Eagle Fish Finders Are Ideal For Small Boats
By Rodger G Allenby
Fish finders aren't just for big commercial fishing boats anymore.
Anglers everywhere can use these sonar devices to take the guesswork
out of finding great fishing spots. Regardless of your environment,
a locating device is a helpful piece of equipment to include with
your fishing gear.
Eagle fish finders have snagged a great reputation among sport
fishermen because of device design and accuracy. It's ideal for
small boats and is affordable.
The Working Element Is The Transducer
Eagle fish locators come in a variety of models, all of which
are very easy to use and are reasonably priced. The design of
the units is ideal for small boats, kayaks, canoes and even floating
tubes. As with all electronic fish finders, the transducer is
the working element.
The Eagle's transducer has a suction cup mount that easily attaches
to your boat. One of the most popular features is the large, bright
screen that makes it easy to read the charts. The various models
range in price from approximately $100-$500 and come with a 1-year
manufacturer's warranty.
A Sound Wave Connects With Fish, Weeds And Rocks
Eagle fish finders use sonar technology to review your options
and evaluate the area under your boat. A transducer takes an electrical
impulse and converts it into a sound wave, which it beams into
the water. When the sound wave connects with objects like fish,
weeds, rocks or other debris, the sound wave bounces back to the
transducer, which converts it into an electrical signal again.
This returned signal, or echo, is displayed on the screen. A
chart determines the distance the sound traveled. This information
is displayed on a screen to help you determine if fish are in
the area. This is invaluable to anglers who don't want to waste
a lot of time searching for schools of fish.
Evaluates The Water Below Your Boat
One of the most attractive features of the Eagle finders is the
simple operating mechanism. Anyone can use it. Once you find a
fishing spot that you think might be a winner, turn on your device
and evaluate the depth and water temperature.
The information will be accurate to approximately 600 feet and
will appear in the corner of the screen. The sonar chart will
scroll and display what's directly beneath the boat as you drift
or troll. By using the menu options you can adjust the sensitivity
of the device. The fish will show as a straight line when you
are stationary.
Eagle fish finders are known for their accuracy up to 600 feet,
but sometimes branches and other debris can result in a false
reading. To get the most out of your fish locator, you must determine
which frequency to use.
Better Detail And Definition And 200kHz
Generally, it's best to use 83 kHz option in very deep saltwater
and the 200 kHz option in shallow water up to about 300 feet.
The 200 kHz frequency gives better detail and definition, but
its depth penetration isn't as good. Fish locators are great tools
but no piece of technology is a substitute for instinct.
If you feel that your trophy catch is hiding in a certain spot,
go ahead and hit it with everything you've got! As every avid
angler knows, there's nothing like the thrill of a great catch.
