[April 20, 2004]Basic Elements: Bottom Line Tournament 5100Walleye anglers are hardcore about their fishfinders. They don't care about color, massive output power, or fancy software. They just want razor-sharp detail, a big screen for split views, and easy manual adjustments-features that excite serious coastal anglers, too. Bottom Line clearly listened to these folks and has introduced its Tournament 5100.

[January 1, 2004]Zooming In: Raymarine DSM250 and L770DIf you want sharp photographs, you focus your camera tightly on your subject. Likewise, if you want sharp sonar images, check out the Raymarine DSM250 High Definition Fish Imaging sounder module and the L770D, a 7" color echosounder. This digital system's ability to separate closely spaced fish targets is amazing.

[December 1, 2003]Miracle Machine: Simrad CA44Here's an astonishing real-world, no BS fact: Running at 25 mph in 2,000 feet of water, the Simrad CA44 combination unit on Boating's Albemarle 268 project boat held a solid bottom reading. What's more, in 750 feet of water, target separation was so good I spotted 10-pound tilefish lurking near my baits, before hooking them. Impressive? The CA44 had the best deep-water fishfinder performance I've experienced-ever.
