How To Catch More Fish With Hawkeye® Fish Finders

Adjust the Sensitivity:
There are 5 user selectable sensitivity settings to choose from. It greatly depends on the clarity and/or depth of the water. Very clear water allows for a moderate sensitivity setting. Conversely, dirty water requires a higher sensitivity setting to target detail but will increase the irritating false readings. Targeting deep water fish generally requires greater sensitivity, especially in stained or dirty water. Salt and brackish water also require a comparatively higher sensitivity setting. While this analysis may seem confusing, the concept is simple. As the unit's sensitivity is elevated, a broader view and smaller details show on the screen. But, with a broader and stronger view comes more clutter and debris. The clearer the water, the less sensitivity needed to get accurate details and vice-versa.

Use the Fish Alarm:
You can set the FishTrax™ 1 to sound an audible alarm when a group of fish are detected. Turn it on, and when a fish passes under the sonar sensor, an audible alarm will sound. You can then use the fish depth scale to drop your bait to a depth that will get it in front of the fish. Leave the alarm on if you are using a crank bait so that you do not have to steadily watch for fish on the screen. If you hear the alarm, gently toss your bait at least 20' beyond the sonar sensor, allow the bait to drop to the depth of the fish alarm, and retrieve as recommended for the targeted species.

Maximize Side-Scanning
Here are some ideas for maximizing the usefulness of the Side Scan Adapter: Attach it to a dock piling and scan sideways for fish swimming by. Attach it to a boat, kayak, or canoe hull and slow troll for fish, all the while keeping a look out for fish behind or in front of you. Attach it to a broom stick handle and search for the best fishing location. Attach it to a broom stick and seek out the fish hiding away from your fishing hole while ice fishing.

Broom Stick Side-Scanning
By attaching the optional Side-Scan Adapter to an ordinary broom stick or paint roller handle purchased from a local hardware store, you can scan for fish suspended in the water column within 240' (75M) of your location. Attach the sensor to a handle, lower the sensor into the water, and slowly move the sensor in a manner that will allow the signal to search the desired location (a sweeping motion similar to using a flashlight is most effective). Keep in mind the sonar signal is emitted from the base of the sensor. Scan down, sideways, or any combination of the two. Remember, to get depth and bottom contour and composition readings you will have to aim the signal at a solid object within 240' (75M), however FISH readings will be accurate, even if the depth reading is "---"

Overloaded with features such as weed and rock indicators, which can help indicate bottom ingredients up to 240 feet. The sound alarm signal of the fish indicates the presence of the fish, thereby allowing...
