This is a companion piece to catscratch's recent thread about Recommendations for Pond Electronics (fish finder).

I have opened this new thread to get feedback on how to use our electronic devices to get better outcomes. Your responses, can be how you initially started using the technology, or how you found new uses that you were not capable of before recent advances in technology or moving to more expensive equipment.

1.) How have you used your electronic devices to improve your fishing performance?

(This can include the basic advantages of the original "depth sounders", to the more advanced units that send back signals on fish (fish finders), to side scan images that can show fish sizes and orientation to structure. Also include camera systems if you have had some good (or bad) experiences. Even more novel approaches (like one member posting drone images used to monitor his fish in shallow water) would be appreciated.

2.) How have you used your electronic devices to improve your pond management?

Thanks for any input from members. Personally, I am always looking to improve on the things that I don't know, that I don't know!
