How important is a fish finder?

[boatnik13]

First > Its just part of sales to say the word "FISHFINDER" for its really just a "DEPTHFINDER". No matter how many bells and whistles they sell you . its still a depthfinder and it started out as a flasher unit and then they made a BK/W picture (pixels) and that lead to wide screen and now color. It still shows the basics The bottom and its density and anything in between the bottom and the transducer and that may or mat not be a fish yet the depthfinder (fishfinder ) can't determin that so that leaves the experienced fishermen to figure it out.
