Thanks Snipe.
Every type of fishing I have done around North America (when I do get to fish with buddies on their home turf) has had a definite learning curve to put fish on the hook. Are you telling me a magic fish finder won't immediately move me to the top of the learning curve?

Your state lakes are a pretty long haul for me, but I do know those waters a little bit. I think Sebelius is the best current black bass lake in your area? What is your current favorite lake up in your area, and what fish (and technique) do you most enjoy at this time? (I might be able to translate your success to the reservoirs closer to me.)
My kids and wife do enjoy Wilson Lake a lot.
