Two New Fishing Tools For My Fishing Boat

2 products serious fisherpeople must have for their boats are a Hummingbird Fish Locator and a Coleman Marine Cooler. This Christmas, I was fortunate enough to have a reason to outfit my fishing yacht with a new Hummingbird Fish Finder and Coleman Marine Cooler.

My normally reliable Garmin fish finder finally kicked it. I relied on it a lot on my angling boat. I require a fish locator to assist in locating fish for my customers. We do a good deal of angling around ocean reefs and I liked using the device since it helped to navigate the reefs, ocean channels, spotting fish, and finding the best schools of fish for my patrons. Certainly, I was upset when the fish finder expired, but it also gave me incentive to purchase a new Hummingbird Fish Locator.

The updated Hummingbird Fish Finders are so sophisticated, they make my old fish locator seem like an antique from the Mezazoic era. The new Hummingbird Fish Locator electronics will make a significant improvement – larger, color screen at 640 x 640 pixels – GPS chart plotter – 1200 foot depth capability – and custom viewing capabilities make some of the sophisticated Hummingbird Fish Locators a dream.

I resolved to purchase a Hummingbird Fish Locator 596c in high definition. (official part number is 407910-1). This Hummingbird Fish Finder was simple to set up – instructions were not difficult to follow and all of the necessary parts were really shipped with the Hummingbird Fish Locator. I installed it right onto the dashboard next to the skipper’s wheel. This Hummingbird Fish Locator does require 4000 Watts, and operates at 83/200 hHz. Its dimensions are 14.6″ x 7.30″ x 12.40″ and it weighs 3.4 pounds.

The Hummingbird Fish Locator high definition screen operates amazingly, even in brilliant sunshine. I particularly enjoy the color screen too. it is easy to look at and considerably more interesting than the old dual color fish finder I had.

If you decide to buy this Hummingbird Fish Locator, be sure to plan a tuning and tweaking day. It definitely takes some time to implement the needed setting alterations required for optimal results. Additionally, depending on the size of your vessel, you might find that you need a longer transducer cable. Hummingbird Fish Finders are quickly becoming my preferred brand.

The Coleman Marine Ice chest I bought as a Holiday gift myself is the Coleman 150 Quart Heritage XP H2O marine cooler. This marine cooler is designed specifically for boating and fishing. This Coleman marine ice chest will accommodate one hundred fifty cans – offers an anti-microbial lining that inhibits bacterial growth – offers Coleman’s UV Guard protection that helps prevent yellowing – and sports stainless steel hardware. This marine cooler also provides a tray and cutting board, in addition to a locking latch lid.

Like most marine coolers, this Coleman Heritage Marine Ice chest offers excellent cooling facility. Ice endures up to 6 days, which is sufficient since my longest trips only last one to two days. Like other marine coolers, this Coleman marine ice chest offers a threaded drain valve which makes for easy cleaning and draining. Its dimensions are 42.4 inches wide by 19 inches deep by 18.6 inches tall.

Happy Angling Everyone!
