Ive always preferred the simpler means of enjoying fishing. At times you'd think I€™m the only one without some kind of electronic depth finder, underwater camera or GPS to mark my hot spots.

I know better than that. There are other low-impact anglers. During summer we call them hook-and-bobber types, which is a generalization that could be applied to just about anyone taking part in outdoor recreation in a less-than-contemporary fashion.

I'll explain this in more detail. Fishing technology has advanced way past me. I don't have any of the modern day “must haves. I grew up ice fishing with my dad, sitting on five-gallon pails, using a big lead weight for a bottom finder and nothing more than a glorified stick with a hook as a fishing pole.
