I have to agree with PRVRT. You are where the fish are, you just need to zero in on what they want.
The bad thing about sonar is the same thing can happen. You read fish, but you can't figure out what they want. That can be frustrating.
However, I fished last Saturday without sonar. I used a a clip on weight to find out how deep it was as I was fishing a nymph deep. I HATED IT!!!! I am totally spoiled by sonar! I caught fish, but I HAD TO WORK HARD!!!! LOL
Sonar lets you know what zone the fish are in but it also lets you see the bottom structure. That is really important, specially if you are out IN the water. From shore it doesn't much matter, but cruising a lake from a tube or toon, it can make all the difference.
