![]() As the depth changes, for example if you are reeling in over a drop off, it is important to keep a steady speed. If you start reeling in your sonar and the bottom remains flat on your display, then you know it really is a flat bottom. This means if your device is stationary, the bottom will appear flat on your screen because the sonar is just repeatedly sending the same depth reading. Remember that your sonar is constantly scanning. Reel in steadily: Retrieving your device at a steady, continuous speed is also important. This will result in the depth being shown as deeper than it actually is. For example, if the sonar is tilted to one side, the sonar signal will have to travel further before it hits the bottom. ![]() If this happens, the sonar readings will be less reliable. Reel in slowly: Reeling in too quickly can cause your Deeper to rock from side to side. When reeling in your Deeper Sonar, the most important point to remember is to retrieve it at a slow, steady pace. With medium action rods, cast your Deeper using a side cast technique. With heavy action rods you can cast your Deeper overhead. Rods: Deeper Sonars are suitable for casting with heavy action and medium action rods. Always ensure your line is in good condition - not frayed or worn – before casting out your Deeper Sonar.įor extra safety, we recommend 25 lbs / 11 kg braided line, or even stronger line. Line: All our sonars are tested to cast using line from 6lbs / 2.7kg test monofilament up to 20lbs / 9kg test braided line. Using one of the other attachment points will result in the sonar sitting in the water at an incorrect angle. Attachment points: For shore fishing, make sure you attach your line to the bottom attachment point of the 3 attachment points on your Deeper (this does not apply to the Deeper START, which only has one attachment point). Sensitivity: 70-100%, but can be reduced if the water is murky, or if you're targeting big fishes only.Narrow beams are best-suited for bathymetric mapping. Ⓘ Note: Narrow beams are very sensitive to water disturbances, so you may see visual artifacts if there are a lot of waves. Narrow beams cover a smaller area, so it may be harder to locate the general presence of fish. Narrow or Middle beam (7°/15°/20°) is much more accurate when determining the size of the fish, so if you see a thick arc or line when using this beam - the fish is big.If you are scanning waters shallower than 2-5 meters (7-16 ft), we recommend switching to Narrow beam. Ⓘ Note: Wide beams are not suited for shallow water scanning. Ⓘ Note: We recommend using Mid or Narrow beams for bathymetric mapping. You will not be able to accurately determine the size the fish using Wide beam, but due to a large area covered by the beam, you'll be able to locate the presence of fishes faster (for example, if you're looking for schools of bait fish). Wide beam (47°/55°) is good for quickly scanning larger areas and getting general information on fishes, depth and bottom structure, but the accuracy and detail will be lower.If you are using the CHIRP+, we recommend using High CHIRP or Mid CHIRP for higher accuracy of mapping. If you are using the Deeper PRO+, it is recommended to use Narrow beam (290 kHz) for higher accuracy of the mapping. If you are using a Deeper PRO+ or CHIRP+: enable On-shore GPS Fishing mode:.If you are using a Deeper PRO model – enable Scan only fishing mode:.Make sure that the app is granted access to determine your location, and GPS is enabled on your phone. Then, open the Fish Deeper app and connect to your sonar.If it asks for a password – it’s 12345678 In the list of available Wi-Fi connections, find your Deeper Sonar and connect to it. Go to the Wi-Fi connections (settings) of your smartphone.Put your Deeper Sonar in the water close to the shore, up to 5 meters / 16 feet from your smartphone. ![]() Close it tightly until the “water proof” marks align perfectly. ![]() As soon as it dips, start screwing clockwise. Carefully screw counterclockwise till it dips in ģ. To do so:ġ. Put the cap on the Deeper case by aligning the waterproof marks, but don't screw it just yet Ģ. ‘Water’ and ‘Proof’ marks should align perfectly. If you are using Deeper CHIRP or PRO models, always make sure the top cover of your Deeper is attached properly. Basics for shore fishing with your Deeper
