I don't have electronics........yet

I pulled the electronics off of my 176 and put on my 190, since the 73sv garmin was only couple months old and the helix 7 on bow was a year old.

Y'all that get too accustom to using all those ultra-cool high-dollar electronic gagets to catch fish are gonna be like lost shivering kittens when the day comes that you need to catch 'em without it.

Saw a video recently where the guy was struggling and whining all day about how disabled he was because his massive console unit had refused to power up.    He apologized for the lack of success he had that day, and promised that the next upcoming video should be much better since he'd have it fixed or replaced by then.

Pretty sad.  😄

Well of course you don't need electronics to fish for shallow bass! Bass are one of the few species that I don't usually mess with bringing the electronics for. Those electronics are gold when it comes to non-spawning crappie and paddlefish though. I've caught plenty of both before having decent electronics, but I catch a whole lot more now with electronics. 😉

When you are a local and fish the same water all the time, you don't need electronics. I've always told people that when they start asking questions about whether they need fancy electronics or not. Maybe you do, maybe you don't. I know they have made fishing a lot easier in new waters for me simply because they make finding what I am looking for that much quicker and easier.
