Abstract
The present invention generally relates to a fish finding sonar system. Specifically, this invention relates to a sonar device pairing with a remote computing device to provide information to an angler about what is under the surface of the water. Embodiments of the present invention include a sonar device and a remote computing device configured to allow the sonar device to wirelessly communicate with the remote computing device and the remote computing device to connect to a database to register and receive information about real-time fishing hotspots.
Claims14
A fish detection system comprising:
- a sonar fishing float, and
- a remote computing system;
- wherein said sonar fishing float comprises:
- a sonar sensor,
- a wireless communication means,
- a power source, and
- a housing;
- wherein said housing is configured to retain said sonar sensor, said wireless communications means, and said power source;
- wherein said wireless communication means is configured to transmit sonar data received from said sonar sensor;
- and
- wherein said remote computing system is configured to:
- receive said sonar data;
- receive geographic location data corresponding to said sonar data;
- and
- determine hotspot information based at least on a geographic location associated with said fish location data.
A computer implemented method for fish finding using sonar and a remote computing system, the method comprising:
- collecting sonar data at a sonar sensor of a sonar device;
- transmitting said sonar data;
- receiving, at a remote computing system, said sonar data;
- receiving, at said remote computing system, geographic location data corresponding to said sonar data;
- analyzing said geographic location data and said sonar data at said remote computing system to determine fishing hotspot information.
A computer implemented method for determining fishing hotspot information based on reflected energy data, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, at a remote computing system, data of fish found;
- receiving, at said remote computing system, geographic location data corresponding to where said data of fish found was collected;
- and
- correlating, at said remote computing system, said data of fish found and said geographic location data to determine fishing hotspot information.
