    I got one for Christmas a few years ago and used it for the first time yesterday on my kayak. It is a handy little device. Everytime I saw a school of fish on the screen I did get some hits. For $40 it's really not bad.

    I’ve had one for about 4 years now, and they do work pretty well, I’ve caught a lot of fish thru the ice and it’s pretty accurate

    good video ---this unit does not have temp; I just received my unit today. I am only interested in the temp and depth---I am using my 10 ft. Pelican boat to do nothing but fly fish with surface poppers. I will probably send this one back and get the unit that has the depth----thanks for sharing

    I just bought this unit yesterday and received it in the mail. I'm very confused on 1. Reading the boxes on the right, figuring out the depth ( in using ft vs m) and 2. I need a visual of how to place it in the water correctly. I'm a visual learner and reading the book totally confused me. It said basically 8 inches from the float, then under hand toys it out... im confused on the bracket thingy that mounts to the top... when and how do I use that and how do I make the cable float so it don't get stuck down below? Do you have a video to demonstrate this?

    • @WyomingIceHole
      @WyomingIceHole  12 дней назад +1

      I’ll try:
      1. The book tells you how to change to feet, I think my video here does as well. In reading it. It measures the depth from the bottom of the transducer to the floor of the body of water.
      2. I can’t give you a visual, but you have the float thing, put the transducer line through it, use the little plastic caps to keep it at the depth below the float you want. And then toss er’ in!

    I see you have hole in ice where you try to find fish. Have you tested if it works through the ice? I'm just interested and would drill the hole where fishes are. I have a drill and nearly all other ice fishing stuff and similar fish finder is coming hopefully soon.

    • @WyomingIceHole
      @WyomingIceHole  3 года назад +3

      Yes I have used it like that. Just wet the ducer and stick it to the ice... as long as the ice is smooth and relatively clear it works.... does not work if ice has a crust on it

    When the fish appear on the screen is it under the transducer?

    • @WyomingIceHole
      @WyomingIceHole  Год назад +2

      In basic terms yes, really it means that “something” moved between the transducer and the floor of the body of water. From the base of the transducer, it emits a cone of sound waves, so “under” is relative to the distance between the transducer and a 40 degree cone to the bottom

    • @WyomingIceHole

      Not unless it is a big jig/ minnow... and no, it basically is limited to “there is a fish, down there, about this depth, somewhere within the cone

    how far under the float do you have your transducer

    • @WyomingIceHole
      @WyomingIceHole  2 года назад +2

      However deep the ice hole is, so that the transducer is at least even with the bottom of the hole

    • @leeroberts45
      @leeroberts45 8 месяцев назад

      Instructions say to have it about 8 inches or more below the float, I’ve had one for about 4 years and it works decent for what it is

    • @WyomingIceHole
      @WyomingIceHole  8 месяцев назад

      I believe that is worded (poorly) that way in reference to using it off a kayak or something along those lines. If you are fishing 4’ of water, dropping the ducer 8” restricts greatly your coverage.

    • @WyomingIceHole
      @WyomingIceHole  2 года назад +3

      So tie on something thick like a big rap. Make sure there are no marks under you and drop the big bait. If it sets it off, turn up the sensitivity until it doesn’t. Then you will know every thing that sets it off is bigger/denser than that rap was.
