So I have been using my Deeper fish finder from the bank. I love it. It has really changed the way I view some of the places I have taken it already. The depths are way different than I thought in a few areas and it also helped me avoid wasting time in areas not holding any fish.
It reads the water temperature and I took it out this past Saturday and found an area of the reservoir that was 5 degrees warmer than off the damn where I started and didn't see much. This told me right away this might be where the crappie are hanging out and sure enough I found a hole that was about three feet deeper in a small spot and the fish were in that area. We didn't catch a ton but we ended with 8 good keepers and a few non keepers and the usual misses. It was great knowing the depth to concentrate fishing at so you aren't just guessing.
It also helped because when I threw it 10 yards either direction no fish were showing up on the finder. If I didn't have it we surely would have spent more time in a wider area with no idea what was going on or why fish weren't nearby. We could focus on the one area with the knowledge of why that area was the spot holding fish.
