Do fish finders actually help catch more fish?

Absolutely. Finding structure, baitfish, and the right depth is 80% of fishing success. A fish finder eliminates guesswork and puts you on productive water faster.

Can I use a fish finder from shore?

Castable units like the Garmin STRIKER Cast are designed for shore fishing. Mounted units require a boat or kayak for the transducer to work properly.
