Cory, in that instance of the clumps of cabbage, then waypoint those. I would have in that instance. But if your running a weedline, most of the time a consistent depth can be followed. If your going along, all of sudden the boat goes from the 14 feet of water you were holding in to 10 feet, guess what, I'd be pushing my boat left or right towards deeper water. Why? More than likely you are coming up on an inside turn or something has changed along that weedline.
Yes, you may run into the weedline or spot once in awhile, but that's learning, that's part of finding out what's there. By doing that, you have learned ok well I need to adjust for this next time. I guess personally trial and error once in awhile isn't always bad in my opinion.
Reading this TJ CLEARLY tells me you are missing a lot of key information when you are doing it this way. I fish ton of spots where the depth never changes and the weed edge is all over the place....if you adjust the way you do...you run up onto spots etc.
Like Brad said, (actually, I think we said it in the article too) Why crash and burn a spot 3-4 times to learn the spot when you can mark it once, and fish it like you have fished it for years...and CATCH the fish instead of burning the spot
