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

This sonar works fine. I was surprised to see how shallow the one pond I was fishing was. And I was surprised to see that the other smaller pond was much deeper. The graphics are easy to read, algae and bottom contours are visible. Didn't get a chance to see the underwater structure like an old dock or tree trunks etc. The fish are shown in a different color making them easy to spot on the map among the seaweed. I have found that reading sonar offers many opportunities such as: B. the ability to determine soil type, thermocline, fish, algae types, etc. The graph provides enough data to give a lot of information about the bottom of the lake and the location of the fish. There was one big problem, I threw the nylon line sonar on a windy day. Some time after the sonar was pulled out, the cable to the sonar attachment point was unscrewed. I tugged on the line only to find a steel anchor point at the end of the line. Sonar was still in the water. It was too far to reach with a stick, and according to the sonar map, the water was about 5.5 feet deep, so too far to even think of walking there. Luckily the pond was small and it was very windy. I waited about half an hour for the sonar to reach the other side of the pond and was able to find it. I checked the attachment point after attaching the line to it. I think it unscrewed a bit when dealing with the wind and unscrewed the rest of the way in the water due to the wind. I am very glad that I learned this lesson in a small pond. Now I'm going to use Loctite on the screw. Really need a better way for these connection points, a simple screw won't work. While waiting for the sonar to reach the opposite side of the pond, I got a good map of the lake bottom. All this time, even when I went around the reservoir to the opposite side, I did not lose the connection to the WiFi. I thought I would because the sonar was at it's limit walking around the pond. It was very difficult for me to see the sonar in the water from the other side. The sonar is black, the water is also dark. At first I thought he had washed ashore and in the weeds somewhere, but I looked at the sonar chart and he still showed 8 feet of water so I knew he hadn't gotten there yet. After looking around for a while I noticed this. It would be better if the top of this sonar was a lighter color. In all these adventures, the battery never ran out. One thing I noticed is that sinking line is not the best way to use this sonar. I know a lot of people use braid, but I've found that sinking line gets stuck in the weeds and prevents the sonar from surfacing with the line attached. In my opinion it would be much better to use a line that floats like mono or a braided line that doesn't sink. This way you can toss this thing in the water without worrying about the line snagging on the bottom. The only problem is that you need a large spool for heavy monofilament, but that would be more useful.
