Whether it is a new location or your old tried and true secret fishing hole, do you really know what is down there beneath the surface? That’s where the fish finders come into play. It can be in the steamy hot and humid dog days of summer or the frigid wind-whipped subzero arctic conditions of winter out on the ice of a lake, but how do you figure out where the best place…
