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.


but then why stare at a float or eagerly watch carp take in every floater
and find yourself willing it to take yours, maybe you might be better off
with a fishing sim
