Re: picky pickerel and mob of panfish
I couldn't believe he just stared at the baited jig and it honestly was very frustrating but using the electronics has definitely gotten me fish I would've missed if I was fishing 'blind'.
For example when you drop a jig you probably let it hit bottom first and I do too then I work it up through the column, but multiple times I'll see a mark appear half way down, stop the drop and whack! Never would know that fish was there otherwise and who knows if it'd come back minutes later on the way back up.
I just use my boat ff btw. Ghetto rigged with foam on the transducer all in a milk crate in my sled. Warning though, once you ice fish with sonar you'll never want to ice fish without it again haha. Except maybe in thick weeds that come right up to the ice.
