Using a flasher to determine depth, bottom structure, and whether fish ate in the area is not fishing on "instinct".
Put it this way. If two people with equal skills and knowledge are outfitted with identified gear and dropped on a lake that is completely unknown to them who will catch more fish the guy with the flasher or the one without?
Arguing about whether or not having a flasher will catch more fish is ridiculous it's like arguing about what's better to catch fish a sinew line and hand carved wooden hook or a modern spin cast setup.
Either the people that think fishing without a flasher is better are waxing nostalgic about the good old days, have never used one, or can't afford one and are compensating by talking down their usefulness.
I wish I had a fully outfitted 90g fishing boat but I don't but you will never hear me saying how my aluminium with a 30 horse is better than a tournament boat.
