Remembering the old way we used to map the river bottom
Back in the day on the Mississippi near St. Louis, we'd drop a lead line every few hundred feet and just guess at the contours in between. It was slow and you'd miss a lot of stuff. Now, with the side-scan sonar unit we got in 2018, we get a full picture in real time on a screen. Anyone else still have a lead line kicking around their gear shed, or is it all digital now?

We kept ours for a while but it just gathers dust now. The new gear is too good to pass up.

Honestly my buddy kept his old one for two years before finally tossing it last month.
