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!

As a lot of other negative reviews have said, it loses connection a LOT. Like usually every other case. I had to completely shut off wifi and turn it back on for it to reconnect a number of times. Maybe its an issue with the device working with Androids. Very inaccurate, many false positives. For this price point the quality is so poor the only use for it is as a depth finder. Dont buy it for finding fish cause it will mark ones that arent there and not mark the ones that are there. Im returning it. It has a severe inability to read through denser water and it will then err on placing fish in it. The thermocline showed up as a heavy haze even at lower sensitivity. Im told the Pro+ model is a lot better and was shown screen shots from a local guy and it indeed looks better. Im not going to invest $200 in something I may use 2-3 times a year. But this one, avoid it unless you just want it to just show you depth. I tried reeling it very very slow and also fast and everyone in between. I took it to a pond that was 10 feet deep and fully known to not have fish, and it shows quite a few fish, large ones even. I could cast it about 35 feet with a 7.5 foot medium-light ugly stick using 15# braided line.
