Only inside the bouys. When the area you're taking off from is freshly stocked 2-5 times per week with keeper sized fish, why else would you choose to burn 30 gallons of gas to get a limit?

Yeah I'm no scientist ! 😅

The saltwater transducers are effectively jamming other units in their vicinity. A boat 150 yards from you can screw up your display returns. The same type of effect that wireless Home/Dock Security systems can have on digital engine and trolling motor controls. Hell my garage door opener was turning my shop stereo system off & on and we like to never figured out what the hell was going on! Thought we had summoned a poltergeist. There's a lot of RF information bouncing around in our atmosphere these days. And now it's going underwater.

I'll tell ya how..... They EVENTUALLY release them, yeah. After letting them flop around on the boat floor, taking them for a 1-6 hour boat ride, weighing them, holding them out of the water to take pics, ect. The ONLY reason that tournament anglers have to run miles from the Take-off cove is because the recently released fish are totally lost, sick/injured, and circling the drain..... about to die. Just because you don't see them floating doesn't mean they are back to living a good life. The actual MDC REGULATION states that fish not possessed are to be "RELEASED UNHARMED IMMEDIATELY". Is that not what it says ? I haven't checked today....but that's what it used to say.

I don't know about YOU, but I've been "livescoping" trout for about 45 years. 😉

When sidescan came out, one of my customers accidentally located a Jeep in 22' of water near the back of Indian cr. at a power line crossing. The "authorities" retrieved it and charged the owner a healthy sum for recovery & littering. The question I have is: If you graph this lake you'll locate sunken boats and sunken dock frames EVERYWHERE. Since those things have numbers on them that are easily traceable......Why aren't those things recovered and the owners charged likewise?

Mylar balloons and some rocks to anchor them with, that's all you need. 👍 Of course it would be my luck that those schools of balloons would attract schools of 6 pounders......and I'd be creating the opposite effect.

I'd love to plant schools of suspended bass decoys out in the middle of coves.....just to keep them all entertained and busy. 😅

The truly odd thing is that nearly everyone I talk to is opposed to it......Yet they act like we just MUST embrace it, accept it, and get over any harsh feelings about it. No! No we actually don't. 🤔 I don't like it, it's gay as hell, and I'll never embrace it. While it's true that as long as it is used, it is going to dominate tournaments. But are TOURNAMENTS the only reason people fish ? Personally I couldn't care less about who won TODAY. It'll just be somebody else TOMORROW. And odds are that it will be someone you've never even heard of before. Might as well shoot craps. 🎲🎲 Of course my good friend @fshndoug just HAS TO have it.....but then again, he's one of those nimrods that can stand in the outlets all day long sore-mouthing hatchery runts with a mopfly. 🙄

It's gradually on its way out. Guys are going to get tired of drifting around casting little minnow baits on spinning tackle, at suspended blips on a screen. The biggest joy of BASS FISHING has always been the variety of ways they can be targeted. But now that everyone is doing the same thing, over & over, throughout the 4 seasons, it is going to get old. Nobody plays Donkey Kong anymore either.

Build bridges all your life and do they call you "The bridge builder"? No. Build rockets your whole adult life.....are you called "Rocketman"? No. But screw just ONE CHICKEN........

What I'm anxious to see....is some kid in a 16' Jon boat with a 20hp tiller, rigged with FFS, idling out past the bouys of the take-off cove, and taking everyone's money ! You know it's bound to happen.

Why you assuming that I do ? I say "Freakin' Women" all the time, but that doesn't mean I'm gay, does it? Freakin' Pete ! 🙄

You're kidding, right ? You should visit BBC and attempt to have a casual interaction over there. Freakin' Nazi's!

Your figuring is flawed. If having a "moderator" is a prerequisite, then I'd rather have you vs. some other random douchebag.

Why are you dragging ME into this ? I've not been the reason for a thread being shut down....EVER ! 😇

Easy now ! 😳 You're treading on sacred ground when you speak against FFS. It's as bad as knocking someone's religion, or trying to regulate their firearms. They'll cut your tongue out and threaten to sink your boat!

Wasn't me. I don't mess around with black girls. Candace Owens is a sweetheart that I'd make an exception for.....but I think she's already married.

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Thank God for that ! My wife's phone has 72 pictures of the same kid eating the same piece of cake 🙄

Trolling motor heads on both power poles. Like motorized grasshopper legs. Allows you to get 20-25' closer to the fish. Also allows you to "troll/stroll" to those fish while observing them on FFS Somebody is gonna realize pretty soon that for fishing that way.....the best rig is a PONTOON. ..

Mighty fine mess of sunfish !

Installed my first set of crappie brakes last Thursday. 480.00 just for labor 👍 I haven't spent 480.00 on crappie gear in my entire life. 😉 But at least I can still afford to smoke Marlboros.

No difference between monkeys and chimps other than a tail. A 3" load of #4 buckshot will do the trick on either one. 👍

Largemouth, Spotted, and Smallmouth bass are not Bass either.
