No, depth finders only measure the depth of the water, while fish finders also measure the presence of fish in the water.
Yes, a fish finder can detect sharks. However, they will not always be accurately identified as sharks. Sometimes, they may be identified as large fish or as something else entirely.
A depth sounder is an electronic device that uses sonar to determine the depth of water. It works by sending out a sound wave that reflects off the bottom of the body of water. The depth sounder then measures the time it takes for the sound wave to return and uses that information to calculate the depth. A fish finder is a type of depth sounder that is designed to locate fish. It works by sending out a sound wave that travels through the water and is reflected off of fish. The fish finder then measures the time it takes for the sound wave to
Yes, you can use a fish finder in shallow water. However, you may not be able to see the fish as well as you would in deeper water. The fish finder will work by sending out sound waves that will bounce off of the fish. The waves will then be sent back to the fish finder and will be displayed on the screen. The fish finder will also show you the bottom of the body of water that you are in.

For anyone looking for a nice cover for your Humminbird, this is the best option. absolutely well fits. When you need to use your sonar, however, gently remove it from your Humminbird; otherwise, you risk unintentionally pulling your Humminbird out of your console. Fortunately, when this occurred to me, I didn't unhook anything. I could also firmly reinstall my Humminbird in the console with ease. You can be sure that when you are towing your boat on a trailer, this cover won't blow off.

I would strongly recommend this fish finder and gps device to boats who cruise. On a recent 10-mile canoe excursion, I used it for the first time, and I was really pleased with how well it worked. I was able to use a paper map to draw my course and obtain the coordinates for each leg. The next day, the night before establishing a route, I added all the waypoint coordinates to the unit.The gps device tracked my location and estimated travel times to the next waypoint and the destination the next day while I was on the water. Additionally, it provided us with our speed, which is quite helpful for organizing our travels.I have two boats that I use: a canoe and a row boat for fishing. In the row boat, I installed the transducer on the electric motor propeller. In the canoe, I used a foam mounting piece to mount the transducer in the hull. The fish finder performed well in both situations, and I appreciate that I can switch out the device between the two. To make the unit swappable between the boats, I use velcro; nevertheless, attaching it permanently would not be difficult at all. The base is lovely and can be turned to face in any direction.We experienced rain during our vacation, but the Garmin performed flawlessly. It fared remarkably well.This is certainly overkill if all you need is a fish finder for nearby lakes, you don't go by boat, and you don't need to utilize waypoints. However, if you're looking for an excellent GPS and fish finder in one, I would strongly recommend this product.Just a quick remark on my setup: I constructed a battery box to power my charger, but I'm aware that there are cute little battery boxes already produced that might be more durable and small-footprint than the one I created. You will need to look into your power alternatives and be able to plug the device to any source you decide on. That flexibility is nice.

If you use this in seawater, use caution. After three months of ownership (about eight months), I had to replace the power wire (about 12 or so trips the connection melted). The push connections in the unit's back WILL corrode because they are not watertight. I covered everything with dielectric grease as soon as I installed the unit, and even though I remove it from my kayak, clean it, and put it in a dry area after each trip, I occasionally still need to scrape corrosion off the pins.On the Predator PDL, the transducer is flush mounted. I have no trouble using the device to detect structure or bait at depths up to 120 feet.

Everything you need to install the Garmin Striker Plus 4Cv with Cv20-TM transducer on your boat or trolling motor is included.I chose it for my baby crappie and bass boat, among other things, because of its low profile. (Sportsman by Sundolphin, 8.5) I decided to suspend it from my trolling motor because plastic boats shouldn't have holes drilled into them. Sadly, the transducer was a little bit too long, so I pushed it back up against the trolling motor fin, which caused it to be canted. It's halfway vertical now thanks to some cunning rubber shimming that I did. Whatever. It still functions PERFECTLY.At this moment, I'm not really impressed with the bottom map-making option. The GPS, however, is NEAT for adding waypoints at specific places. It has been on three expeditions so far, and everything is flawless.Since the time of spinning fish flashers, I have been working with depth finders. In fact, savvy users may misinterpret stray flashes as fish. Kind of. I must admit, the technology included in this tiny compact would have cost hundreds more just a few years ago. It's simply incredible!One thing I did notice—and this might just be my brain—is that the screen has "day" and "night" modes. The option for the daylight would seem to be day mode, but it's not. The other day, I could not for the life of me figure out why the screen would not turn on. was hardly visible. I finally selected NIGHT mode out of stress and irritation, and poof...nice bright screen. Everything that is said about looking beautiful in the sun is true.I discover that I typically operate in legacy mode. When something especially fascinating scrolls by, I switch to ClearVu. In ClearVu, fish don't seem nearly as well, but you can see structures underneath much more clearly. It's intriguing. When taken together, the amount of information you can gather from the screen is nearly wicked and dishonest.I recently came across a crappie and quickly dragged my miner over them. Over and over again. That is a superb depth finder's power. Except if you dislike washing fish.A surface water temperature sensor and a battery voltage indicator are also present. Use the signal! You are fully charged at 12.70VPlus. 12.2V makes you 50% charged. You should proceed to the put in at 12V. 25% of you are sucking air in. Time is also kept by the object. Ha! And it is helpful. The GPS speedometer is also fantastic. On a speed run test, I was able to get my Sundolphin back to the takeout at 2.85 mph!I bought it for my toy boat, as I mentioned. You could utilize it up front for your trolling activities on genuine big boy bass boats. One of my favorite toys ever! Take one. You'll be grateful to me!

Excellent fish finder, but the plastic clips used to secure the cords to the transom broke the first time the user removed them. A brand-new plastic one cost 20 dollars, and a metal one cost 30 dollars (plus shipping). It was not covered by the additional Protection Plan that I purchased... If you get this, you might order metal clips to prevent having your fish finder break while you're out fishing because of faulty clips.

Ever since he was a young child trying to visualize what the bottom looked like, every shore fisherman has dreamed for this. USE CAUTION while casting! Avoid throwing it far out into the shallows! Don't, for instance, launch it from a great distance while aiming at the edge of an island or the other bank of a creek! despite the fact that you have been casting for 40 years and are confident you can place it exactly where you want. Consider it first! There can be rip-rap, logs, or shallow submerged rocks. Imagine my shock when I bombed it out 40 yards in the direction of an island, watched it hit the sea, then bounce 10 feet in the air against a submerged rock. No electronic sensor could ever endure that assault, but it managed to hold together. After that, it never again functioned. Utilize the lesson I gained on day one and continue to use this accident-free for a very long time as the fantastic tool it is. As the phrase goes, "You pays yer money and takes yer chances." You must exercise caution when choosing where to throw it. (I actually bought another one.) Toss it into the deep water, then bring it up to the shallows. Despite the fact that it was my own stupid error, I rated it four stars because of that difficult lesson. It is so far living up to my expectations, but I won't post my thoughts on its performance until I've used it for some fishing.Okay, so I've been using it for about a month, and I must say that it has significantly improved my shoreline fishing technique. First of all, it assisted me in cracking the mystery of where and how the fish behaved over the winter on my neighborhood lake. The huge bass are still there, but it's probably because they're holding out so far out in the deeps, where I can't get to them with the Deeper. But I've discovered that there are tons of active crappie in this lake! I had no idea that there were as many crappie in there as the Deeper has revealed because all summer I had only accidentally snagged a few little ones while bass fishing. Hey, I'm seeing some kind of active fish on the Deeper, but they don't seem to be very big, and they're out in the depths of at least 10 feet. What might they be? In order to catch more than 30 crappie in a short period of time on my 17FEB morning session, I created a sliding bobber rig with a few crappie jigs on it set to the depth that the Deeper said the fish were at. Additionally, the Deeper demonstrated that smaller largemouth bass would constantly be near these schools of crappies, and I also caught a half-dozen of them with jigs for this count. As the crappie schools passed through, I would simply throw the deeper out into the open. I would throw the bait out to the deeper area as the fish alarm began to sound and eagerly await the bite, which would always happen quickly. BTW, I can throw my Deeper 40 to 50 yards thanks to the 50lb braid that is tied onto a 6-6 heavy spinning rig, which I often use for my large swimbaits. Now that I've mapped practically all of my local lake's characteristics, I have a fair idea of its depth and structure. I checked over the characteristics that I was already aware of by "feel," and I also discovered a few that I was unaware of! I have also taken advantage of this information and caught several fish on these recently discovered structures in locations I had not previously considered. Knowing where the fish are and where they are not is also quite cool. How satisfying it is to see fish at the Deeper mark, toss lures their way, and catch the ones you just marked on your graph! The icing on the cake was when I caught a crappie that was 2 pounds, 9 ounces, and 16 3/4 inches long! The Deeper was not in the water at the time, but I had previously used it to locate this location where the crappie congregate. In conclusion, the Deeper has helped me catch a personal best, put me on fish, helped me understand what's happening in my local lake this winter, and let me to enjoy fishing at a season when I normally wouldn't even throw a line in. I'm switching to a 5-star rating.

This handheld fish finder is incredible. Why there are so many complaints in the review baffles me. It displays precise fish location and depth information. The measurement can be changed to feet. Just hold down the "Enter" button for three to five seconds until you see the "M" turn into the "FT."It cannot be used in a water bucket or a swimming pool since the transducer cannot operate in such a small area. Sound waves form the basis of sonar technology. The transducer transmits a sound wave signal, and the distance is calculated by timing the interval between the sound wave's transmission and its reflection off an object. The period is too short to measure the data you're interested in if the water space is relatively small. I strongly advise you to try it outside in a lake or other open area.It works excellent for my kayak, where I use it. I enjoy it a lot because I can find fantastic fishing spots thanks to it. I had a great catch today, and I'm quite happy with this little thing.The handheld, however, is not water-resistant. I informed customer support of the problem. Quick and courteous customer assistance is provided. You can get a waterproof bag in this store, and I'll do so later.

Before deciding on this fish detector two years ago, I researched every portable castable fish finder available on the market. I prioritized functionality and price when choosing the ibobber. It delivers on its promise and accurately marks fish, depth, and water temperature. Fish alarm and underwater mapping are two more good features. I've cast with it both from the beach and while pulling my kayak. As I paddle, I'll activate the fish alarm, which will let me know whether I've passed any fish so I won't have to keep looking at it. To help with utilizing the gadget, I wear a waterproof smart phone bag around my neck, which in my opinion is essential. The ibobber can distinguish between fish under 15 inches and fish beyond 15 inches. For nighttime fishing, the led light is a wonderful addition. My friend has the Deeper, and while if the sonar app resembles a more sophisticated sonar map, I'm not sure it's significantly better for the money. He frequently experienced app stalling issues on his Samsung cellphone. I haven't experienced many crashes on the ibobber platform when using an iPhone. Heavier than the ibobber as well as his deeper. In fact, I wouldn't advise casting it without strong braided line. I cast mine out with a dedicated dock devil pole made of heavy braid, leaving it there while I fish from shore with my other rods. In addition, The Deeper requires you to buy a separate cover in order to utilize its LED light for night fishing, which is absurd given how much it already costs. The problem with all of these devices is their battery life. Once completely charged, they do have a lifespan of about eight hours. However, you need to charge it the night before or in the early morning. If you charge either of these a few days before a trip, they will be dead when you arrive. I'm happy with the ibobber overall. No one is perfect yet, including this one. This castable fishing technology is of a new generation, and I'm convinced that it will continue to advance. But what really drew me in to this new gizmo were its pricing and features. Wishing you luck in your endeavors.
No, all depth finders do not need a transducer. A depth finder is an electronic device that uses sonar to determine the depth of water. The depth finder sends out a sound wave that bounces off the bottom of the body of water and then returns to the depth finder. The depth finder then calculates the depth based on the time it took for the sound wave to return. A transducer is not needed for this process.
Yes, a fish finder shows depth. It uses sonar to bounce sound waves off the bottom of the body of water to determine the depth.
No, the transducer does not have to be below the boat. It can be mounted in the hull of the boat, above the waterline.
A transducer is a device that converts one form of energy into another. In this case, it converts electrical energy into sound waves. The transducer needs to be deep enough in the water so that the sound waves it produces can travel through the water and reach the fish. The depth will depend on the type of transducer and the frequency of the sound waves it produces.
Depth finders use sonar to determine the depth of water below a boat. They emit a sound wave and measure the time it takes for the wave to bounce back off the bottom. Most depth finders have a maximum depth reading of 200 feet. Depth finders can last for many years if they are properly cared for. The transducer, which is the part of the depth finder that emits the sound wave, is the most vulnerable to damage. It is important to protect the transducer from impact, as it can easily be damaged if it hits something hard
There are many factors to consider when deciding if down imaging or side imaging is better. One important factor is the depth of the water you are fishing. If you are fishing in shallow water, then down imaging may be the better choice. On the other hand, if you are fishing in deeper water, then side imaging may be the better option. Another factor to consider is the type of fish you are targeting. If you are targeting smaller fish, then down imaging may be the better choice. However, if you are targeting larger fish, then side imaging may be the better option
