I just (within the last year) threw out my old handheld compass. It was very useful in finding fishing spots, as long as you had sight of two points of reference. I used it a lot before I was able to afford my first loran.
It also helps to look back and notice the shoreline where you came from. My gps gave out on me a few months ago while trolling a long way from shore. I kept on trolling and kept an eye on the compass, but ultimately, it was the shape and skyline of the shore, once we got close enough, that got us home.
