OVERVIEW

FishHunter™ 3D is the most powerful finder ever created for

Apple and Android phones and tablets. The sonar floats on
the surface of the water where it tracks water temperature,
water depth, bottom contour and fish locations. It can be both cast
and trolled behind your boat or placed in your ice hole.

The FishHunter™ 3D wireless fish finder sonar connects to your
smartphone/tablet via Wi-Fi using our free software app, so you
don’t need to have a cell tower connection or use your cellular data
to use your new fish finder.

Using our free FishHunter™ software app, you will also have the
ability to access and store critical fishing information like your
favorite fishing spots, your catch details and share your information
with your friends and other anglers.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We make updates monthly to improve your experience

with FishHunter. Please check to see if there is a NEW manual available.

HOW TO BEST USE YOUR FISHHUNTER

STEP 1: Create a BATHYMETRIC MAP of the area

Using BATHYMETRIC MAPPING troll around your favorite fi shing spot to
create a contour map so you can fi nd the changes in bottom depth

STEP 2: Check the bottom structure using 3D STRUCTURE MAP

Once you’ve identifi ed where the depth changes are using your
bathymetric maps, then navigate back to those spots using your
FishHunter app and create a 3D STRUCTURE MAP to see the bottom
structure across those specifi c areas.

STEP 3 : Check the area for fi sh using DIRECTIONAL CASTING

You know you are in the right spot, but are the fi sh here NOW? Cast or toss
your FishHunter sonar into the water and turn on Directional
Casting and use the 5 Transducer view to see if fi sh are present OR
power up 3D Fishing to see our unique underwater view of
3 transducers simultaneously.

STEP 4 : Log your Catch

Record your catches in your catch log book so you can fi nd the exact bait
and location information again in the future.

HOW TO CHARGE

Step 2: Locate the 3 pin charging port on

the bottom of the sonar. It is on the
opposite side from the tow point at the
back of the sonar.

Charging your FishHunter can be done
in 4 easy steps:

Step 1: Take the USB charge cord from the
box and hold the end that has 3 pins holes
in it.

Step 3: Push the USB cord into the bottom
of the sonar so that it is in snugly. You will
notice that you MUST slide the charge
cord past the transducer on the bottom of
the sonar which makes it slightly diffi cult
to get the charge chord into the side of the
unit. This is the correct way to ensure a
good connection with your sonar.

Step 4: Plug the USB cord into the charger
or any USB charger. A red light will appear
on the top of the sonar and stay on until
fully charged.

Directional Casting™ powers up all 5 Tri-Frequency
transducers, showing you the depth of the water and where
the fi sh are being detected in relation to your fl oating
FishHunter.

In this example, the right transducer is red, and the
number 13 appears. This indicates fi sh are on the right side
of your FishHunter, at a depth of 13 feet. Now cast in that
direction and increase your chances of catching fi sh. Click
on any of the 5 round icons and you get a split view screen
with the left side showing the depth of any fi sh detected and
the right side showing you the exact bottom contour for the
transducer you selected.

conditions as cold as -22 ºF (-30 ºC).

Ice Fishing Flasher View utilizes 2 powerful ultra high
frequencies 475 kHz and 695 KHz, to enable you to see your
jig in real time. Both the SPLIT Screen (Flasher / RAW Data)
and FULL Screen (RAW DATA only) views allow you to see

SIDE MENU OPTIONS

Shallow Water Mode: will adjust the scale on your screen to be

between 1.4ft-15ft and adjust the settings to give you the best
results when in less than 15ft of water. Please note that you must
adjust the power slider. Failure to adjust the power slider can
result in the FishHunter giving you incorrect bottom values.

Auto Range: the screen will take a few seconds to “fi nd the
bottom” depth for the area and adjust its settings automatically
to balance the gain and pulse width of your sonar to give you the
best results.

Every time you cast the FishHunter into the water the screen
will take a few seconds to “fi nd the bottom” depth for the area
that you are fi shing in. In order to optimize your experience, we
have created an auto ranging function that allows us to

41

automatically balance the Gain and Pulse Width of your sonar to
give you the best possible results at each depth you are fishing in.
In most cases leaving it in “Auto” is the best way to use your sonar.

But, if you are taking your FishHunter in and out of the water
repeatedly, like when casting, we suggest that you try manually
setting the depth range to increase the speed of your FishHunter.
You can set the depth manually by going into the side menu and
selecting the depth you will be fishing in. The side menu changes
slightly depending on what view you have the sonar in when you
open the menu.

Select the number of feet or meters for depth: You can manually
select the depth you would like to operate in. This will improve the
speed in finding bottom.

Surface Filter Slider/Ice Thickness Slider:

Whenever you use a fish finder, you will get what is called surface
reverb or surface noise as the sound waves from the transducer
reach the surface of the water.

The Surface Filter allows you to customize how much of the area
on the surface you would like your FishHunter to ignore or include
to give you the most accurate fish detection possible.

The filter is set to the center position by default each time you turn
on the sonar, but as you adjust the slider from left to right you will
see that a number appears on the right hand side of the

42

slider. This number (in either imperial or metric) is the ACTUAL
amount of the surface that will NOT be measured by your
FishHunter. In very calm conditions, you can set the Surface
Filter to a very low number to allow you to search for fi sh that
are located very close to the surface. In more
extreme conditions where you have high wind, high waves or
when you are trolling your FishHunter behind a boat motor, you
will want to turn UP the Surface Filter.

Try to set the Surface Filter to a number that matches where you
see the surface noise stop in the RAW data view on your screen.
in the example below, you would set the top sonar to 6.5ft and
the bottom sonar to 1.5ft to give you the best results.

43

Fish Sensitivity Slider:

The Fish Sensitivity Slider adjusts how sensitive the
FishHunter is at detecting fi sh in the water column/body. As you
move the slider from left to right you can increase the
sensitivity of your FishHunter from 0 to 5, with 5 being the most
sensitive. The Fish Sensitivity Slider can be changed in real time,
so you can see the direct impact each position change has on
having the FishHunter display and notify you of fi sh that have
been found in FISH VIEW. Sometimes, you will want the
FishHunter to detect and display all the fi sh no matter how
small they are, and other times you will want the
FishHunter to detect and display only large fi sh. The Slider
provides you a means to customize the FishHunter to your
fi shing preference.

Fish Sensitivity Slider

44

Power Slider

The Power Slider allows you to adjust the gain and pulsewidth
for your FishHunter. In Ice Fishing Flasher mode, the
FishHunter does not know the thickness of the ice, giving you
the ability to adjust the power you want to use when ice fi shing.

Higher power will allow you to see your jig very clearly but lead
to more surface reverb, while less power will lead to minimal
surface reverb but less clarity on tracking your jig. We expect
that you will need to adjust this setting each time you use your

FishHunter in a new area.

Power Slider:

45

ZOOM FEATURES

This feature within the FishHunter app allows you to look more
closely at the sonar display on your phone. This is useful when you
want to look at the bottom area OR review the top area of the sonar
data to look for fish or other specific artifacts. This feature can be
used anytime you are in the sonar portion of the app, and reviewing
RAW sonar data.

Steps:

1. Review sonar in RAW data view.

2. “Pinch” your fingers together and place on the screen where
you want to zoom.

3. Slowly move fingers apart while touching the screen.

4. Adjust the screen to the place on the screen that you would
like to focus on by taking your finger and “scroll” the screen
to move the screen up and down to get to the correct position.

Note: that when you are Zooming IN/OUT, the scale on the right/
left side in the sonar reading section will also change to match
the Zoom level you have chosen. As you are zoom in the scale will
increase and as you zoom out it will decrease.

IMPORTANT USAGE TIPS

FishHunter 3D is the World’s most powerful portable fish finder

and it is designed to work in all types of fishing conditions. As
you already know, it comes with 5 very powerful views to support
you in catching more fish and we recommend that you review
how the 5 different views work on our web site:

www.fishhunter.com/directional3d

Casting and reeling from shore:

The FishHunter 3D is 180 grams, so when casting from shore
we recommend that you use a stiff rod and braided line. We have
tested casting the unit with all types and styles of rods and lines
and have had no issues, but better to be safe in your approach
when casting from shore.

1

47

Kayak Fishing Usage:

With a range of over 150 ft, you can cast the FishHunter away
from the kayak and fish the broadest possible area. We have
tested casting the unit on all types of rods and lines but do
suggest a braided line for casting.

Drifting:

For drifting we recommend that you use our 15 ft leash to
attach your FishHunter to the back/side of your kayak. As you
drift along, the FishHunter will be giving you a strong
reading for the area located around the floating sonar and
below your kayak. This is perfect when you are not looking to
cast your line far or when you would like to drift your bait line.

Bathymetric Mapping:

Ensure your FishHunter is attached to your kayak within 5 ft
of your device. Ensure your device is elevated (try our fishing
tripod) and has good visibility to the sonar.

Paddling/Pedaling:

When paddling/pedaling the kayak at a slow pace you can use
the 15 ft leash and pull the FishHunter behind the kayak to
allow you to see the terrain below your kayak.

When paddling/pedaling along at a fast pace, you will want to
have the FishHunter located just behind your seat in the kayak.
This will give you the best possible
connection with the sonar and the most consistent screen
speed. (See photos on the next page.)

2

48

I. Attach your tether to the side of your kayak
(Note: in the below we have attached it to the kayak handle).

II. Allow enough line to ensure your FishHunter will be behind
your seat. When you are moving along (in this case we have
used about 4 ft of the tether) the FishHunter may bounce off
the side of your kayak from time to time, but that will not im­pact its performance.

You may notice in the RAW VIEW that you will be able to see
your paddle/pedal strokes in the surface noise. This does not
impact the performance of your sonar and is due to the fact
that the sonar is floating directly behind your kayak.

49

You can eliminate this by either moving the FishHunter just
behind your seat as explained above, OR you can switch to
FISH VIEW and use the surface slider to adjust to eliminate the
area where your paddle/pedaling is appearing.

Tin/Metal Boat Fishing:

When reeling into the boat you will notice that in some cases as
the FishHunter gets close to the boat
(under 5 ft) you will start to see the boat in the RAW data or
views screens. This is due to the power of the transducers that
we are using and their reflection off the side of your boat. When
the unit is right beside the boat most of this reflection will
disappear.

Drifting (no motor running):

For drifting we recommend that you use our 15 ft leash to
attach your FishHunter to the top/side of your boat. This will
allow you to have both hands free to focus on
fishing. As you drift along, the FishHunter will be giving you
a strong reading for the area around the floating sonar and
your boat. This is perfect when you want to fish close to your
boat.

With a range of over 150 ft, you can also attach the
FishHunter to a fishing rod and then cast it into the area that
you would like to drift it across. This will allow you to fish a
much broader area and also allow you to cast directly at your

FishHunter.

3

50

Trolling- 15 ft Leash Mounting:

The FishHunter has been designed to troll at under 2 miles per
hour for Android and under 1.5 miles per hour for iOS
devices.

The difference in the two devices is due to the difference in the
Wi-Fi chips in the different devices. You will find several
cases where you can troll faster but this is our recommended
range. Trolling speed is impacted by the water conditions and
wave heights. In more rough water the FishHunter will perform
slightly better than perfectly calm water. We recommend that
you use the 15 ft leash that is provided with your FishHunter
to make it easy for you to use your new sonar.

Please note - when trolling the FishHunter in a metal boat you
may see a thin line on your screen, this is just a sound
reflection off of your metal boat. - might think that reflection is
a fish. When this happens, you will see fish continuously on the
screen at the same depth level. Since this situation only occurs
with certain boats and not all, we suggest that you use the
“Fish Sensitivity Slider” to adjust the sensitivity of the fish

Trolling –Transom Mounting:

If you are having trouble with the connection to your phone or
tablet when trolling using your leash or you would like to try to
troll the FishHunter at a faster rate, you can attach the unit to
the back of the trailer mount of your fishing boat. Please follow
the steps below:

You are going to be attaching the FishHunter to the trailer
mounting bracket on the back of your boat.

You will want the FishHunter to be about 6-10 inches
behind the back of the boat when you are finished, so it
will float freely in the water. The actual length required will
depend on the height of your trailer mounting bracket.
A higher bracket means you will need slightly more line.

The goal here is to have the FishHunter sitting flat on the
water with about 6 inches of line free after it is attached to
boat. This will allow the FishHunter to sit flat in the water
while you are trolling it.
