Tackle Box Goes High-Tech With Sonar And Wireless
There are plenty of different uses for wireless technology beyond the typical ones. Here's a story about a new contraption for fisherman to track where the fish are. There have been similar devices installed in large fishing boats for years, but the new, smaller devices will work in small boats (canoes, kayaks) as well as from the shore. They send out a little sonar signal which is attached to your fishing line. The sonar then sends the data back to your (wrist mounted) receiver wirelessly and tell you where the fish are. Now, I'm not a big fishing person, but doesn't this take away all the fun of fishing?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
