90/10 sounds about right, but I see the reasons a little different. My dad caught a load of fish back in the day with a super sixty flasher. I do agree electronics help(I can't imagine the fish my dad and his friends could have caught with a modern DF) but there are other factors too. I still know some crappie fisherman who don't have modern electronics and catch a lot of fish. My honest opinion is that the biggest factor is having someone teach you about Crappie fishing and shorten the learning curve by years. Especially when they give you some of their spots. Time in the seat is a big factor too. I spend a lot of days, when I am by myself on the water, fishing new to me water. Most of these days are unproductive, but I see it as a necessity and an investment in the future. A network of friends that share fish information is also a huge boost. The fish are biting somewhere, but you can't be everywhere. Putting out attractants is another factor. 8t may take years for a pile to be discovered by another fisherman, if put in the right place. Any way I guess that my point was that there are many factors and paths that add up to success on the water. Just my two cents. Lol
