iBobber Castable Bluetooth Smart Fish Finder – Carp and Night Fishing

I have had this 4 weeks now and I can say The iBobber is a great little fish finder that you can take anywhere as it fits in your pocket. It is small in size but don’t let that fool you as it holds about 8hrs worth of charge and it will probably outlast your mobile if you have not got a power pack!
The iBobber turns itself on and off when it is in the water so saving power which is a nice feature. I do lots of different types of fishing ‘bit of an allrounder’ – carp, tench, pike, zander, trout, cod and pollock and the iBobber is suited to them all – so long as you have at least 5feet of water to let the sonar work properly you will definitely put more fish on the bank! The depth scale is handy as it shows the depth at which the fish are most comfortable; so you can get a bait or lure down to them. For coarse fishing I use the terrain feature which allows you to map your swim – this is useful for coarse fishing for tench and carp as it shows troughs, bars and likely features a fish is likely to feed from unto 30m from your mobile. The app is easy to instal and has several other features – I like the fish alarm but I feel that could be more useful if I actually used the iBobber as a float -which I don’t want to do at the moment as I don’t want to lose it! The app also shows the water temperature which has influenced where I fish on the lake – especially for trout on big reservoirs as the cooler the water in the summer the more dissolved oxygen- which they like! The fish finder doesn’t just show fish it also shows weed – this can be handy when placing bottom baits for carp as you can find areas where they have been feeding and have reduced the weed down to size. On a recent zander fishing trip to a large reservoir I was able to connect a cord to one of the two anchor points on the iBobber and tow it behind the boat – After motoring around for some time I found fish hanging around the south side off a pumping tower – the fish were tightly grouped around a shoal of smaller bait fish and I could clearly see the depth at which they were feeding 22ft in 25ft of water – so I knew to place my bait within a couple of feet either side of that, which resulted in 3 nice zander – had a great day pleasure fishing and managed to find some other hotspots – so job done!

A really great bit of kit..does what it says on the tin..brilliant at locating fish and first rate at mapping the waters contours and bottoms. The App is so easy to use and its a free download…Money well spent.
