Some of us put our Thumper's in a compartment below deck where we can barely hear it while it's running. Win win.

Could you just record it on your phone then play it on a waterproof microphone dropped over the side? I've never heard of such a device before this thread.

I had a Hydrowave with the thumper chip. That was not even close to the thumper.

I just built a thumper after going with an awesome white bass guide in central Texas. He swears it helps concentrate the fish under his boat when he spot locks ontop of a school or is off a little bit. It "picks up the slack" so to speak by drawing them in by curiosity of their lateral lines sensing the rhythmic vibrations of the thumper. Supplies: I bought an orange storage container from Academy (the bigger taller of the two containers). Costs $14. On Amazon i got the motor and control knob for under $30. Look up "190 rpm 12Vdc" and it should bring up a generic car seat motor. It's about $17. Then get a RioRand motor speed controller. This will allow you to control the speed. You can make the thumper with a hammer like a dead blow hammer or if you have some tools like I do you can make a heavy rod go up and down in a pipe. I attempted to make a short youtube video to give you some ideas. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NIk4qbnMKXc

Scientists have researched fish sounds since 1st world war. Many fish make a thump sound when feeding. Other fish hear the sound and know to go to the sound to get a bite. Just FYI

Ooops sorry, I got better at YouTube and went back and added pics of supplies and few key pieces and it changed the whole web address. My YouTube channel is RespectTheFish and video is called Fish Thumper. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LozMWb94aTk
