Since the battery is built in there is not a way to replace it once it dies on the water.

I also had quite a difficult time seeing the display of my phone due to the bright sunlight, even on full brightness it was difficult and my phone battery started to go fast.Īnother concern I had about the unit and I’m sure other people will as well, is the battery life. This was convenient to make sure the unit was adjusted correctly but I also kept slamming into it with my paddle and it would cause disruptions in the reading. One issue I did have was that the only available mounting location on my kayak was the handle right next to where I paddle. The unit also has a max depth of 260ft, which lets you fish all but the deepest lakes and oceans. The user interface has a stellar design and it’s nice to have high quality HD resolution from a phone screen that normally doesn’t come with a fish finder. Battery life, water temperature, depth, and the sonar readings are all the key features on the screen and they work well.

The app is available for both Android and iPhone and that is the only way to control and use the unit. I used it with my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone and had no issues.

The unit was pretty easy to get up and running once the app was installed. It’s about the size of a racquetball and it’s super easy to throw into my milk crate for the kayak. The Deeper fish finder is so portable which is awesome. When I was fishing I didn’t have any disconnects, and it was about 2 inches under the water most of the time while paddling.

One other new change is that the unit now uses wireless now instead of Bluetooth which results in a better connection. What this means is that you can now log your favorite lake and learn the contours and details to make your next fishing trip even better. Bathymetric maps are designed to present accurate, measurable descriptions and visual presentation of the submerged terrain. For those that didn’t know what that means, myself included, a bathymetric maps is the submerged equivalent of an above-water topographic map. However I was able to confirm that it connected to my phone, so this had me itching to get it out on the lake as soon as possible.ĭeeper’s best new feature with this latest release is that it allows gps in the fish finder to create bathymetric maps while being onshore or offshore. Obviously I should have read more of the instructions that explicitly state that it won’t work in a sink. Success, it connected! But still it wasn’t displaying anything. So I immediately filled up the bathroom sink and dropped it in. Obviously I should have read the instructions that say the deeper unit activates only when you put it in liquid. However it wasn’t connecting, so my first thought of course was that it was broken. When I got the Deeper PRO+ in the mail the first thing I did was charge it up then try to connect with my Android phone and see how it worked right away in my home office just as any over-excited fisherman would do.

One of the biggest attractants to this unit in particular is the ease of use and portability that allows you to transfer this between fishing from shore, to a pier, to a kayak. Deep lakes with no visible cover can be very hard to fish without electronics, such as Lake Norman in North Carolina.

I have been interested in portable fish finders ever since I first started kayak fishing.
