Larger fish that spend the day offshore often times move in close to shore at night...I rarely fish more than 6' 0f water...I rarely fish during the day after mid June... and no on the radar... not a must ...for years all I fished with was a compass and a paddle.. paddle determined the depth compass lined up my drifts and found my way home.... using line of sight navigating and landmarks ( lights in this case) made me a better more observant fisherman... I still use these skills after nearly 50 years on the water... the fish finder and GPS/map are sweet additions to my boat but land marks don't move and a compass never looses it's satellites...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
