How would you troll without electronics? Sounds like a lot of lost gear if you do not use electronics.

I agree Brian however there was a day when it was a reality, Elec's just make it that much better

[blueghost1]

agreed...lost the lowrance due to a bad coaxis cable off Sodus last year for about 45min. Weirdest feeling trolling blind until I could get if fixed...very simple, electronics are tools of the trade for trolling

I used to fish with 100' of mule tape tied to my anchor marked every foot so I knew how deep I was fishing

the ledges on Cayuga can eat a lot of tackle

Although we used to have one of those speed devices that just used the boat speed to swing a weight hanging over the side that we used way back when flatlining in the south end

The electronics dont help as much when you are pulling copper on a vic rig

Obviously anyone answering this poll is using "electronics.... but as for being a "million dollar elect' capt"...no way. I wouldn't classify a $500 fish finder, a $400 Sub-T & a $100 radio as in the million dollar club. (riggr's are manual) My tackle box & reels are worth a lot more.

Off Taughannock you don't have to move to far to go from150' to 18' the same off Myres pt. Its not to good to have a rookie driving and look up from the cooler and see the rigger cable stright out the back because he went over one of the ledges

I cant think of anyone that isnt using something electronic these days, but many of us remember "fishing blind" I am sure.

The first flasher we had was not very reliable in the 80's, I can remember looking at each other when a DR weight hit bottom, and saying "Do you remember a ledge there?" more than once. Back then we thought nothing of hitting the water without a radio, and cell phones were not around yet either.

Gotta know how deep it is to troll with my tin can

You wanna see depths change quickly, troll the St.Larry sometime...WOW..Its spooky how steep the rock ledges are in there..cool though

[jennings]

not only do electronics keep you from loosing gear and able to locate fish, people who go out like to see them on the boat! It can be like having tv on board. Its always great to wach fish streak through the graph and then have a rod fire.

[Mortigan]

Frsutrating to see them on the graph and not get a bite though...

[Hookedup]

Never use them! None on my boat

Whats electronics?
