It’s been very interesting reading articles in Michigan Outdoor News and other publications regarding forward-facing or live sonar, a technology that detects fish that are in front of and around, not just under, your boat.
Those who follow tournament fishing, including the tournament anglers themselves, are wondering if expanded use of this new technology will put too much pressure on the resource. I’ve been wondering the same thing myself, and it’s good to see the concern.
