Getting The Basics With The Garmin Fishfinder 140

It is good to have a choice in fish finders. But it can also be confusing and a bit overwhelming. You may not need the highly sophisticated model and certainly not need the price tag.

But you do need a dependable fish finder that is not going to break the budget but still gives you the basic amenities. The fish finder you may need to check into purchasing is the Garmin Fishfinder 140. It does not chart your location or give you a wide sonar range but it also does not cost thousands of dollars.

Garmin is one of the leading names in GPS equipment. They have many fine products and the Garmin Fishfinder 140 is one of them. As far as fish finders go though, it is quite basic. You can get a digital readout of the depth of the water and also see what fish come into range.

There is even an alarm setting so you can preset the fish finder to only alert you to fish of a certain size. You can also see the bottom terrain in either a narrow or wide view for better coverage.

The real problem with the Garmin Fishfinder 140 is the sales tactic. Sure you can buy it for $100.00 but you have to pay extra for the mounting hardware and screen cover. That is just poor marketing on Garmin's behalf.

Granted those extras only tack on an additional $50.00 but it is still the principle of the matter. Trying to up-sell accessories that are actually necessities is a shoddy sales tactic.

Easy To Read The Lowrance X96 Fishfinder

If you are a hobbyist of fishing, then you know that besides your rod and reel the next piece of equipment that is almost as essential to have is a fish finder. But with so many fish finders on the market how do you narrow down your choice?

There are hundreds to choose from so you need to take a look at the technical specifications first to see what meets your needs and what does not. One fish finder you may want to take a look at is the new Lowrance X96 Fishfinder.

One of the most important factors in deciding upon a fish finder is to find out the field of sonar it operates within. There are some on the market that can give you 180 degree range. Granted, the Lowrance X96 Fishfinder does not have that kind of range but it does compensate for it in other area.

With a 60 degree view of the water, along with notification of the temperature of the water and the fact that it has a 16-level gray-scale definition, it does make it highly competitive. Plus the screen measures 5" diagonally, which is easy to read.

The Lowrance X96 Fishfinder is not the cheapest fish finder on the market nor is it the most expensive one. You can easily find it for $199.00 at Bass Pro Shops.

That is a very reasonable price considering that it is so easy to use. Yes, you could go with a cheaper model but it may not fit your needs in the same way this one does.

Our Symbiotic Relationship With Rose Plant

You could say that rose plants and the human race have a kind of symbiotic relationship. Certainly, for as long as humans have been around, roses have been there too.

While people learned the nature of the plant, and eventually went on to produce a multitude of different colored and fragrant roses, the flowers themselves have influenced the human psyche and even, at times, human economics and culture.

The world may owe the art of rose cultivation to the ancient Chinese, since the people of that region were cultivating rose plants about five thousand years ago. A millennium or two later, the Egyptians became aware of the rose plant and began to make wreaths that incorporated these flowers.

Remnants of such wreaths have actually been discovered buried in Egyptian tombs. The people of Crete, during the Bronze Age, represented their flower gardening in frescoes on the walls of their homes, and once again roses are featured in the paintings.

People in European nations regard rose plants almost matter-of-factly, as an ordinary fact of life. But for several centuries, the plants seemed to have been forgotten, until the knights of the Crusades brought them back from the lands in which they had fought.

Then the countries of Europe seemed to make up for lost time, adopting roses as the symbols of royal houses, and learning rose gardening with such enthusiasm that occasionally roses functioned as legal currency.

Things have settled down since then, and roses have become as much beloved by ordinary people as they have often been by the aristocracy. As companions through history, human beings and roses have had a long, eventful partnership.
