never catch them the same way twice in a row

[merc1997 Bo]

got a later start this evening.  did not start until 8:30 pm, and was back on the trailer at 1 am.  never caught anything on the flat stuff and found all the bites on steeper bank with a jig.  ended up with 7 keepers.  six were brownies and one kentucky.  tonight, caught everything just about 20 ft. deep on a 1/2 GrassJig.  you literally just have to go find them every trip.  the one thing  that is the best clue to catching them is to just drive around looking for areas where the shad are the most concentrated.

How much do your electronics play into the way you find them?

[merc1997 Bo]

it would be very hard to do without electronics.  i just have regular sonar, but side imaging and knowing how to interpret what it is telling you would even be better.  i have said this before and i will say it again.  way too many fisherman need to leave their rods on the deck and spend some time looking around first and it would improve their fishing.  i equate it to making a long run in a tournament.  i would rather run all day and get to spend a quality hour of fishing rather than staying close and fishing bad water all day.  spend a couple of hours looking around with your electronics and the rest of your fishing time could be a lot more productive.
