Find and Catch Those Pesky Fish with a Garmin 240 Fish Finder
Garmin 240 Fish Finder Depthfinder with Transducer - a review
The lakes that I normally fish are deep and quite rocky, and I
have been delighted with the performance of the Garmin 240 Fish
Finder, which gives a clear picture of what lies below. The
image of the bottom shows great detail, and if it is showing
fish presence then you can guarantee they will be there. It does
a good job of indicating non-fishlines as well. It is at its
best when performing in deep water, but perhaps isn't as
impressive in shallow water.
The Depth Control feature works well in continuing to monitor
changes in water depth automatically while the Whiteline feature
determins bottom hardness well. The screen is easy to read, even
in the dark when the backlight comes into its own. You can see
the controls easily.
The Garmin 240 Fish Finder is packed full of features for less
money than my old Lowrance, while the features are easily
compatible."
Features
The 240-by-240 pixel high-definition display gives you a clear
picture of fish, thermoclines, structure and bottom surface. By
using various shades of gray, the Fishfinder 240 paints a
beautiful picture, leaving little to interpretation.
Operational features include a unique control bar that
identifies the most commonly used fishing settings. So without
hunting through complicated menus, you can quickly configure and
save the settings you want. As lake conditions change, you can
fine- tune your Fishfinder 240 on the fly.
Garmin's engineering edge includes See-ThruTM technology, a
Garmin exclusive. This allows the Garmin 240 Fish Finder to hear
both weak and strong signals simultaneously so you to identify
fish returns under the toughest conditions: suspended in
thermoclines or even hiding near structure.
Another exclusive feature is Depth Controlled Gain (DCGTM),
which automatically adjusts fishfinder sensitivity according to
depth, not echo intensity like other fishfinders. The result is
a much more detailed and accurate picture of bottom structure.
And we've often heard stories about folks who have found a great
fishing spot one day, only to be unable to find it again the
next day. With the Garmin 240 Fish Finder that's never a problem
again.
