[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 174365, member: 324"] You better believe I'd fish or boat without electronics. On the Missouri River. The electronics don't tell you what's in front of you. Only what's beneath you. And GPS is neat, but not absolutely necessary. If you're unsure, slow down. It's pretty easy. I spent many years in my late teens, fishing with my dad and we had no electronics. A speedo that never worked, a tach that only worked on Tuesdays. Got fairly good at reading the river. And we spent plenty of time skiing and tubing too, so we weren't always just putt-putting around. I like gizmos as much as the next guy, and I'm not Wilfred Brimley, but you don't have to have a lake chip to go fishing. [/QUOTE]
