  • Page 35 Unlike traditional fl ashers that are required to be submerged beneath the ice, FishHunter fl oats in the ice hole on the surface of the water, withstanding weather conditions as cold as -22 ºF (-30 ºC). Ice Fishing Flasher View utilizes 2 powerful ultra high frequencies 475 kHz and 695 KHz, to enable you to see your jig in real time.

  • Page 38 "KNOW WHERE TO DRILL" The FishHunter is very powerful and you can actually fi nd the bottom depth in most cases, without having to drill a hole in through ice. Clear the snow from the surface of the ice, ensure ice surface is fl at/smooth.

  • Page 39: Menus And Settings

    Top Menu Side Menu There is one top menu and one side menu located within your FishHunter App. Each of these menus can be called by pressing on the small slider like icon on your screen. TOP MENU OPTIONS X: Clicking on this icon will take you back to the view options (for iOS only.
  • Page 40 Every time you cast the FishHunter into the water the screen will take a few seconds to “fi nd the bottom” depth for the area that you are fi shing in.
  • Page 41 In most cases leaving it in “Auto” is the best way to use your sonar. But, if you are taking your FishHunter in and out of the water repeatedly, like when casting, we suggest that you try manually setting the depth range to increase the speed of your FishHunter.
  • Page 42 In more extreme conditions where you have high wind, high waves or when you are trolling your FishHunter behind a boat motor, you will want to turn UP the Surface Filter. Try to set the Surface Filter to a number that matches where you see the surface noise stop in the RAW data view on your screen.
  • Page 43 FishHunter is at detecting fi sh in the water column/body. As you move the slider from left to right you can increase the sensitivity of your FishHunter from 0 to 5, with 5 being the most sensitive. The Fish Sensitivity Slider can be changed in real time,...
  • Page 44 The Power Slider allows you to adjust the gain and pulsewidth for your FishHunter. In Ice Fishing Flasher mode, the FishHunter does not know the thickness of the ice, giving you the ability to adjust the power you want to use when ice fi shing.
  • Page 45 ZOOM FEATURES This feature within the FishHunter app allows you to look more closely at the sonar display on your phone. This is useful when you want to look at the bottom area OR review the top area of the sonar data to look for fish or other specific artifacts.
  • Page 46 Casting and reeling from shore: The FishHunter 3D is 180 grams, so when casting from shore we recommend that you use a stiff rod and braided line. We have tested casting the unit with all types and styles of rods and lines and have had no issues, but better to be safe in your approach when casting from shore.
  • Page 47 Kayak Fishing Usage: With a range of over 150 ft, you can cast the FishHunter away from the kayak and fish the broadest possible area. We have tested casting the unit on all types of rods and lines but do suggest a braided line for casting.
  • Page 48 II. Allow enough line to ensure your FishHunter will be behind your seat. When you are moving along (in this case we have used about 4 ft of the tether) the FishHunter may bounce off the side of your kayak from time to time, but that will not im- pact its performance.
  • Page 49 With a range of over 150 ft, you can also attach the FishHunter to a fishing rod and then cast it into the area that you would like to drift it across. This will allow you to fish a much broader area and also allow you to cast directly at your FishHunter.
  • Page 50 Trolling- 15 ft Leash Mounting: The FishHunter has been designed to troll at under 2 miles per hour for Android and under 1.5 miles per hour for iOS devices. The difference in the two devices is due to the difference in the Wi-Fi chips in the different devices.
  • Page 51 If you are having trouble with the connection to your phone or tablet when trolling using your leash or you would like to try to troll the FishHunter at a faster rate, you can attach the unit to the back of the trailer mount of your fishing boat. Please follow...
