Less than half of these SAL fish were caught offshore using active sonar. Most were caught spawning. So are some people worried about active sonar but not bank fishing for spawners? Catching a fish spawning on the bank is way easier IMO than tracking down a fish in open water and getting it to bite.

Those same guys using all this technology and high speed stuff were catching them before it came out and will catch em without it. They could out fish most of us with a Snoopy pole and a canoe. Technology doesn't make the fisherman no more than it makes the hunter. It's still the Indian not the arrow. Just my 2 cents.

It wasn't live sonar but you could mark depths of active fish and use that to identify structure to fish and drop your Bair right down amongst them. You didn't get to see them react the way we do now though. I know guys that can point at a tree on fork and tell you the exact depth to drop to and you would catch a fish as soon as it got there. Mammals are creatures of habit and they tend to end up in the same places with comparable conditions

The fish will almost never bite artificial now. Every large bass I’ve seen caught have been with what I would call unconventional means. The fish catch on.

After it got dug and filled in there was a few people that got together and put fish in that lake with their own money. I personally brought fish there from other lakes and turned them loose. We had put standing timber and brush piles all over it. It was a great neighborhood pond.

It was nothing to go catch 10-15 bass a day in the spring. On any bait you wanted to throw. I have a pic somewhere of me standing on a sandbar that was on the north west corner of it. I have 4 bass over 6lbs that I caught within an hour of each other.

No I was referring to Burroughs. Never caught anything over 2lbs at the hood.
