A Guide to the Eagle Fish Finder
Nothing is more heartbreaking to a fisherman than going home empty handed. Instead of leaving your haul to chance, consider including a fish finder with your fishing gear. These fish locators scan the water to help you find schools of fish that are feeding so that you never go home without a great catch again. Among the most popular choices is the Eagle fish finder. This sturdy, lightweight piece of equipment can help you hook the greatest catch of your life. In this article, we’ll review this great fishing tool and help you decide if it’s the right fish finder for you.
There are a few different styles of the Eagle fish finder and all are quite easy to use and affordable. Because of its size and lightweight construction this device can be used on small watercraft such as kayaks, canoes or even or float tubes. The transducer, the operational part of the fish locator, is mounted on the craft using a suction cup. Because of its durable and waterproof exterior, this handy gadget can be used in both saltwater and freshwater settings. One more benefit of this device is the screen design. It is bright and readable – even in full sunlight. The Eagle ranges in price from about $100-$500 and comes with a 1-year manufacturers warranty.
Sonar signals is what allows these devices, including the Eagle fish finder, to work. Using a transducer, which is the working element, a signal is sent below the boat and it scans the area for fish, weeds and other underwater structures. The signal or echo is sent back to the boat and is displayed as a chart on your screen. The power of the transducer will determine how long this process takes. Customer reviews regarding the speed and accuracy of the Eagle have generally been very favorable.
One of the Eagle’s best selling points is ease of use. Once you have located a potential fishing location, switch on your fish finder. The unit will display the distance downward and water temperature to about 600 feet in the screen’s corner. The sonar chart will scroll and display anything right beneath the vessel as you drift or troll for schools of fish. By utilizing the menu choices you can tweak the sensitivity of the unit. The fish will be displayed as a straight line when you are stopped.
As good as the Eagle fish finder is, no device is foolproof. To get the most out of your fish locator, you must determine which frequency to use. One rule of thumb is to use the 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. The sonar can be fooled, so watch for false readings if you use the fish display option–often called Fish ID–instead of the actual fish echoes. Fish ID displays symbols on the screen. For example, a small fish symbol will appear when the device “thinks” the target is a small fish, a medium icon when it “thinks” it has hit a medium fish etc. In spite of this, the Eagle is still a great device that will definitely improve your game.
