Other than fog of course one of the best applications I saw radar used was that Tuna trip I went on with a friend of mine....of course in a 20' boat you wont be out 40 miles but we were out there and could here a handful of boats catching tuna on the VHF...my friend called out on the VHF to see if anybody would be so kind to give us a heads up to where they were ( it was a Monday so we thought we had a chance of somebody calling us in) and got nothing but crickets on the other end.....the other guy on our boat said "turn on your radar dumb ***"....bam...they they are!
