Question

I want to buy a gps for fishing something to find the hot spots and something to get me back when I'm out in the water. All I can find is ones for the car with st names in them, I just want one for fishing HELP please.

Answer 1

I'm a big fisherman myself. I like to go catfishing the most.When i go its at about 11:30 or so. I had a problem in finding my hooks at night so i found a gps at bass pro shops for $100. it is called a i finder go2. Its red and its waterproof.i dont even use a spotlight anymore because it gets me so close. then i set it to find home and it gives me my trail back to the house.boating is all i use it for and its perfect.

Answer 2

The link just a popular store. I have found cheaper browsing. Type; "Marine GPS" without the quotes.

Answer 3

They have hand held gps units. One of them the arrow on the unit just points towards your destination.

Answer 4

Just grab a hand-held GPS of eBay.com. I use a hand-held Garmin myself and it's great.  I can put up on the boat when I need it, then I can take it off and use it when I go tramping.

Answer 5

Garmin, RayMarine, Northstar, Furuno. Go to a marine supply or marine electronics dealer.

Answer 7

i use a garmin. ive tried many, but garmin has always been the best i found for reliability and features.

i got mine from a boat show. thats the best place. as often they are set up on display and you can playw ith them, and usually get a good show deal.
