When I said I had the finder on for 5 hours a day I wasn't implying I fish 5 hours a day. I may circle back to fish the odd hump I find but I'd go brain dead fishing more than an hour or two at a crack, 15 minutes if they're biting! No offense but I could fish at home yet don't. I mostly just like catching a glimpse of what I can't see and making the time I do fish more productive.

As a paddler who fishes, that's my take on it.
I can fish for longer if that's the only thing to occupy my attention.

On wilderness canoe trips, especially if your close to shore, there is so much going on if you take the time to notice.

  I can't be staring at a screen for hours/fishing when the natural world and all it's wonder passes me by.
