Fishing App: Deep Dive 4+

I used the beta version quite a bit before the weather went crazy here in VA. My lakes were not in there but I used similar lakes and the app helped me get on the fish and catch them. If I did not catch anything I could still use my electronics and find that the fish were actually in the areas which gives me confidence in using it. Catching fish with the recommended baits puts the icing on the cake. Beats other apps that I’ve used hands down so the ~7 per month is a deal. Can’t wait to see where this app is in another year. Will Randy be bashing it when people start winning tournaments with it? Great job guys. FYI I do love watching Randy so tell him I’m joking. Sort Of LOL

There is a lot of potentially useful data although I am kind of new to using this app so I haven’t experimented with all the features to see how accurate they are. The main problem I have is when I am using the app at home and trying to analyze the areas to fish, it is very frustrating and time consuming to determine the areas on the lake with only residential neighborhoods and highways annotated and and I know Percy Priest very well from many years of fishing it. It has many creeks and coves, and it is difficult to determine where they are in the app just by looking at the shape of the lake. It would be better if there was lake and fishing data like the names of islands and creeks were noted or if it was possible to make your own notes on the map or drop pins or waypoints so I can more easily see where everything is without having to be on the lake.

For someone who loves fishing as much as I do, I don’t have the opportunity to get on the water as much as I want. Between life, work and my family, I’m lucky to get on the water twice a week. Usually the only days I get are tournament days and you can forget about practicing for those. This app has allowed me to research and document the things I would normally do on the water. Most nights, after the family is asleep, I’ll spend some time researching wind patterns, water clarity and air temps to give myself a game plan for the weekend. My only gripe about the app is that there is no surface water temperature option. The Omnia Fishing app is able to provide that which makes it a little annoying to have to switch back and forth between apps to gather the data I’m looking for. If Deep Dive could find a way to incorporate water temps into this app, HOME RUN!!!
