Any Lowrance fish finder you guy can recommend for a PA12?

On the weekends, you will usually see at least several yak'ers out there.

There are quite a few spots out there that hold fish.

The challenge is to stay on top of the fish, since you may be drifting at a decent rate.

A buddy and I were heading out of Newport and this guys asked me where you headed, I replied rockfishing, he said I don't have a fish finder can I join. we said sure. We fished and did all limits all around, high fives all around. A few days later this POS dropped a google maps pin my spot on facebook group saying "hey guys this is where all rockfish are in Newport".

I have fished this spot for year at most 3-4 groups at a time. We have been very diligent about not putting too much pressure on the fish. These POS show up with 15 people pulling up every fish imaginable, 8 inch sheephead 12 inch lings... I personally feel so guilty for allowing this to happen. Honesty, I have not fished my honey hole for months. It saddens me to see thes POS go out there and do this . I have pics but I do not want to post the because most of them are friends.

I did that once, showed a guy how and where to catch spotties in O'side, next thing I know he's telling me he limited out three days in a row. I even told him the resource is limited and release them.

Not doing that again.

Damn, not even I marked anyone of those spots all the times we fished together. That's just not right. I even got good and successfully releasing the little guys with a nice shove back down to fix their air bladder.

That's it, where does he live? I know a guy, that knows a guy, you know? LOL/JK
