The field lesson

Depth matters. So does curiosity.

Fish-finding starts with questions you can test, not invented sonar screenshots or guaranteed spots.

Watch • Learn • Adjust

Move one variable. Learn something.

Make a plan, observe the response, and resist changing everything at once. A quiet trip can still make you a better angler.
