Survey done ... Yes on question #1 ... also saw it on the Crappie.com Facebook page, but did not answer on that one (as I assumed it was meant for C.c FB members that are not website members).

If you try and take the survey on the same device, it will recognize your IP address and say, "Sorry, you have already completed this survey."

I'm interested to see some numbers....myself and all my fishin buddies have garmin ls units one has a lowrance but there are plenty of folks i fish around that don't have em and they all seem to ask the same basic question whats on tv or something to that effect so does that mean they are for or against ls?

The survey is going to remain active until at least Monday evening. I will cut it off at that point and ASAP, post results here. Thanks for all who have participated.

I literally just purchased Active Target and haven't even gotten it installed on the boat. What I find interesting is that the percentage of fishing boats WITH forward-facing sonar on our lake near my seasonal winter/spring home is VERY high, whereas the number of fishing boats with forward-facing sonar near my primary home in northern Pennsylvania (I do most of my fishing in upstate New York) is still pretty low I think. I'm actually shocked how many boats have it down here in the south. I've talked with lots of people who are fairly casual anglers and who acknowledge that they're not great or very successful anglers, yet they still pony up for the forward-facing sonar.

Done

Done. Foot note, I personally like the original PS-22TR Panoptix transducer over Livescope for fishing. I do not snipe with my units, just used to measure distance and direction to targeted structure.

But Structure with fish correct?

But Structure with fish correct?

I let my jig and jig presentation skills determine that. If I don't catch a fish in 5 minutes I move on, its just like Speckled Trout fishing. If no Trout bites before the boat quits moving time to go.
