Scout mode - activetarget

Scout mode catches me a ton of open water fish. If a school on top goes down, I can hang right with them. The key to scout mode is getting mount where you can tweak the angle like the Fish Obsessed or Rytek. The factory mount is angled way too low for most applications. When you are using it shallow it needs to be almost 90 degree angle to the trolling motor shaft.
 
I use it 95% of the time and have caught 100’s of bass watching them eat my bait using scout mode. That said I’ve invested LOTS of time dialing it in.
