that's fishing man. Glad you got the sonar figured out. Keep playing with it. The more you learn to use it, the more productive you'll be.
Fish definately act different in the summer versus the fall, you need to study the species you are targeting. I'm no hybrid goo roo, don't claim to be. But you need to figure out how they act in that lake. Being a stocked fish might alter how they react to weather changes and such as well. Your best teacher may be, trial and error.
Something i recommend is to keep a fishing log. Record time of day, water temp, GPS numbers and the result of fishing there, how you were fishing, bait, etc....... File it by DATE. The next season, you'll be able to look back on similar or the same date, find the conditions that are close to what you'd be fishing that day, and see what you did last year. If you nailed it, repeat the scenario. If you sucked, you know to start the day doing something different. It can really save the day to have previous fishing trips info.
