Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
Forward facing sonar is the most polarizing and most controversial topic in bass fishing. I use it everyday as a fulltime guide and fully understand the pros and cons. First let's discuss the positive effects of forward facing sonar. It absolutely allows an angler to be more efficient and target bigger fish which shows up in tournament production. It also has spread out the field allowing the hard structure areas to get less pressure because many anglers are searching open water for roaming fish. The sales of graphs,transducers,mounts,batteries and wiring harnesses have exploded. Now let's look at the negative impact. The fishing industry has always been driven by tackle sales and FFS has negatively impacted bait sales. It is expensive and anglers that can't afford it are at a disadvantage. It isn't "made for tv" as watching anglers stare at a screen is a hard product to sell. Well ok what can be done? I think what the bass pro tour has done in their tournaments is fantastic. First is starts with catch/weigh/release and they allow FFS in every event but only 1/3 of the time. If you are interested in fishing with a USCG licensed captain call 256-744-5185.
