"Fishermen are looking for every advantage they can get," says Robert Sullivan, a salesman at Larry Smith Electronics in Riviera Beach, Fla. "They are saying...
...boats, temperature gauges screwed into the hull guide anglers to cool underground springs in ponds and lakes where fish like to congregate on hot summer days. Similarly, pH meters dragged at various depths help locate acidity "clines," or layers, where fish are apt to feed. Lake Systems Division's $630 Multi-C-Lector, in addition to measuring temperature and pH, also detects water clarity clines, using an underwater light meter. It then suggests which color lures are most likely to catch a fish...
