Eagle Gps Depth Finder
What’s the difference between a fish finder and a depth finder for a boat? What’s the best finder for $300?
I’ve seen some EAGLE brand fish finders that have a bunch of options for around $270 (fish finder + GPS). If you have any experience with this brand I’d love to know what you think of it.
I’m not much of a fisherman, yet. I’d like to learn and who knows maybe I’ll love it. But for now i just want to spend not too much money on equipment, rather just enough to get me going.
A fish finder is a type of sonar that “reads” the fish…like the type that’s on a sub or ship that spots solid things and bounces the signal back to the receiver showing those moving things or fish.
Basically, they both work the same way. A depth finder shows you the bottom of the lake, river, etc…how far down it goes, the terrain under there, etc., most shown on a screen that “maps” the bottom. And there are some out there, that do both…that might be a better investment!
The sites below give you a few options on prices, but also tell you more about each one. Have fun, I haven’t been fishing in years!
