Often they are not so obvious, in that case you need to have good eyes and ears. Shut down, let your wake die and listen carefully. Often times its ripples/fins not splashes. Some years they concentrate on the same areas other times they are found in odd ball shallow spots, I've seen them get stranded by the tide in shallow pools. You can save time and $ by driving and glassing, or look for activity by other boats. And of course.. they don't call them fish finders for nothing.
