It seems to me that we are on the verge of crossing this line in the near future and resource managers will have to make some hard decisions (probably not popular) to protect certain fisheries. I don't think that we have crossed this line yet, but I think that most resonable anglers will agree that it is on the horizon.
    Yes and no yeah we may be able to see them but it still takes skill to catch them, I feel the same way about deer feeders is kinda cheating, also

    Matt, for some fish heads I know we are all ready there. Deep winter CRAPPIE are very susceptible to this. The issue is, we quality of the electronics is already there but the technical ability of the average guy to REALLY use and understand the technology takes a lot of time to get extremely proficient with. Those CRAPPIE show up as dots on my screen in 15-40 ft and my job is to remove as many "dots" as I legally can.

    Matt New Electronic's technology crossed the line several years ago, with the invention of batteries, generators and two electronic shocking rods stuck in the water, a technique called the Juice. 110 was bad enough but when fisherman started laying the 220 juice to them something had to be done.

    I have a 360 Transom mount, gps puck and jackplate mount, actually have 2 of them so need to sell one, make someone a good deal.
    I won't be on the water without the 360 anymore, made SI obsolete for me and the way I fish. Just put a new Helix on teh boat and can't wait to see it on the water Wednesday.
    PM me for details on the 360 if anyone is interested.
