@Bankc I totally get that. For me fishing is just boring to watch but love doing it.

 

now comparing hockey and soccer is an insult to hockey lol. Don’t get me wrong you have to be extremely fit and talented to play soccer but, yeah not even close.  That’s purely apples to oranges.

Thanks for nothing, FFS advocates!!! I finally relented and mounted 37 FFS units on my canoe. It sunk and that's all on you FFS fans. 

You would learn very quickly there is a big difference between fishing from a canoe with paddles, and fishing from a navy destroyer. Its not just the experience, being in tune with the weather and the season, but rather how fish react to certain presentations. Without sonar and props, there are lures that attract, very strongly and from great distances. As soon as you drop troll and turn on the sonar, that fish has already sensed a disturbance. Hence why most ffs tactics are very small, subtle and finessy.

I'd bet big bucks that you're right. However, I don't have big bucks to bet because I now have to buy a new canoe and gear. Sigh.
