Claim 18:
19. A fish finder system, comprising:
a capture device information input terminal configured to input a capture device information;
a capture device dropping point input terminal configured to input a dropping point at which a capture device is dropped from a water surface;
a tidal current input terminal configured to input tidal current information including a tidal current direction and a tidal current speed, wherein area of the tidal current includes the dropping point;
processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the capture device information input terminal, the capture device dropping point input terminal, and the tidal current input terminal, and configured to:
calculate a drift amount of the capture device relative to the dropping point, based at least on the capture device information and the tidal current information;
calculate a capture device arrival point at which the capture device arrives in the water, based at least on the dropping point and the drift amount; and
output data related to the capture device arrival point;

a chart information acquiring terminal configured to acquire a chart data; and
a display device configured to:
display a chart on a screen; and
superimpose the capture device arrival point at a corresponding position on the chart, wherein

the screen is a touch panel type screen, and
the position of the dropping point is entered by touching the corresponding position on the displayed chart.
