and waterproof
casing, this portable fish finder can be used in both freshwater
and harsh saltwater environments.
A Bright And Readable Screen
Another big benefit of this device is the design of the screen.
It’s bright and readable - even in direct sunlight. The Eagle
ranges in price from approximately $100-$500 and comes with a
1-year manufactures warranty.
The Eagle fish finder uses sonar to locate the fish. A transducer
takes an electrical impulse and converts it into a sound wave,
which it beams into the water. When the sound wave hits an object
like fish, weeds, rocks or other underwater debris, the sound
wave bounces back to the transducer and converts it back into
an electrical signal.
Knowing If There Are Fish In The Area
This returned signal, or echo, is displayed on a screen. A chart
determines the distance the sound traveled. This information is
displayed on a screen to help you determine whether there are
fish in the area.
One of the Eagle’s biggest selling points is ease of use. Once
you have arrived at a potential fishing site, turn on your fish
locator. The device will display the depth and water temperature
to approximately 600 feet in the corner of the screen.
Reading The Sonar Chart
The sonar chart will scroll and display what’s directly beneath
the boat as you drift or troll for schools of fish. By using the
menu options you can adjust the sensitivity of the device. The
fish will show as a straight line when you are stopped.
As good as the Eagle fish finder is, no device is foolproof.
To get the most out of your fish locator, you must determine which
frequency to use. One rule of thumb is to use the 83 kHz option
in very deep saltwater and the 200 kHz option in shallow water
up to about 300 feet.
Watch Out For False Readings With Fish ID
The 200 kHz frequency gives better detail and definition, but
its depth penetration isn’t as good. The sonar can be fooled,
so watch for false readings if you use the fish display option--often
called Fish ID--instead of the actual fish echoes.
Fish ID displays symbols on the screen. For example, a small
fish symbol will appear when the device "thinks" the
target is a small fish, a medium icon when it "thinks"
it has hit a medium fish etc.
In spite of this, the Eagle is still a great device that will
definitely improve your game.
