Marine Electronics in Fishing(1000+)

Marine Electronics

With GPS combo units, marine stereos, VHF radios and more, Walmart has the marine electronics you need for a successful fishing trip.

In most cases, the most important marine electronics for sport fishing are a fish finder and a VHF radio. fish finders use sonar to note fish locations, time, temperature, speed, depth, distance, structures and productive way points. Fishfinder GPS combos come preloaded with information about rivers, lakes and coastal areas in the United States. Most GPS units have a depth sounder as well as a chartplotter, which shows your location superimposed over a map. (You can also buy depth sounders and chartplotters separately.) Some GPS fish finders indicate thermoclines, spots where cooler water meets warmer water, under which there are deeper, colder pockets where some types of fish are more comfortable.

VHF (very high frequency) radios are two-way radios that allow you to communicate in emergencies. You'll find both fixed-mount and handheld models. Handheld VHF radios offer a bit more mobility, but they have short antennas and lower power, which limits their range to about five miles. Fixed-mount VHF radios can have a range of about 20 - 25 miles, depending on the antenna height.
