We came with a friend to fish on a windy autumn afternoon. The waves on the lake were huge, and we had only a few hours to fish. Our only option was to head to a bay, which was secluded from the wind and waves. Being at the lake for the first time and also being quite inexperienced with fishing, we started scanning with the Deeper sonar. The depth was pretty even, around 9-13 ft. However, we soon found a small drop-off with a cloud of baitfish. We started casting around that area, and even though I was out of luck, my friend landed 3 perch and a 1.6 ft pike. The trip was a success to us due to being able to find the drop-off so quickly.
