The hotter it is, the higher a fish' metabolism runs, which mean... that's right, they're hungry... the only drawback is finding them.
If you're like me without a boat, it will NOT stop you from killer catches... mst guys with fancy boats wanna go off and explore little shelfs and pockets in a given lake and that's all fine.
But in sooo many lakes, ponds etc... shore cover in the form of riprap, moss, cattails, overhanging trees, docks, will yield MORE fish than the guys with their bs boats and sonar out there in the deep water.
Let them HAVE the deep water, because bass are a mostly shallow water speices... that's where they feed and if they can find a covered spot to chill out that's where many are. I've caught bass where people said I shouldn't be able to using the advice I just gave... a boat isn't able to fish these spots effectively.
My only problem with that outfit, or any big boat outfit?
I honestly don't want to be told "here they are"... damn man, that's some bullshit if you ask me, I don't want that cheat even when I get (and I will have a boat soon) a boat. A fish finder? whaaaaaa, isn't that part of the game?
I don't want some ****ing computer telling me where they all are, Sacc's outfit without the bs electronics.... that's more my style.

The one in that photo has a pretty expensive looking fish finder mounted on it. I understand not wanting one because of the fun of the hunt, but it really depends on where and what you are fishing for on whether or not it's needed. You want to fish for suspended crappie you need to know what, if anything is below. That being said, even when you see something below that is no guarantee at all that they will bite.
If you are on a body of water not necessarily fishing to shores, structure, or other things, you need to know how deep of water you are sitting in and if there is any reason to be fishing in a given area. But if you are fishing for bass and casting to plants or the bank then you don't really need one.
