  • Page 32 "KNOW WHERE TO DRILL" FishHunter PRO is very powerful and you can actually find 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 flat/smooth.
  • Page 33 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 takes you back to view options (for iOS only)
  • Page 34 15ft of water. Please note that you must adjust the power slider when in this mode. Failure to adjust the power slider to your water conditions can result in the FishHunter giving you incorrect bottom values.
  • Page 35 FishHunter PRO. You can set the depth manually by going into the side menu and selecting the depth you will be fishing in. The side menu changes slightly depending on what view you have the sonar in when you open the menu.
  • Page 36 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 37 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, so you can see the direct impact each position change has on having the FishHunter display and notify you of fish that have been found in FISH VIEW.
  • Page 38 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 fishing.
  • Page 39 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 40 Casting and reeling from shore: The FishHunter PRO is 153 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 41 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 42 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 43 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 44 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 45 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...
