Overheard a barge captain say 'the bottom tells you more than the screen ever will'
That stuck with me during a job last week on the Mississippi near Baton Rouge where I was fighting a sandbar and finally stopped staring at my depth readout and just felt the drag change through the throttle, has anyone else had moments where you ignored the instruments and trusted what you felt in the controls?

I get what you're saying, but I've had the opposite happen too many times. That "feeling" in the controls can be your brain playing tricks when you're tired or already frustrated.
