I like my GPS/Depth Finder to mark, relocate, and stay on cover and along drop offs first and foremost when im fishing deeper than 5 feet deep, I like it better when im marking fish in the area. Sometimes tho I fish a spot of cover and not see a fish in the graph but i catch fish out of the brush pile, this tells me they are buried in the cover and this most often occurrs in the middle of the sunny days I fish. Allot of times i can tell there are crappie in a area cos I have learned to identify the marks on my graph and the pattern they present on the cover im looking at. This pattern will look like a bunch of dots similar to a shot gun pattern in a medium/small size fish picture on my sonar and if that pattern is around a brush pile or along a drop off I really get excited cos allot of times I feel an immeadiate THUMP!!! when i drop my bait down. And you Know you have FOUND THEM!!! I always have a bouy marker out to help me stay oriented to a brush pile or drop off im fishing when verticle jigging and sometimes even spider rigging. Always throw your bouy marker just far enough to stay out of your way as ur working a piece of cover but close enough to be a help and keep you oriented to the cover your fishing. Verticle Jigging 101...LOL
