Thread: Article: “Chasing Fish” – The Garmin Livescope in Action By Bernard Williams

Awesome technology... will it work in shallow lakes with lots of cover... most of our lakes are less than 8 feet will lots of lilly pads?
Thanks for sharing

I hate messing with a net, I love feeling the thump then swinging them in . I actually loose less fish not trying to get a net . lol That 13' Phantom by Huckabee gives me a little more reach .

Inkdabber makes a valid point , a great angler is quickly becoming reliant on technology to be such .

The answer might be to offer 2 divisions- one with LS and one without. LS has absolutely changed this sport forever with no turning back Inkdabber. I am less concerned with how technology is effecting tournament fishing than with how its going to affect big crappie populations. Recently my son and I caught exactly 40 crappie over 2 lbs in one day using LS of course. Pre LS if we caught 4-5 that size IN A YEAR it was a good year. We turned every one of those fish loose. I hope that our mind sets regarding the release of big fish is changing as we have developed the technology for even average anglers like me to fill the boat with slabs. Since we can most days easily catch numbers of 10-12” fish we have decided to release everything over 1.5 lbs. I would love to catch a 3 pounder some day but first that fish will have to avoid the cornmeal as a 2 pounder.
