We got a call recently from someone wondering whether he would be able to use the existing transducer that came with his boat. That opened a conversation about compatibility. Not all brands of ducers will be compatible with all brands of GPS fishfinder combination. You really want to do your homework on that one to be sure that you have the correct match. Also, his old fishfinder was set into his boat, permanently affixed; and he wanted to be able to drop his new model into the same slot. We did the homework and found the GPS fishfinders that would meet all his criteria. That was an interesting exploration, but we found some great options that would fit perfectly. During that search it brought out the fact that, although some fishfinders will work permanently affixed to the boat, some will actually get much better reception and give you better screen visibility if they are on a swivel mount which gives clearance all around. These are all important things to consider when shopping for a replacement GPS fishfinder combo for your boat to give you the best fishing possible. Happy fishing, and I hope you catch the Big One!
Anglers tend to take one of two approaches to a fishing trip: either they’re in it for the relaxation and camaraderie or they’re deadly serious about reeling in a trophy fish. Family fishing trips seldom become competitive; it’s usually enough to catch a few bass or trout in an inland lake while spending the rest of the time shooting the breeze and enjoying a cold beverage or two.
Fishing competitions are another matter entirely. Serious anglers often realy possess keen fishing instincts that have been honed through years of experience. Still, they accept help wherever they can get it. An Eagle fishfinder features a combination of sonar and GPS mapping technology, allowing anglers to pinpoint the likeliest location where a school of fish might be hanging out. When pride and prize money are on the line, a fishfinder is practically as essential as the boat itself.
