That's is far from the case. It requires a lot of hours to get really proficient with it. I had probably 1000 or more hours before I felt like it became cheating. Most will never put in that type of commitment. It isn't just learning the technology. You have to learn boat control and bait presentation as well.
    I don't doubt it takes some level of skill to be proficient but being able to bonk a fish in the nose with your lure in 20 feet of cloudy water just seems a bit unfair. To each his own though.

      Less than half of these SAL fish were caught offshore using active sonar. Most were caught spawning. So are some people worried about active sonar but not bank fishing for spawners? Catching a fish spawning on the bank is way easier IMO than tracking down a fish in open water and getting it to bite.

        Those same guys using all this technology and high speed stuff were catching them before it came out and will catch em without it. They could out fish most of us with a Snoopy pole and a canoe. Technology doesn't make the fisherman no more than it makes the hunter. It's still the Indian not the arrow. Just my 2 cents.

            You wound be suprised how hard it really is to hit a fish with a lure watching it on livescope. With trying to control the boat and the fish moving it’s pretty hard. I fish quite a few bass tournaments a year and I think livescope can hurt you just as much as it can help you. I have spent many hours during tournaments fishing for suspended fish offshore for them to not bite. You can definitely waste some time watching the screen.

                Yes he does. A lot of guys around Norman can guest host with him. He needs to bring Harold Allen back. Mark is trying his hand at pro bowling now.

                  We could do it before livescope essentially but not as efficiently albeit. 2d sonar allowed you to see your jig and the fish. It wasn't live sonar but you could mark depths of active fish and use that to identify structure to fish and drop your Bair right down amongst them. You didn't get to see them react the way we do now though. I know guys that can point at a tree on fork and tell you the exact depth to drop to and you would catch a fish as soon as it got there. Mammals are creatures of habit and they tend to end up in the same places with comparable conditions

                        I've ate a 10, it wasn't that good. Small bass eat great.

                        I've been video game fishing with old school 2d sonar for years.

This park pond has every brand, and every type of lure thrown into it all day everyday. The fish will almost never bite artificial now. Every large bass I’ve seen caught have been with what I would call unconventional means. The fish catch on.

                              If youre talking about the lake in the front of then hood, you should have seen if before it got drained and dug out. It was nothing to go catch 10-15 bass a day in the spring. On any bait you wanted to throw. I have a pic somewhere of me standing on a sandbar that was on the north west corner of it. I have 4 bass over 6lbs that I caught within an hour of each other.

                              After it got dug and filled in there was a few people that got together and put fish in that lake with their own money. I personally brought fish there from other lakes and turned them loose. We had put standing timber and brush piles all over it. It was a great neighborhood pond.

                                No I was referring to Burroughs. Never caught anything over 2lbs at the hood.
