An elongated flexible pole, a shorter flexible connecting member fixedly connected to the outer end of the flexible pole to rotate therewith, an elongated rod fixedly connected to the outer end of the flexible connecting member therewith when the handle end of the pole is rotated, a transducer of a sonar fish finding assembly fixedly connected to the outer end of the elongated rod to rotate therewith, the transducer connected by cable to the signal generating component and monitor of the sonar assembly which is positioned next to the handle end of the pole on the river bank or shoreline, the pole being held at a diagonal extending upwardly and outwardly over the body of water, and an elongated rod extends downwardly into the water on a substantially vertical line, the transducer being submerged below the surface of the water having its transmitting face pointed in a direction parallel to the surface of the water, the transducer and its transmitting face being rotatable on the vertical axis of the elongated rod when the handle of the pole is rotated to thereby transmit fish finding ultrasonci signals from the transducer's transmitting face in any desired horizontal direction and in turn receive back sound wave echoes when fish are located and impinged by the transmitted ultrasonic sound waves.
A fish finder and pole assembly comprising an elongated pole having a handle end and an oppositely disposed connecting end, an elongated connecting rod having a first end and an oppositely disposed second end, connecting means to fixedly couple said first end of said connecting rod with said connecting end of said elongated pole whereby said connecting rod rotates with said elongated pole when said elongated pole is rotated, signal transmitting and receiving means to transmit fish finding signal means on a path through a body of water to impinge on fish in said path and to receive fish located signal means back on the same path when said fish finding signal means does impinge on said fish, said signal transmitting and receiving means includes a signal sending and pick up component shaving a working side facing in the direction said fish finding signal means is transmitted therefrom and at which said fish located signal means is received, said signal sending and pick up component being fixedly connected to said connecting rod whereby said signal sending and pick up component rotates with said connecting rod when it is rotated by rotating said elongated pole, vertical positioning means to position said connecting rod in a substantially vertical position when it extends from said elongated pole and said connecting means coupling said connecting rod to said pole, said signal sending and pick up component being fixedly connected to said connecting rod with its said working side facing in a direction normal to the axis of said elongated connecting rod whereby said fish finding signal means are transmitted therefrom and said fish located signal means are received back thereto on a substantially horizontal path when said connecting rod is in said substantially vertical position.
