catching northern and catching trophy pike are two different things. James was using a tool to find optimal water in a bay that is miles long on a lake 50 × 50 miles. Smart fisherman showing us how to use a tool to eliminate thousands of acres of useless water….
Well said. Have spent better portions trips in June just eliminating useless water in big bays trying to find weeds. If I’m on a trip with limited time, how can I put the pattern together faster and find other areas that match it as efficiently as possible?
I have and still can catch quality fish without the gadgets. One day per weeklong trip is dedicated to small boat, small motor, and no electronics on a smaller lake. Fun to go back to the basics but on big water maps, sonar, and now side imaging can shorten the learning curve.
