I don’t consider myself an expert by any stretch but I’ll share my thoughts. I’m not a fan of heading for packs of boats because I like my space. Early in the spring, I pick a spot like one of the closer reefs and start looking for fish. If my electronics aren’t showing fish, I’m moving on. I will continue to look for fish as I’m
leaving because sometimes they are off the reef they were on the day before.

If you don’t have good electronics, consider getting a decent unit and learn how to read it. It will become your best tool.
