    Default Do you think that technology will soon hurt the sport of crappie fishing...


    I'll get the ball rolling. Scrat posted this in my announcement thread: Do you think that technology will soon hurt the sport of crappie fishing with more people catching more from the technology of electronics to find and catch crappie?

    I started my crappie career in the 60s with a cane pole and big red and white bobber with a shiner minnow under it. The electronics we have now weren't even thought of when I fished bass tournaments in the 70s.

    I posed this exact question to Darrell Van Vactor of Crappie USA but as it pertained to tournaments and the possibility of new platforms like Live Scope being disallowed.

    I know I'm a better fisherman because of SI/DI. I also know the crappie adjust to pressure, regardless of where it comes from. One huge thing IMO is we now fish for crappie almost year round in probably 1/2 of the country. That pressure is because of better clothing, better boats, better equipment. The new electronics are just a part of the issue.
