I remember back when I was a teenager I was fishing with an old friend. She got a hot tip from his friend that walleyes bite on a local lake. As I said in a previous post, I did not fish for walleyes at the moment, so I do not know too much, but I was interested.
Well, this boy a 12-foot aluminum boat, the base engine, and a concrete block tied to a rope to an anchor. Oh, and the combination of anchor rope was our depth sounder. We limped around the general areaunder "polls" with the anchor, until we thought we were in about the right place. All that we took that night was a beautiful series of Bullhead.
There is nothing to do … Do you really need to get some kind of electronics to tell how far the bottom of the lake is under your boat. Anyone who has a lot of fishing should really invest in a kind of sonar. The word "sonar" is an acronym for "Sound Navigation and Ranging." E 'was developed during World War II for tracking enemyU-Boot. A sonar consists of a transmitter, the transmitter, receiver and display.
Fisheries sonar devices transmits an electrical impulse, which have been converted into a sound wave transmitted from the transducer and water. This wave strikes an object and bounce, hit the echo of the transducer, which converts into an electrical signal that is interpreted by the receiver and displayed. Sound in water at a constant speed of about 4,800 meters per second. Knowing this, the timebetween the transmitted signal and the echo received can be measured and determined the distance of the object. This process is repeated several times per second.
In practice, most fishing sonar display will consist of a liquid crystal display. On most units, the screen scrolls to give you a series of readings, as the signals bounce from the bottom of the lake. Even the less expensive units will have a display similar, although the majority on the bottom of the white and black. The scalethe page gives you the depth of reading and a solid line and continuous horizontal represents the earth. Fish is a hook halfway between the surface and the bottom. Sonar gives you an instant reading, so that a constant stream of information flowing to the device. If you cruise along the coast or at any point, you can find the sonar to look sharp drops or bumps on the surface. Moreover, most fishermen will use sonar to determine whetherthere are no fish around. If you do not see Tell-tale hook, it's usually time to throw a bait into the water. Rather difficult to grasp what is not there!
These two units are the basic units of sonar … color and black and white. Nor would it be for the angler who wants to control the depth and location of fish, enough:
As if this innovation is not enough, now we are in the era of combined technologies of sonar and GPS. Many of you have a Garmin orSome others, such as the navigation device in your car. Now, imagine how it would be nice if you have a detailed map of the contours of the lake have been right to fish on your depth-finder did. Well, I'm pleased to say that this technology has for some time. The image on the left side has generated a typical picture of modern electronic fishing. Units, the GPS functions are usually have to take a slot for SD memory cards from companies such as Mastercard or Navionics Lake. These companiesMapping of the popular lakes for hours and produce high quality paper, like those on the left side. The best of these maps are very detailed fine lines as three feet. Combined with global positioning your boat's position is superimposed on this map (which you can enlarge or reduce our more or less accurately) in which you are a visual representation of your position on the lake, compared to the physical properties that can be seen on their paper. It 'used to sing me a good 10 minutes here and thereTo find a mid-pile Rock Lake in my Favorite local lake. And even then I could not end that I was. The chip in my Lowrance LakeMaster I just landed and go right at the Rockpile. Conjectures gone. Like all things electronic spectrum of reasonable prices ridiculous. We can expect to shell out $ 600 – $ 700 for a color sonar / GPS unit with a 5-inch screen. More if you go for the larger screen.
The end result is that the pikeFisherman's Arsenal really need to have some form of sonar. The basic unit is the depth and fish marking is sufficient for most fishermen. This makes it much easier to capture job # 1 when venturing out for your favorite lake … and that the fish is to find!
