Technological Advances and Applications in Fishing

Technology has revolutionized our world and has been applied to almost every aspect of our lives, from work, to our personal lives, and even to our hobbies.  Last week we discussed how technology can improve your golf game.  This week, we will discuss technological advancements in another of our favorite hobbies: fishing.

The days of guessing where the fish might be and moving your boat blindly from location to location hoping to find them are over.  Thanks to GPS, sonar, ultrasound, and underwater cameras, you never have to worry about getting lost in the water or not knowing where the fish are again.  This is incredibly useful if you are looking to save time and increase efficiency.  You can know exactly where you are, how deep the water is there, what underwater structures are there, what type of fish are where, and how far down they are.  Since normally around 90% of the fish are only in about 10% of the area of the water, this technology can make all the difference between bringing in a full load of good, big fish and spending hours on the water and coming back without even a nibble.

These technologies also increase the ease and ability to keep track of hot spots where fish are commonly found, to maintain data and trip logs, to keep an eye on prime weather conditions for catching different types of fish, and knowing exactly how far down in the water to set your line for optimal chances of catching exactly the size and type of fish you want to, even when the water is too murky to be able to see anything from the surface.

We have now reached the point that technology advances and becomes affordable so quickly that even the occasional fisherman can get in on the action and make the best use of their time on the water.
