I try to watch videos and it’s so deceiving, in videos they get to a spot show the fish finder loaded and smash the fish! I look at my fish finder and wonder if they are even crappie, I’ve got a few trips to figure it out though so will see.
I love all parts of the game from jig making to rigging the boat. Last year I bought a Helix 10. Wife said I needed something to get my mind off a medical problem I was facing. It was a rough summer and fall recovering from surgery and I never got out after May. Didn't get the Helix installed till this spring. Now my time on the water is focused on learning the new system. Quite a jump up from a 13 year old 787. Might not even take the rods out of the box but I will learn the new electronics. Finding them is as much fun as catching for me. There is no use fishing where they ain't.
