Slab you sure can start a good discussion, with a lot of different options. If we all like the same things it would be a very boring world. I personally don’t have live scope and probably never will. It is just not my thing for those that use it that is ok with me. As Slab said as long as we all go by the laws and the limit regulations that is what matters. How we catch them is each to his on especially if we are enjoying Mother Nature. I think that some lakes can get to much pressure but not from the electronics on the boats. I know years ago I was like a lot of others and talked about how many we caught and what lakes we were fishing. That is when I saw a major increase of boats on different lakes I fished. I don’t see many lakes mentioned anymore but still some great pictures of the fish caught on a trip.
