Anyone who spends much time fishing these days is sure to have an opinion on forward-facing sonar. Like it or not, the technology is here to stay — at least until something better comes along. It has given fishermen eyes beneath the water like none they have ever had before.
It would be reaching to say modern anglers would be lost without their Garmin Panoptix LiveScope, Lowrance ActiveTarget Live and Humminbird MEGA Live Imaging units, but many might feel handicapped if their toys were taken away.
They may not catch near as many fish, either. At least not in the places, with the ease and in the manner that forward-facing sonar has made possible. It has truly changed the face of fishing, particularly in bass and crappie arenas.
