Fishfinders have been helping fishermen catch fish for
years.  They are simply getting better every year as
technology improves.  Picking the right fish finder can be
tough.  You need to ask yourself a couple of general
questions before picking out a fish finder:  What will I be
using it for? and how much do I want to spend?

Figure out what type of fish finder you are going to need:
a portable one or permanent one.  If you are getting a fish
finder for a small row boat or for ice fishing, you need to
look for a fish finder that has a portable package so you
can use it in different situations.  If you want it for your
main fishing boat, then look for a good, permanent fish
finder that will last for a long time.

As far as price, figure out a price range that you want to
spend and compare all of the different brands and models
that fit in your range.  If you just go out looking at all fish
finders, it's going to be tough to compare just like it would
be hard to compare a small car to a big SUV.  So, find a
price range and do your research for as many fish finders
in that range until you find one that works for you.

Types of Fishfinders:  There are many different types of
fish finders.  Most new fish finders could pick up a small jig
40 feet down.  They are that good.  Fish finders are
available in black and white models as well as color.  Most
fishermen that go from a black and white model to a color
model will never go back.  The color makes everything
more visible, which allows you to see what you need to
see quicker, so you can spend more time fishing.

Fish finders are now available with GPS, WAAS, and
mapping options.  Depending on where you fish will
depend on whether or not you will want or need these
options.  If you take a fishing trip every year to a new lake,
you're going to want these options.  It will help you know
where you are at so you can get back to your lodge, camp
or just back to the boat ramp.  It is also very helpful for
getting back to same spots that you located fish on your
previous outings.
