The Anglers Options.
Boating anglers have several options when outfitting their sportfishing platform with a fish finder.
But there are two challenges that come with this territory, the first of which is to have the knowledge and skill to be able to tweak your fish finder so that it paints a precise picture of what's going on down below. The second hurdle is to be able to interpret this picture of the bottom and then take the appropriate action steps to leverage your sportfishing opportunities. The Harder the Echo, the Hotter the Color. A color fish finder that offers eight colors, usually range these from light to dark, depending on the echo return, starting off with soft colors like white, light blue, medium blue, dark blue, green, yellow, orange and finally red. Denser concentrations of larger forage fish might even approach yellow hues of color.
