What are the odds?

[N.E.T.O.]

I've always wondered what exactly electronics do as far as attracting fish in or repelling them. My Fishfinder is actually a LOW power Unit (Lowrance M68c) and since I haven't remembered to buy a new battery yet this season I've been using one battery for both the sonar as well as the fish camera (which is an old FISH TV black and white). Since I only have the one battery...my standard mode of operation is to only use the sonar until I see the bottom change shape a little or see something in the column, then turn the FISH TV on and turn the sonar off to save battery power. The fish TV Camera is aimed at both of my lures so I can see 100% of the action happening down there on the bottom. It's literally an interactive video game. At times in the morning on Saturday, the FISH TV would be on for an hour at a time with fish being there constantly. This is the same setup that I've used for years and some days I'm the one with the high fish count and some days I'm the one with the low fish count. I haven't been able to gather enough evidence to convince me that the electronics have any effect at all on attracting or repelling the fish. I have noticed however that if I fall asleep for a couple hours it significantly reduces my overall fish count for the day. The one thing I've noticed for sure is that my eyes have to be open for either the fish finder or FISH TV to do any good at all...
