I have seen the future of bass fishing and its not high end bass boats. No more need for any step ladders or sonar. Be the fish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-7RlL3YtiQ

Not that we are by any means sticks, but my partner and I fished out of my 2000 model 18-1/2 foot Skeeter SX with a carbureted 150 Yamaha on it. I have a (maybe) 5 inch Eagle GPS/sonar unit at the console that I bought in 2005 and a $179 fish finder at the bow. No power poles...but I do have an anchor on board. Actually two anchors...
We spend our prefishing time looking at lake maps, considering the seasonal pattern and water temperature, thinking about places where we have caught fish in the past in similar conditions, and mainly spending every day we can manage to get away from work fishing. Not idling around looking at graphs, but putting lures in the water and getting feedback from the fish.
It's worked okay for us. Then again, I'm an old guy and that's how we rolled when I was learning to fish.
