The Best Fishfinder For Any Angler

I frequently go fly fishing with my sage vi2 and I can confidently say that if I find the fish that I will catch them. Fishing fish is often the problem.

Every angler is interested in finding that advantage that will produce more fish more consistently. Anglers rely on the ability to locate fish according to depth, water temperature, and structure. The Humminbird 997 si fishfinder unit can help with all three.

The Humminbird 997si comes with 2d sonar, GPS, and the ever-emerging side-image scan. The side image scan feature is the 'secret weapon' for any angle. Using ultrasound techonolgy, the 997si shows picture images of bottom structure and contours. With the added GPS feature, it becomes simple to pinpoint and save waypoints of exact locations of brush piles, rock piles, and underwater contours. These features allow anglers the ability to pinpoint specific structure that might be holding fish. Again, the GPS capability allows anglers to return to these spots over and over.

The side image scan will also show schools of baitfish (a must for bass fisherman) and will even locate game fish around cover or on bottom (great for those crappie and catfish folks).

The unit comes in three different sizes. The 997si model boasts a 8' display screen while the 1197 and 798 are 10.4' and 5' respectively. Each unit comes with the option of buying pre-loaded Navionics maps that show lake contours from hundreds of bodies of water across the United States.

This unit has revolutionized tournament and recreational fishing. Half the battle in fishing is finding the fish, and this unit helps tremendously. Any angler that is looking for an 'edge' or 'secret weapon' cannot go wrong with buying a Humminbird 997si unit.
