Do you just go fishing and rely on your previous research or are you actually looking for fish on the sonar before you wet the hook.

Do you just go fishing and rely on your previous research or are you actually looking for fish on the sonar before you wet the hook.
A little bit of both - I like to start out trolling with my E-TEC 250 HO at 2.5 to 3 mph and that allows me to fish areas I think will hold fish - while I look for where they are at - under the boat and to the side!
I have my humminbird set up in so I can run my boat at 25 mph and look for bait and fish - then spin around and set up for a trolling pass.
When the fish are schooled up and tight to cover - I will usually look for them first and then fish once I find them.
