Angler’s insight:

One of better kept secrets of top-level bass fishing is the use of underwater cameras to positively identify fish-holding structures. Laydowns, brush, log jams — we can find such habitat with sonar units, but taking time to snoop around the cover may reveal key details on quality and quantity, along with positioning. Strategically, observant neighbors are far less likely to notice you spotting fish on the video screen than they are when you bend a rod. And let’s not forget the heartfelt truth of engaging kids by showing them live video of the fish they’re targeting. Hook their interest, then teach them tactics.
