I have all the fancy gadgets. I use them but. Nothing beats line of sight of a tree or a buoy a boathouse.

What brand and model electronics are you using? Garmin UHD Echo maps Have you calibrated your compass in the unit? I'm not sure all of them require that, but I know one of mine did. Is your tracking on, so that it leaves the dotted line everywhere you have been? I usually let mine just accumulate over several trips and don't start it over until the tracks start taking up too much of the screen. I keep the map set on a range of 80' most of the time, and between the waypoint mark on the map and all the tracks, I don't usually have any trouble finding a spot. But once I get close I let down the TM and then I can see whatever I marked by finding it on the LS. It's harder to find something like a brush pile without a LS, but the waypoints and tracks should get you close enough to eventually see it on the screen. Good luck with it!

Yup with the Humminbird just scroll the cross hairs to where you want it marked and hit mark. Then you can set up a casting circle alarm at certain distances to alarm when you approach that circle. I usually leave mine set at 100ft, leaves me enough space to walk up to the deck and turn the LS on and then get dialed on in the exact spot I marked.
As PCP you might need to calibrate that Garmin unit before you can get an exact lock on a specific spot. Seem like I read that when setting up my Garmin with LS. I did and have never had an issue.
Romans 8:1-2
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, for the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of Sin and Death"
