fish finders

[bassturd]

Is there a fish finder that is better for a float tube? and do they work for all types of fish?

[cool]Hey, BT, sounds like you're gettin' the fever. If you will send me a Private Message, with your email address, I can send you some different writeups that will help bring you along faster.

Also, I don't know if everyone is aware of it or not, but when the messages disappear of this page, they are not lost. Look for the numbers at the bottom left of the page. Each number you click, brings up another page, so you can go back and read through the past posts and subjects.

To save our new kid some heavy reading, I'll post a couple of links to some discussion we had on fishfinders for float tubes a while back. In short, I have tried a lot of them, and I pretty much stick with the low end Eagle products, although JapanRon thinks highly of the better ones in the Bottomline Fishing Buddy line.

[cool]Ho Ho Ho. Your pic didn't post, but when I clicked on the box, I was taken to your website and found a pic called "Idaho Fish Finder". You tryin' to make fun of us Idaho guys?

Funny pic. Don't know as I'd wanna try it myself...especially in waters that had piranhas or sharks. Then again, might be a good way to get rid of a couple of kids...or an unfavorite fishing buddy.

PS, if anyone else has trouble bringing up the pic, I have included it as an attachment on this reply.

[cool]There are a lot of good things about the BFT website, but there are a few "hinky" little things that we must endure from time to time.

I don't know if there is a specific answer to the problem, but there seems to be differences in the type of web browsers you use, the speed and capacity of either/or your computer or your ISP...and sometimes just when BFT is experiencing a lot of traffic and bogs down. The latter problem happens a lot at peak times. I have a free BFT website, for uploading my own pics, and there are times when I can't even access it during heavy traffic times.

No offense on the Idaho thing. I don't take myself too seriously, and I have plenty of good "Idaho spud" jokes, myself. Thanks for sharing the pic.
