These actual recordings were taken by Marport’s Irish distributor Sonartron onboard the well known Killybegs vessel Western Endeavour, skippered by Jens Bach.

These recordings were made while mackerel fishing of the west coast of Ireland.

One can clearly see the fish entering the net and going into the cod-end with crystal clear clarity. The echo from the net and bottom are clearly visible. The innovative new sounder looks both downwards and backwards to see fish going into the cod end. It also has depth and temperature, catch , pitch and roll. All in one sensor.

The only requirement is a 40Khz transducer and of course Marport’s revolutionary new underwater technology. No more guessing what’s happening at the brailer or if the fish going in…see it yourself. This unit can also be used as a wireless net sounder. No more cable splices or bad connections.  Just a clear picture of the way ahead!

(Special thanks to Jim and the crew at Sonartron for the recordings)
