[#0000FF]Glad you were able to get out and fire up the motor. Sorry the fish did not want to play.
Your report not only confirms what I suspected, about the fish still congregating on the west side. It also helps prove the point that finding fish is only part of the problem. If they are not active you may as well be fishing in your bathtub.
I have had a lot of discussions with "PETA types" who argue that using electronics is unfair to the fish. What they are not smart enough to realize is that sonar only helps you find fish...not catch them. The real downside of sonar is that it rubs your nose in it when you find fish but can't catch them.
We used to fish in ignorant bliss...rationalizing that there were no fish present if we couldn't catch anything. Now there are days we go home and jump off our tackle boxes after seeing fish on the screen all day but not getting so much as a sniff.
In fishing, sometimes ignorance is bliss. Some anglers must be deliriously happy.
