I find that a lot of times there is sweet FA on the sounder yet I manage to burley fish in if they are in the area.

Some people like to see arches which is all good. I often have marks fairly close together so if I dip out it is not to far to go to reset.

You only have to be a boat length or two out from a Xmas tree to miss it and leave thinking there is nothing about.

There’s different things to look at on the sounder not just the stacked up fish.

Ol' mate & I always head to the same spots, so this year I've convinced him its worth having a look around WP when we're up for it. fished outta Rhyll for the first time early winter & hooked lots of gummies - will go back and see what its like now to compare. fished the east top end to get my sons 1st gummy in winter & the next channel our guys hooked into 73 & 80+ snapper. Ol' mates now convinced its worth the time to look around.
Saying that, we are heading out in the morning, will be interesting to see if he goes to the usual!

Fish move so sometimes old spots mite not produce every time.
But saying that some fish like certain areas so if you try those area if its a new spot or not chances are you mite catch something eventually
