Just make sure you have a good power source and charging capabilities on your boat for your phone if its absolutely necessary to get you back. I have an app that I use specifically to track my drift when fishing the sound (drifting over structure for lingcod, the app has very detailed bathymetry that i dont want to load on my sounder) and its a phone battery killer. Have gone back to the dock a few times with a dead phone. Luckily I dont need it to navigate since I have charts on my sounder.

What app is that? It would be great for shrimping.

It's a map you buy and then run in a separate app, or you can buy it for your sounder. It's called strike lines. It's kinda spendy now, it was about half the cost when I bought it a few years ago.
Here's a screenshot from Jeff head and port Madison.
If you are interested in seeing a specific area before you buy it, pm me and I'll screenshot for you to make sure it's what you want before you buy it.

Yeah, a bit spendy but might be worth it. Your mailbox is full.
