[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3760758, member: 15054"] Fish finders have not caught me any fish. Probably do not know how to use one. They will find you drop off's and the channel etc. I like to troll and that will find fish. Follow the birds and I like to fish along a rip rap in a boat or a water intake tower if there is one. Drifting shad in a river or a lake chanel is productive. If you set out jug lines you can find area's in a lake that produce more than others. Sometimes I park the boat on the land and set my poles out. Usually park in the shade somewhere as being in that sun all day will cook you. I do not take beer or alcohol of any kind on my boat I am there to fish and put meat in my belly. Plenty of water and food of course. I fished from a canoe for decades and was on Eufaula Lake when a storm came up I had one other guy in the boat and my causing and his 2 buddies were in a gas powered Jon boat. They tossed the minnows from the bucked and the shad from the 5 gallon bucket. Bailing out water with both buckets It was all they could do to keep that boat from sinking. They made it to shore barely. There was 1 fiberglass bass boat on the lake where we were with that pointy nose and he had that nose trimmed way up and waves crashing over the front and trying to fill that boat. In the canoe i would ride the swells from top to bottom and in the bottom of the swell all you could see was water No highway bridge in sight. We took in maybe 1/2" of water in the bottom of that canoe. We got to the shore which was the rip rap next to a bridge and a couple guys in the Jon boat thought we had died because we would disappear in the swells. When they seen how much water we took in they wanted to take the canoe out in it. We emptied our fishing equipment and off 2 of them went. 17 foot poly canoe made by coleman. [/QUOTE]
