Now the Monsters Of Fishing are not ones to shy away from using technology to maximize the fish to hook ratio. Yes, we still subscribe to the tried and true traditional methods of cloud observation, the Farmers Almanac, the Butt Pucker at Seeing the Perfect Cover-to-Sunslant-Guage, or the Throw Enough Crap at Them Until Something Sticks technique. However, there’s nothing wrong with side scan sonar, military chipped up GPS, and underwater high-def video.
Having said that, I felt no embarrassment going to the basement and fishing trough my totes, and dusting off my best fish-finder to make sure it would be ready for the end of June Rangeley trip.
I particularly like that it’s laden with features like the one foot graduated depth scale, and an “On-Off” knob. I know that the hard core old timers are likely to give me some disgusted looks for being so lazy employing sophisticated electronics to the art of fishing but…….comon!…this baby’s sweet!
