MOFishwater Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Just curious if anyone else has one of these watches? My wife gave me the hunting one for Xmas and I just exchanged it for the fishing version (basically the same thing, different look). Basically, you can enter your longitude/latitude and it will give you the "best" fishing times for that day (or any day you want to check in the future), it shows the moon phase, essentially the "Solunar Tables" info that you find in all of the hunting and fishing magazines. Also lists sunrise and sunset ti me for your specific coordinates. Seems like a pretty cool device, it will alert you when the peak times have arrived. I have always been interested in that info when I'm on the water, never seem to check that out before I go out and it makes me curious when I see deer moving or the fish seem to start biting.... I was just hoping to double check some things with someone who's got one and has it set up correctly. I think I'm good to go but never hurts to check:)

MOFishwater Posted January 15, 2008 Author Posted January 15, 2008 the hunting one had a thermometer, there's also one w/ a compass and altimiter. Its a start I guess:)
flyfshn Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Don't have one, but am curious. Which model# do you have? Fish On! Mike Utt “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.

MOFishwater Posted January 15, 2008 Author Posted January 15, 2008 Here's the model I have, picked it up at Bass Pro (they are cheaper elsewhere, FYI, just do a google search, but I already had one from Bass Pro to return, so I didnt care about the extra $10). http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s...t=SearchResults They have fancier models with tide flow,temperature etc. More info than I care to have access to actually. I just always speculate about the feeding cycles when me and the wife are driving and now I'll have access to them. Some people put a lot of faith into them, so I thought it would be nice to try and see if I feel the same way. I tried out the hunting one for a few days but wasnt entirely impressed with the thermometer feature, and it was kind of complicated and not as user friendly as the fishing one. So far its been pretty acurate on the sunrise/sunset data, but I think I need to dial it in a bit more, I think my latitude/longitude is a tad off. Seems to differ by about 5mins, which isnt too bad I guess.
