Basically, everyone that has forward facing sonar, can afford forward facing sonar, and understand what they’re looking at is going to be on one side of the argument. Everyone who does not have it, cannot afford it, or cannot decipher the images is going to be on the other side.
Also if your from the Ivie area livescope, a rigs, and Oklahoma are the devil. Does that pretty much sun it up?  Nailed it.

I personally believe snagging a fish with Live Sonar would be more impressive than catching a fish with Live Sonar.
I believe intent is the deciding factor. I believe snagging is the deciding factor. Is it all right to unintentionally snag a fish? Come on, It's still a snagged fish, throw it back!

It’s can be sight fishing. I watched Patrick Walters his first day on Fork the year he won. Multiple cast on the side of a tree where he could see them. Few trees had them. He rarely caught one that didn’t follow the bait 20 feet before he caught it. Then it might follow several times. A bunch of work to fish all day like that with out a break. He could not have caught those fish without it. He had that technique mastered.

Don't have it, doubt I ever will have it but I don't consider it sight fishing.

Don't have it, doubt I ever will have it but I don't consider it sight fishing. I haven't got any sort of "Live" system on my bug yet but I'm working toward that end as hard as I can go but watching MLF Bass Pro Series for two weeks in a row something I've learned is just because you can see them don't mean you can make them bite. For any of you that have followed it, how many of you have noticed that the pros using it have made the statement; I'm paraphrasing here, that they could see them following their lure; multiple fish at a time in some cases and yet never get bit. To me that would make this game more frustrating than it already is, but it would be nice to know at least you were presenting your lure to fish and not just stumps, cover, and structure.

Ok I am going to try one more time.
Actual Site Fishing is looking at a fish with your eyes , looking down through the water directly at a fish. Its nothing like looking at a screen of a fish that is 60 feet away. I am sorry if I have touched a nerve but they are not the same thing.
I at one time was a very good site fisherman and am a decent at best Livescoper and also have Mega 360 , yes I absolutely agree I see that there are fish and that they are following the bait but that image is nothing like "real" site fishing.
No matter how bad you want it to be it isn't. That makes no sense. Looking at a fish live on the screen is the exact same as looking at a fish live in the water. You see real-time movements and reactions. Nobody is saying sight fishing is wrong, but to say livescope is not sight fishing is just plain asinine. Sight fishing a bed fish, you're casting to a fish real-time trying to get it to react. Fishing with a livescope, you are casting at a fish you see real-time and are trying to get it to react. The means by which you see it aren't relevant in this case. If you want to argue that it's not bed fishing, then I totally agree. But sight fishing is sight fishing, no matter how bad you don't want it to be. +1

100% agree and I have one on order but I bet I will only use it in the cold months or maybe dog days of summer? Hell I had fish on my 2/D and DI this weekend I couldn’t get to bite! I set a new fishing goal starting now. Any TFF thread that already has 3+ pages I will not click on!! Lol
