Often when you're starting out with new fishfinding Gear for a Boat, you'll have a lot of questions about how things work and how to get the best results out of your equipment.

'Can a Fish hear your Fish Finder', for example?

'How to use an Echo Sounder/ Fish Finder' answers this question and many others.

Author John Adams is a former professional fisherman who started out as a "deckie" and later worked as skipper.

In May 2009, he also started the Freemantle Boat School in Western Australia with the aim of providing a Boat safety Course for recreational boaters.

So he definitely knows his stuff – and uses this experience to de-mystify all the jargon.

Wonderful colour and hi-res black and white prints show what to expect and what to do to get the kind of results that you want – with over 130 diagrams, screen captures and photos.

Chapters include:

• * Understanding Echo Sounding
• * Detection of Fish
• * DownScan Sonar
• * SideScan Sonar
• * Interpreting Acoustic Images

Paperback, 123 pages.

Book available now, and makes a great present with Christmas coming up.
