Review on Portable WiFi Fish Finder with GPS for Kayaks, Boats, and Ice Fishing - Deeper PRO+ Smart Sonar for Deeper Insights by Wade Brooks

What every coastal fisherman dreams of since childhood and tries to imagine what the bottom looks like. ATTENTION when casting! Do not throw it into shallow water for long distances! For example, don't throw it from a long distance and aim close to the edge of the island or the opposite bank of the creek! Even though you know you can do it however you want because you've been casting for 40 years. Think about it first! This can be shallow submerged rocks, logs or rock fill. Imagine my surprise as I bombed it 40 yards onto the island, saw it hit the water and then bounced off the submerged rock 10 feet into the air. It stuck together, but never worked again after that - no electronic sensor withstood such treatment. Learn from my first day and use this accident for a long time for the great utility tool it is. "You pay your money and take a risk," as the old saying goes. It's up to you to watch where you drop it. (I went ahead and bought another). Throwing down and then retrieving in shallow water - I gave 4 stars because of that tough lesson, even though it was my stupid mistake. I'll be fishing with it for a while and then post what I think of its performance but so far it's meeting my expectations. So, I've been using it for about a month now and I have to say it has greatly improved my coastal fishing game. a little. First, it's helped me crack the winter code at my local lake on where the fish are and what they're doing. I still haven't found the big bass that's out there, but that's probably because it hangs so far down the depths that I can't get to with Deeper. But I discovered that this lake is FULL of active crappie! Over the summer I accidentally caught some small crappies while fishing for bass and had no idea they were present in the numbers Deeper showed. It's like, hey, I see an active fish on the Deeper that doesn't look too big and is over 10 feet deep - what could that be? So I built a slide bobber rig with some crappie rigs on top, set it to the depth Deeper was showing fish at and caught over 30 crappies in a few hours on a morning fishing trip on February 17th. Also, Deeper has shown that smaller largemouth bass will always be around these schools of maroons and I caught half a dozen of them on jigs as part of this count. I would just toss the deeper one out and leave it where the swarms of trash were moving. When the fish signal went off, I threw the jig into the Deeper and eagerly awaited the bite, which always came within a few seconds. Incidentally, my Deeper is tied to a heavy 6-6 spin rig (which I usually use for my big swimbaits) on a 50lb braid and can cast 40-50 yards with it. Now that I have mapped almost everything that can be cast, I have a good idea of the depth and features of my local lake's structure. Not only did I look at features that I previously knew were there, but I also found a few that I didn't know existed! I've also used this knowledge to my advantage, catching some fish in places I hadn't previously considered trying these newly found structures. Also, knowing where there are fish and where not is very cool. What a nice feeling it is when Deeper marks a fish, then throws a lure at it and catches the fish you just drew on the map! And finally, coup, I caught my personal best crappie, 2 lb 9 oz 16 3/4 inches! I didn't have a deeper in the water at the time, but I used it to find a spot where crappies hang out. In summary, Deeper has allowed me to enjoy fishing in a season when I don't normally even cast line, has helped me understand what is going on at my local lake this winter and has helped me has to achieve a personal best. I am changing my rating to 5 stars.
