With a smartphone you can easily search for a seafood restaurant, or you could use it to go directly to the source. While we’ve seen gizmos such as the Magellan eXplorist line of GPS devices that now include fishing hotspots map, once there you still need to see if the fish are actually there to bite.
For that the Deeper FishFinder might just do the trick. It is a sonar-enable waterproof ball that won’t sink but it will sync with the smartphone. The Bluetooth-enabled device can scan the water and send location information directly to an iOS or Android phone or tablet. It shows the approximate location of fish with a depth chart as well so you can cast off in just the right spot.

The Deeper FishFinder can probe to 120 feet under the water and has a range of 150 feet. It can be tethered to the boat with a fishing line and then just tossed in the water. When you reel in the big one it can be used to post photos to Twitter and Facebook – proving the big one didn’t get away!
The makers of the device are raising funds on Indiegogo at present.
