    I've fished lake okeechobee for many years with a 14' jon boat looking for little nooks to wonder in for crappie. It's not only wise to observe but to listen. I have made the mistake to get right on top of bedding gators that were as long as the jon boat. ever tried to back up a jon boat?

    Good read, I fish out of my kayak without a fish finder. So I allways look at the waters edge contour, depth, and structure. Drop offs and coves are great, specialy if they have cover to hold stalking fish.

    Great read. I especially like school of bait fish, points and creek mouths in the back of coves.

    Good read.....all these tips worked for us before we got the fancy fish finders and they still work good for us today.

    I'm a bank watcher too and still trying to use the ff to find the holes and humps. Watching the depthfinder will cause you to
    miss the minnows being chased out of the water. I'm finding myself paying too much attention to too many things at the same
    time and forgetting to watch my line. I may have started using my depthfinder too late in life......LOL.

    All great information. Sometimes it seems like there's an overload of info for the fisherman to adhere to. Many times I feel like there's so much info that I get overloaded and can't utilize a lot of it. I call that Information Constipation. Wind, sun, water temp, air temp, cloud cover, barometric pressure, food base, moon phase and the list goes on. I wonder if I'll ever get it all down pat. Great article though.
