what do you lot think of the fish finder as advertised in AT the other
week
( for those who did not see it involves a small transducer that you attach
to the end of your main line and cast out, it will then send back a signal
up to 30 meters and display it on the screen) the fact that you can use it
as a float and watch as a fish comes and takes the bait could be almost as
exciting as surface fishing.

I didn't see this but why take the element of surprise out of fishing? You
might as well put David Attenborough in a SCUBA suit and let him give you a
running commentary on any activity near your bait. Soon we'll all be able
to stay at home and let Robo-angler go and fish for us.
