Making the most out of electronics
To some anglers,
electronics - the
type you’ll find at
the console and on the bow
of any modern fishing boat
- can be a little confusing.
Why? Because of the mis
nomer that is attached to
them: “fish finders.” I, like
most everyone else, have
heard this expression a mil
lion times and it still seems
funny to me.
If they found fish, like the
term suggests, then why
aren’t we all catching our
limits of huge fish every
time we turn the thing on?
The truth is, electronics
aren’t necessarily used to
find fish but to find struc
tural breaks, rock piles or
stumps that can help you
locate fish.
These high-tech electron
ics give you a pair of under
water eyes so that you can
tell what the bottom of the
fishery is like. It’s not just
a bowled out hole out there
- there are humps, drops,
channel swings, points and
isolated pockets of cover and
that’s what I am looking to
find.
Often times, when I’m
slowly motor over a big flat
area that is - for example -
eight-feet deep, I am watch
ing my electronics like a
hawk waiting for the depth
to drop to 10 or 11 feet and
rise back up to eight feet.
That tells me that there’s
a change in structure and
contour.
After I drop some marker
buoys overboard to mark
the spot of the transition,
I’ll start casting something

they have won the state’s top prize.
The team also won the Southeast U.S.
Regionals (there is no national
competition) in 2003 by competing and
beating representative teams from nine

that again when they compete at that level

FISHING ON THE EDGE
With champion
Mike laconelli
like a Berkley Frenzy crank
bait, maybe a Carolina rig
with a Berkley Power Bait
lizard or a heavy jig. These
baits will come into contact
with the bottom and let me
know more about it.
Also, these baits cover a
lot of water so I can find
out pretty quick whether or
not there’s a fish in the area
that I can catch.
When the time comes that
I am using my electronics to
find a fish, I’m still not nec
essarily looking for a bass.
Mostly, I am looking for
fish activity - especially bait
fish which show up as dark
clouds on the electronics.
If I see that the depth of
the water is, for example,
25 feet and the bait fish are
at 15 feet, then I know to
focus my efforts in 15 feet of
water since that is the depth
where the feeding is taking
place.

Knowing that, I can drop
shot a Gulp! sinking min
now or swim a Classic Power
Jig at the right depth.
This information is espe
cially important this time
of year as we approach win
ter and colder temperature
throughout most of the
country.
In winter, bass are more
lethargic and are most often
found deep in the fishery’s
warmest water.
So, I look on my elec
tronics for deep water with
vertical break areas, places
where the channel swings to
create depth.
To catch more fish using
your electronics, it’s impor
tant to disregard this “fish
finder” misnomer and not
use it as a crutch.
By using the equipment
actively and searching for
areas where fish should be,
most often you won’t actu
ally have to see the fish to
catch it.
