Sam has a chat with Andy Parr of Deeper Sonar & Mistral Baits to discuss all things sonar and other tech within fishing. There's no doubt that using sonars and other technology in fishing is becoming more and more prevalent. Does this take some of the magic out of fishing? Or are we being foolish for not taking advantage of the advances in modern tech? We discuss...
A lot happening on the podcast today... News Product Review Deeper Sonar Pescadamy Awards Gross Bait Contest Update Patreon First up the News, you will hear lots of background noise in this because it was recorded in a coffee shop... so fun How about a product Review I was sent a Deeper Sonar www.deeper.com to test out and here is what it is and what I think. First a big thanks to deeper for sending it. Now a description Troll, map, scan and catch with the Deeper Smart Sonar PRO, then use it as an ice flasher in winter. This versatile, powerful fish finder scans down to 260 ft / 80 m, using its rock solid Wi-Fi connection to send detailed sonar data direct to your smartphone or tablet. Mark fish, locate structure and features, map out any water from your kayak or boat, and start fishing smarter with the Deeper PRO. SO Here is what you get, a cool looking black ball... and a few cables for charging... It charges up quickly and is ready to go. You will need to download the free deeper app for your smartphone. I was using it on an iPhone 6. Full disclosure. I got this in the beginning of the summer, but Rich Collins our Fly Fishing correspondent got one last winter, so I have used it before. Let’s talk about first impressions in open water. As soon as I linked it to my phone and tossed it in the water it started working. I was super impressed with how easy the screen was to read and I actually found it easier to use than the super expensive lowrance system I have on my pontoon boat. So that’s a total win. I was able to see structure, mark fish and easily figure out how to catch fish. So pretty great. I know a lot of guys who use these in their kayaks and love it. Last year on the ice was the first time I really used this.. And it has flasher setting so it’s great for vertical jigging. Works well and eliminates the need for a super expensive flasher. Not bad for something that retails for around $200 We caught a lot of fish using it. Now the downside... and this is not the fault of deeper. Iphones hate the cold. So you have a very limited window of fishing when it’s extremely cold out. Iphones just shut down. So use them on warmer days, inside your ice shack or have your phone plugged into external power while running this. Another trick you could try is sticking hand warmer packs to the back of your phone case. I have not tried this on an android device and would be interesting in hearing other’s feedback. Overall I like the deeper sonar and think it’s a cool gadget for the money especially great for kayak anglers and ice fishers.

On my podcast, I enjoy talking to a wide range of eclectic guests across multiple industries that all share the similar traits. Even areas that people wouldn't traditionally associate with technology are going through a digital transformation of sorts. Deeper, UAB is a Lithuanian startup that designs, develops and produces smart electronic devices for sports and outdoor activities. Its smart products are now sold in over 50 countries worldwide. The extended product line is delivering a collection of innovative technologies, including extended casting distance and increased depth range, internal GPS receiver, and other valuable data points, turning anglers smartphones or tablets into advanced sonar system. But, can technology really transform the ancient art of fishing? Deeper’s first product, a smart wireless sonar for anglers, revolutionized fishing, receiving numerous awards and widespread praise from the angling community. In 2016, the Deeper Smart Sonar Pro + won the Innovation Award for best Wireless Handset Accessory at the at CES, the world’s biggest consumer electronics trade show in Las Vegas. The Deeper Sonar is a smart tool that connects to your smartphone, bringing 21st-century technology to the ancient art of fishing. It creates a symmetry between modern technology that people are using on a daily basis and leisure time also, adding a new aspect to outdoor pursuits. The Sonar is an incredibly smart piece of kit, small enough to fit in your hand and light enough to be used on a rod. It has also been used by firefighters/police to locate objects such as cars that have been lost below the surfaces of lakes. It is not just a fishing accessory but an important tool allowing anyone to map bodies of water and see below the surface. Deeper’s passion for innovation and commitment to finding the optimum solutions for its customers led to it receiving the award for Lithuania’s Most Successful High-Tech Company from the country’s President. As someone that is passionate about sharing tech stories from all over the world, I invited Nazim Tchagapsov from Deeper onto the podcast to learn more about their story.
