GPS technology and fishing
by: Angela Carter
What type of fisherman are you? Are you satisfied go out and drop your
fishing line and be totally unconcerned about if you catch anything or
not? Is the time that you spend with your family, friends or even by
your self enjoying nature what your trip is really all about? If you
don’t caught anything that’s fine-you can always stop at the fish shop
on the way home, but it would be nice if you caught something. Or do
you feel like your trip’s been ruined because you didn’t caught
anything, and go home frustrated. Or is fishing how you make your
living, either by catching fish or taking customers out to fish? If you
take a customer out to do some deep sea fishing, it would be much
better to bring home a happy customer with his catch, who could be
possibly a repeat customer or tells his friends about how great his
trip was bringing you additional work. A frustrated customer will think
twice about using your services again and when planning his next trip,
might go elsewhere and may be steering other potential customers away
from you. What if there was a way to make sure you go where the fish
are? What if there was a way to guarantee that you would catch your
limit, to be able to ensure that your customers will go home happy and
raving about your great service.
With GPS technology it is now possible to go where the fish are and to
remember the spot so you can relocate it. The other good thing about
using a GPS while on the water is safety. You can enter the spot where
you put your boat in the water in the memory of your GPS unit. Most GPS
units hold at least 500 landmarks or areas where you want to get to. If
you run into fog or bad weather you should be able to find your way
back. Also if you stay out longer than expected you can find your way
back in the dark. If you run into an emergency while on the water, you
can call someone and let them know your coordinates, and then they
could find you. If someone falls overboard a GPS unit can pinpoint the
exact area where the incident happened and helping rescue crews with
their rescue. This allows you to enjoy your day and not worry about
getting back to land safely.
A chart plotter GPS with a map chip can give you your position relative
to land features, water depth, and harbor entrances. Using a GPS with a
water depth can allow you to follow the bottom looking for fish. It is
also possible to let others know about a spot that you have found by
using GPS coordinates.
Often people like to fish around a wreck, with a GPS unit you can enter
the location of the wrecks to be able to find them easily. Plus knowing
where a wreck is only part of the scenario, you need to know how deep
that wreck is and if there are any areas you need to avoid. Often a
fishing trip starts out before daylight, with a GPS you can pinpoint
where you are going.
No matter what your intent is when you go fishing. A GPS can enhance that experience.
