Cookie , I mean Santa, got me a Deeper Chirp Castable fish finder. I have been eye balling these little babies all summer, thinking they would sure be nice to read the structure within casting range, from shore. I took it out to Willard mid day today for a trial run. Lots of open water in the North Marina for cast practice. I cast it in a fan pattern and then walked the whole edge of the dock.
My initial thoughts.
Super cool tech for nerds like me
I could get a great image of the bottom as I reeled in and can save it as a map for future reference
I could get water temp ( surface )
Floaters and gunk can get it
to thinking it see fish.
I need to study the settings. See above bullet point
It has a ice fishing mode - will try it this weekend
It did not attract fish - we got skunked, but we were really not fishing, mostly playing with the toy.
A few more tutorial youtube videos to watch and then out to serious business with actual fishing with it.
Here is a link if you are wondering what I am using
