Catch Fish Where They Are With Portable Fish Finders

Individuals who enjoy fishing can be categorized a handful of different ways in regard to portable fish finders. There are those who are simply unaware of them. There of those who know of their existence but have yet to use one.

That group is mostly comprised of individuals who look forward to getting to try them, and possibly get one of their own. But, a small portion of this group want nothing to do with fish finders, since they are purists who believe it is unfair.

For most fisherman, portable fish finders are a fantasy that has been brought to life, letting them see where the fish are hanging out. It doesn't matter if they are fishing in a boat, from a bridge or pier, on the shore, or even doing ice fishing. The devices are hand held and they show what is the under water, & they tell you the depth. They even let you know when there are weeds or other things that could get in the way.

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 individuals who consider fish finders as cheating, will tell you that fishing isn't just about the act of catching the fish. They say it entails the whole experience that goes into it, and that the ability to know where fish are, through technology, actually deprives them of a certain satisfaction that makes fishing enjoyable, to begin with.

That, of course, is a personal issue and not a moral one. For instance, some hunters use dogs while others prefer not to have that advantage. The only way ethics come into play is if you are competing with others and the rules do not allow for that kind of help. In that case, it would be a clear cut case of cheating. Short of that kind of situation, most fishers tend to feel if you have a fish finder available and you don't use it, that is the real sin.

The price range of portable fish finders is from less than a hundred dollars to more than $1000. The less expensive models work best for shallow water fishing. The screen displays might be difficult to read in direct sunshine. The more expensive units work to depths up to 100 feet and provide more detailed readings for larger areas. Their screen displays are larger, in color and have better resolution.
