I managed to get out last Sunday arvo to test out the sounder. I tried a smaller lake I'd fished from the bank before but it was choked with weed so no luck this time. 
 
In good news ut looks like the sounder works perfectly shooting through the hull.

Thanks Hamish, now to find some time before it gets too cold down here to chase some natives.

If the tether is as thick as the font on your message you should be fine.

Thanks kmcrosby78, I bought a cheap waterproof case for it that seems to work ok. I just have to make sure I don't drop it. Should probably come up with a way to tether it to the yak.

Hi All,
 
It's been a hectic start to the year and I haven't been able to get out on the water often.
 
I did head down the coast to Jervis Bay in NSW just before Christmas and picked up a couple of decent fish, the silver trevally put up a great fight in particular.
Just the other day I found a cheap, portable fish finder on ebay so I thought I'd give it a go. For $60 it couldn't be too bad. Only issue I've found, after it came with a dead battery is that it's only in imperial, so I have to calculate depth into metres myself. Will see how it lasts though. All installed into my kayak today. Hopefully gives me a bit more idea what's happening below.
 

Nice one, looks like you're having fun with the new yak 🙂. Nice work with the photos - not easy when solo on a yak.

Does the sounder have a settings menu somewhere? You might be able to change the units to metric.

That sounder will be well worth it. After a while you'll wonder how you ever went without it.
Did you measure the silver trev ?
 
 
 

I did try that but unfortunately it doesn't have the option. The manual says models sold outside the US should have an extra option for metric. Mine doesn't,  so even though I bought it off ebay from Aus it must be a US model.

I'm hoping so ellicat.
The trev went to about 35cm, just a bit longer than the flattie in the pictures.
