WOW..... you hit ALL the nails right square on the head. Are you sure you don't work one of those companies............? [

I've never really cared for the misnomer "Fish Finder" I don't think mine have ever FOUND fish. But they do let me know when I have found them.
Reason for that dislike: I have pulled several boats off of sand bars and rock ledges at various places over the years when the water was much lower than it is now. One eventful 4th of July a couple years ago, I pulled 2 boaters off of shallow spots at the north marina of WB within 2 hours of each other. I asked the first one had she been watching her depth, and I got the answer "Oh, I'm not fishing, I don't need a fish finder". I laughed so hard she must have thought me a bit crazy. (Crazy...? wasn't me that got stuck on the rock ledge just outside the north channel) And then I was heading in and saw 3 guys in a big old tri-hull stuck on the hump just off the north boat ramp. I helped pull them off to a bit deeper water, and knowing that no-way would I get the same answer, I asked the man at the boat helm, "were you watching your depth?" And I'll be darned if he didn't say EXACTLY the same thing. Decided right then and there, no more Willard Bay trips for me on 4th of July. Too many ignorant boat operators. [mad]
