I'm sure there are strong opinions on this subject, but I am curious to see what the majority thinks. My question is: Should Livescope be outlawed?
Personally, I think it should be outlawed. I consider Livescope to be the same as gill netting. There is no sport in dropping a hook into a fishes mouth via video screen. What are your opinions?

Asking for an opinion on something you obviously know nothing about from the sound of your post. Can't speak for others but as an owner and user of FFS for several years now if I think you're technology challenged because you're old and technology passed you by or you're just ignorant as can be.

One of the strong opinions I was speaking of; by someone who argues by name calling and generalities because he is not intelligent enough to argue with facts. Ignorant of what? Using livescope is no different than hunting with drones. Hunting with drones is illegal, so why is livescope different? My opinion is that the law has not caught up with technology. Hopefully it will soon.

I would to need use one to see if it's as big of a cheat as people say.
I can't afford one and I'm not buying one so I'm neutral.

I have a buddy that told me the same thing, “they need to outlaw it because it makes fishing too easy”. Then he bought one, “to get the advantage”… ![roflmao roflmao](/forums/images/graemlins/default/roflmao.gif) he went out to use it and called me begging me to come out and show him what to do. I just laughed and told him to quit listening to the old people, because they didn’t know what they were talking about and yet again, proved with the OP’s post above. Let’s use this “hunting with drones” comment. First off, a drone wouldn’t work where there are trees, I guess in the desert it would work. But land is 1 dimensional, it’s pretty much flat. The deer can’t be 1’ high or 50’ high, it’s going to be on the ground. A lake is multi-dimensional, a little fish that is 18” long by 4” wide can be anywhere’s from 6” deep to 60’ deep. You aren’t going to find pinpointing that little fish all that easily. Sure the young guys with great vision can do pretty well with the technology, but the average fishermen will suck with it. Now I will say that for crappie fishing, it works great. OP didn’t specify, so whatever.

The 1st thing that came to my mind was whether you mean outlawed entirely or just in tournaments. I do not think it should be outlawed everywhere and tournaments should make their own rules.

No, I don't think it should be banned. I currently don't have forward facing sonar, but might in the future. I just don't think it is as easy to catch fish as it looks. You still need to locate the areas holding fish and then get them to bite. I just returned from a trip to Toledo Bend lake and caught some bass in open water on a hump vertical jigging while looking at my 2D sonar unit. I could see the bass near the hump and I literally dropped lure straight down in front of trolling motor to catch them 15' deep. Should 2D sonar be banned also?
