How do you find fish?
With SONAR, hoping you will find something that attracts fish?
Or do you just cruise around, stopping randomly to try your luck?
The best answer could be: "It doesn't matter, I am fishing!"
However, if you are using either of the methods above, you are probably
wasting valuable time, money and, fuel and very likely catching fewer fish
than you could be.
Lake Scans can show you where those objects that attract fish are located
before you even leave your house; Saving you time, money
and fuel.
What if,
before you left your house, you could print a list of locations where those
objects are? That would allow you to go to each location, using your fish
finder to check for fish and move on if there are none. Saving you a lot of
time and money (in fuel) and making your existing equipment much more
efficient. Using Lake Scans, you can. If you have a GPS, you can position
your boat right over the objects by using the latitude and longitude from
the list or, you can print the map with each object plotted. You can use the
map to fish the object area without a GPS.
The picture below
is from Knox Lake near Fredericktown Ohio. The view is from over the
the lake, looking down. The light part of the picture (at the top) is under
the WATER. The dark part of the image is LAND. The objects under
the water that have a dark line under them are usually stumps or standing
trees and, the dark line is called an "acoustic shadow." You can think of
think of looking down at your yard from high in the sky. You will see
shadows of trees, cast by the sun on the horizon. Generally, the longer
the shadow, the taller the tree. The same is true for objects under the
water. The image shows a 760 foot by 200 foot section of the lake bottom.
