Sure, Chuck. It's sometimes hard to consistently find the same structure
on
the Gulf floor even with differential and WAAS. Try to find the exact 15
foot wide piece of structure with 2 feet fo relief in 60 feet without
GPS.
It ain't gonna happen.

All the fish are in a 15-foot area?

Al the time?

Seems unlikely, but then I don't fish in FLA.


The bottom is almost completely flat. The bottom fish live in: 1) structure
(rocks, artificial reefs, etc), 2) under ledges, or 3) in little holes in
the limestone bottom. If you're not directly over one of these, you're not
catching fish.




Got a fish finder?

Yes. But when seas are a 3 foot chop, it's not the easiest thing to detect
2 feet of relief. Each wave moves the transducer up and down more than that
amount.
