DeeperStart Fish Finder - Portable and Depth Finder for Recreational Fishing from Dock, Shore, Bank or Kayak | Castable Deeper Smart Sonar with Free User Friendly App

Easy to install the app on your phone and use. Easily see where the fish are under the bobber.

The setup is quick and easyFollow every step exactly as the instructions sayand there are no issuesI had excellent results on the first try for an hour with the “deeper start” then the device stopped working and would not connect to wifiThe comprehensive troubleshooting guide helped me find the issue quickly( which turned out to be a phone setting )Give the unit time to connect . It can be a little slow.The graphics are excellent, the schools of salmon were located quicklyHowever, remember that even when you find them they may not be on the bite!😆

I have a local lake that I bank fish and I had no real idea of depth and structure. I decided to give this Deeper START a shot and see what it could do. This device is about idiot proof. The instructions are clear and concise, and it worked immediately with my first cast into the water. I have had no issue with connectivity except under one condition - windy, choppy water. If it is still and just bobbing up and down over the chop you will lose connectivity. When I started reeling it in slowly it maintained connection. As for accuracy, I think the depth readings are vegetation readings are accurate and I use that knowledge to pick lures etc. As for finding fish I think the jury is still out (but i have only used it a handful of times). The device marks fish of course but I have not actually caught anything based on the markings. For the price I think this is a fun gadget to own. I could spend all day just throwing it out and reeling it in just to see what's underwater. For just a simple bank fisherman like me it gets the job done.

First off I've been using the Deeper Pro+ for a couple years now myself. My son has just started to get back into fishing after several years. I wanted to get him a Deeper to help him since he does mostly shore fishing and some kayak fishing. I tried it out before giving it to him and found it anything but a basic entry level unit. Upon opening it is very solid and well built, yet lightweight. It does not open like my Pro + model, however it charges from the outside with an included USB charging cable. It had some features of my Pro + model, was surprised to see the Fish ID, which shows "fish" icons and actual depth of each fish marked. Also has a live readout of actual water depth and a nice chart readout of the lake bottom. This is great for the beginning or casual angler. Having a sonar like the "Boat" guys do from shore is a real plus! The downloadable app also includes a weather screen, to show current and future conditions as well as a solunar calendar and moon phase which I personally find useful. The app also lets you document your catches and photograph your trophy, right from the Deeper app so you can keep a log. All in all very impressed in the performance of such an inexpensive unit.. I know my son will absolutely love this tool in his arsenal. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to get an inexpensive portable sonar, without sacrificing quality. For me, the Deeper "Start" gets an A++. Now that I am done, I guess I have to give it my son!

Purchased June 2018. Used for shoreline Salmon fishing. Using I phone 8+. Has consistent connectivity issues. We have been working with their customer service since last year. They are aware and this year rolled out a new APP which we hoped would solve the issues we are having. It works intermittently and is great when it does. But 5 minutes later it won't work and even though it's connected, there is a black screen - it won't move right to left as it should. We have tried everything they suggested with disconnecting WiFi enable phone settings, updating the APP, deleting APP and reloading, restarting phone, buying the phone holder for the pole so that phone is always at the right angle, standing on our head...you get the point. Now they won't exchange it even though it has a 2 year warranty because we bought it through a 3rd party which I can't tell is a valid vendor anymore because I called the number and it sounds like someones house.Deeper says they are still working on the APP. Right....Not reliable at all for the money. Frustrating, because my husband loved it for the 5 minutes it's worked in the last 2 years. Don't buy until they fix the bugs. Note: Amazon online customer service was no help either. I was asking them to confirm the 3rd party seller and instead they chastised me for wanting to return this outside their 30 day policy window. *Need to add a note that Deeper did take this back after all. They inspected it and it’s on its way back to us so the customer service from their end was impressive. I would buy directly from them in order to avoid the hassle of a 3rd party seller however.
