That's pretty funny. But I think using fish finders is cheating. Half the fun of fishing is finding the fish, fish finders subtract 50% of the fun level.

Half the fun of fishing is finding the fish, fish finders subtract 50% of the fun level. my thoughts exactly...i use one so i can know if i'm too shallow, incase a bunch of stumps start showing up, etc....i will start to use it after a while of no fish to find better places to fish (especially for crappie) if i can't find em'

Is invisible fluorocarbon line cheating too? The fish still have the upper hand no matter what tools we use. Just because you've found them doesn't mean they will bite. It takes skill, and a bit of luck to get them to bite.

That looks like a mid 70's model. My dad bought one in '72 and it was a little plainer than that one. I remember thinking that fish would jump in the boat. Not quite. It took year or two to figure it out. Once we did we sure caught alot more fish

Don't know how old this is, but electronics have changed I have two flashers on my boat. One on the bow and one on the console. You would be surprised how well you can read the "grass" with these. I'm 52 so I don't think I quite qualify as a dinosaur.
