Location: Syracuse, Indiana | This is intended as a corrollary to the thread dealing with water temperstures. I have two surface temperature gauges in my boat. One is a Lowrance in-dash unit, the other is a part of my Eagle depthfinder. Generally speaking, the Eagle reads 1-1.5 degrees cooler than the Lowrance. I recently compared my readings to those of another fisherman, and discovered that his read about 5 degrees cooler than mine. Over the weekend, I again compared my readings with yet another fisherman, and found his to read about 10 degrees cooler than mine.
With all the discussion about water temperatures and the effect on muskies, I don't want to be in a position to cause undue harm to the fish nor do I want to miss out on fishing opportunities. Any ideas for accurate calibration of individual units? |
