I quit lake and tournament fishing many years ago and gave my 20 ft Ranger with the 200 hp Evinrude to a friend. What the locator told me is that fish, like most non avian life forms, orient on structure. Something different like humps, ridges, draws, etc. The exception is the open water stuff like sand bass and stripers. And yet, the fresh water life forms also relate to “something”.
More important to me as a predator is finding out where the prey gets its groceries.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
