Deep Ping Fishing

Seven questions

We're developing technology that can find fish species and fish counts within 10 miles of shore. Before we build further, we want to hear from people who actually fish. It takes about five minutes, and short answers are fine.

Questions about today · about 3 minutes
1.How do you decide where to run on a given day?
2.How much time and fuel do you spend looking for fish before you start fishing?
3.What sonar or fish finder do you run, and about what did it cost?

If yes, which ones, and about how much per month or year?
5.How often do you have a day where you burn fuel and find nothing? What does that day cost you? Fuel, refunds, a bad review, anything. What does that day cost you?
