About my Fishing Experience

I have a 23 foot deck boat that has been modified into and guide boat. I have a bait tank that keeps bait fish called "gizzard shad" alive. I have kept them alive for several days and then they were still alive and let go. I use reels that has line counters on them that lets you know exactly how deep the bait is. I use a remote control to operate the trolling motor. This keeps me out of the way of the people catching fish. I can operate the motor from anywhere on the boat or on the shore if I wanted. I also has a auto pilot which lets me point the boat in any direction and it will automatically keep the boat in that direction while traveling at any speed I choose. I use a Lowrance HDS 12 touchscreen with structure scan. This pretty well wraps up the boat and equipment. I have found that most people can't or won't learn to use such equipment for what ever reason. Equipment is fun and enhances the chances of success but the human element is still the most important. Hope you enjoy!
