Review on Venterior Portable Fish Finder with Wireless Sonar Sensor – Rechargeable, Enhanced Performance Depth Locator with Fish Size, Water Temperature, Bottom Contour & Color LCD Display by Shawn Jacobs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great addition to my fishing gear

Today I used the sonar for the first time. It worked incredibly well. I used it while fishing from a kayak on a freshwater lake here in Florida. I attached the transducer with a carabiner to about 15 feet of 50 pound monofilament test line. I tied him to a duck in a kayak and he follows me. With a slow oar, just right for fishing, the device worked flawlessly. In fact, I had to row pretty fast to break the signal. I had to change the background to white to be able to see the screen in bright sunlight. The white background makes it very eye-catching. I bought a stuff sack with a blue tint for my device. Due to the bluish cast, the screen can hardly be seen with sunglasses. Once I took the sonar out of the dry bag it was very easy to see everything on the screen, even with my sunglasses on. I fished for a while with no luck but after examining the sonar I saw that the fish were shown hanging in the 15 to 17 foot range. The overall depth was 27 to 33 feet. I adjusted the depth I was fishing at and started fishing. I love this fish finder and can't wait to get back on the water.

Pros
  • Note: 1. Hold for 3 seconds to turn on the display. 2. The sensor will turn on automatically when it enters the water. 3. When the sensor is off, the battery indicator on the display will not work properly. The red indicator on the sensor will turn off when fully charged. If you want to check the sensor's battery status on the display, put the sensor in water. It turns on when floating on water. After that, the battery indicator of the sensor is shown correctly on the display.
