Not to mention the added excitement of the increased chances of reeling in their first catch, helping them enjoy the outdoors and spending quality family time. |
FRIENDSWhether you’re a group of two or ten, the Deeper START fish finder helps you find the perfect place to fish so you can spend more time catching, comparing, and chilling with friends. Fish into the night by utilizing the START’s automated flashing light. Fishing + friends = Good times. |

How to set-up and use Deeper START?
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
ChargingThe Deeper Start charges in 2.5 hours and uses a convenient USB cable that is compatible with any USB port. The battery lasts for 6 hours of continuous usage for more than enough opportunity to get your catches in. For best use, make sure your fish finder is fully charged. |
ConnectingIt’s so easy to get up and running with START. Use the barrel swivel to securely attach the fishing line to your Start fish finder and automatically start by placing it in the water. Pair your fish finder to your phone via its settings (as you would with any Wi-Fi connection). Once connected, open the free Deeper app and get fishing! Important: Make sure you have turned off all Wi-Fi assistance on your smartphone (e.g., “Wi-Fi Assist” on iOS) or switch off Cellular Data altogether. This will ensure an uninterrupted connection. |
CastingNow the fun part, you’re ready to cast out! Your START has an impressive connection range of 165 ft. To ensure a solid connection, do not put your phone on the ground or in your pocket. We recommend using the Deeper smartphone mount for your rod for a truly seamless experience. |
ScanningOnce your fish finder hits the water, you’ll start to see fish and depth data on your smartphone screen. Slowly reel in the fish finder and you will see changes in depth and fish location. If you don’t see any fish icons, then it’s time to move to a new spot and try again! Important: The screen will scroll from right to left even if your sonar is stationary. That’s because your fish finder is constantly sending out scanning beams. |

Follow every step exactly as the instructions say
and there are no issues
I had excellent results on the first try for an hour with the “deeper start” then the device stopped working and would not connect to wifi
The comprehensive troubleshooting guide helped me find the issue quickly
( which turned out to be a phone setting )
Give the unit time to connect . It can be a little slow.
The graphics are excellent, the schools of salmon were located quickly
However, remember that even when you find them they may not be on the bite!😆
PS. And the Customer "Support" is even worse. They claim that minor scratches (that are not even as deep as the Serial Number etched into the unit) are indications of "lots of physical impacts against hard objects", so they are using that as an excuse to absolve themselves from any responsibility for the product.
Finally Deeper support cleared out my issue! I am a happy camper! New one works perfectly and connects!

Received new one. Same issue as before. The unit does not display Deeper START in the Wifi network like the first one I purchased that stopped working after a week. Tried on two different phones, laptops and tablets. What does appear is ESP_2B6442 which is the device but support clarified that is wrong. Nonetheless I tried to connect to that and it immediately fails. So a 3rd unit now does this. Contacting support again and they are sending another one.
Wifi+ is off, there is no VPN and the phone has been restarted to eliminate any issues. Device placed on charge or in water and away from other Wifi devices and no effect. Unit is flashing that's it's broadcasting, app has all permissions also but that does not matter when the correct Wifi name can not be connected to. Unit is fully charged, Mobile/Cellular data is off, WiFi assist is off, Smart network management does not exist, Portable WiFi hotspot is off. That covers anything and still does not work properly. I have spent days to make it work and 3 in a row are doing this. I sent them back and waiting for support to diagnose what is going on, Deeper application has permission to use "Mobile/Cellular" and "Location". To check this, go to your "Phone settings" -> "Application settings" and find "Fishdeeper".

After speaking with Deeper support they determined a second unit is faulty? They are sending another replacement. I asked they test it before sending it out and they stated they will. Customer service is great but having the company in Lithuania and having to wait to get a replacement from there puts a damper on my fishing schedule and usage of the Deeper. Will update once received.

New unit received and same issue. Deeper does not appear on list of Wifi devices to connect to. Does not appear on my Huawei Mate 10 nor my LG K10 nor my new Asus Zenbook nor on my Samsung Galaxy tablet nor on my Dell PC Wifi network. It appears to be a bad batch/series? I have emailed support again to see what they will do again. Initially the first unit I had would display Deeper in the Wifi list to connect to. Then it never appeared again and now only displays ESP_280119 which I know is the unit due to the serial number but you can never connect to it. It just fails when you try. This is what both units are doing now. I have emailed their support for an answer but I mentioned that it appears they have a bad batch of these and are not being certified tested leaving the factory.

After contacting Deeper support they (quickly, one day turn time) determined that the unit is to exchanged. Now that is what I call excellent service! I will update again once this issue is resolved and the replacement is received and how it works and what occurred with Deeper support.

Purchased a week ago. Only used it once and it worked perfectly. One week later it does not work anymore. Does not show in Wi-Fi anymore to connect to. Contacted support. Never seen a device fail so quickly with hardly any usage, disappointing.
