I haven't used sonar in the last three years, and I've been catching more and bigger fish..I say no way in hellz!<°)))>{
Not saying you havent outdone your own personal bests without it, but I would love to sit side by side with you and prove your theory wrong. Same set-up and location, you should always catch more with the finder.
Hard to know without exact models. I will say that I would rather drill holes by hand and have a flasher than use a power auger and have no flasher, if that makes sense.
Vex's scare off fish? That's new to me...
I have seen so many great sunfish bites turned cold from vexs I wouldn't want you fishing next to me..I only used sonar for 20 years on the ice.. What do I know..Lake Erie walleye... OK.. But no panfish, unless I want dinkville... I'm OK if everyone thinks I'm nutz .. I have taken limits of bulls while others are trying to set the hook on smerch and rebaiting... I got nothing against you flasher guys, just don't fish within 40 ft of me.And good luck!!<°)))>{
