Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. A fish finder system, comprising:
a capture device information input terminal configured to input a capture device information;
a capture device target point input terminal configured to input a target point at which a capture device is expected to reach in water;
a tidal current input terminal configured to input tidal current information including a tidal current direction and a tidal current speed, wherein area of the tidal current includes the target point; and
processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the capture device information input terminal, the capture device target point input terminal, and the tidal current input terminal, and configured to:
calculate a drift amount of the capture device required to reach a target point, based at least on the capture device information and the tidal current information;
calculate a capture device dropping point at which the capture device drops on the water surface, to reach the target point, based at least on the target point and the calculated drift amount; and
output data related to the capture device dropping point, wherein

the capture device information includes a size of the capture device, a weight of the capture device, and a fishing line length from the target point to the dropping point; and
the processing circuitry is further configured to calculate the drift amount of the capture device required to reach the target point, based at least on the size of the capture device, the weight of the capture device, and the tidal current information.
