Choosing A Fishfinder
, 12 23rd, 2010
In choosing a fish finder, you will need to decide on a budget. Next, consideration must be made to the different types of display formats. Black and white is the simplest with other choices being grayscale (also known as monochrome) and color. Another choice is the display type. Units can be any of several variations of LCD or they can use a CRT. LCD displays are are the same type commonly used on laptop computers. CRT displays use a picture tube similar to a traditional television display. CRT displays are best suited for a sheltered environment such as an enclosed cabin. The other choices all tend to boost the price, making a compromise inevitable if you have budget restraints. A humminbird fishfinder will have a of the things we just talked about

Although a Furuno Fishfinder is an industry leader with their relatively
new integrated NavNet 3D systems, they are also
savvy enough to know that “real, hardcore” fishermen typically
prefer to have their fishfinders as a separate and dedicated
unit. There is just no substitute for having a single
purpose big-screen fishfinder, especially so when you are
working the deepwater canyon drop-offs, searching for the
thermocline when sharking, trying to spot some stripers in
the rips, chunking for tuna at night on the edge and/or trying
to position your boat over a fave wreck or reef. Furuno’s
FCV295 has an interesting array of dedicated one-touch
knobs and keys for some of the most often used tasks, plus
a superb and industry-leading digital filter to allow you to
see exactly what is swimming between your hull’s bottom
and the seabed floor without any make believe.

Furuno Fishfinder
, 10 18th, 2010Y
ou’ve probably heard about digital fish finders, but aren’t quite sure what the difference is. The main difference is the filtering capabilities and auto adjustments. Our new FDF (Furuno Digital Filter) technology helps adjust gain, STC “Clutter” and output power, as well as suppress main bang (the echoes just below the transducer.) It also makes the picture clearer and easier to decipher. But even the best digital filter won’t help unless you start with a solid basis, such as Furuno’s fish finder technology.
The FCV620′s waterproof construction allows it to be installed on any bridge. Audio and visual alarms alert you whenever preset limits are met for water depth, water temperature and fish echoes. Selectable display modes include High or Low Frequency, Dual Frequency, Zoom, Nav Data, A-Scope, Marker Zoom, Bottom Zoom or Bottom-Lock. Furuno’s TLL (Target Lat/Lon) output allows you to interface the FCV620 with your Furuno chart plotter so you can mark any spot you desire and save it as a waypoint, enabling you to return to it whenever you desire.

Little Known Fishfing Tips

Little Known Fishing Tips
As a child, I spent a lot of time thinking about fish while no fish were biting on my fishing line. I came to a lot of conclusions as the years went by, but it wasn’t until I was an adult, that I understood that fishing is a sport, a science, and an art. While I don’t get to do much fishing these days, I am ready to share the reasons why I almost always catch fish and the man next to me, doesn’t. The fact that my husband seldom catches any fish is probably the biggest reason why I don’t get to do much fishing, but that’s another story.
Like any subject, while you might get lucky and find fish in your lake or pond, knowledge is key to mastery and success, even in fishing. Many of us were lucky enough to have an older family member introduce us to the sport of fishing when we were very young. The first time you caught a fish, most of us were hooked on fishing. For some of us, including myself, that first time lured me into worlds of kindred subjects, such as owning a Furuno Fishfinder.
