Technology

[WestFork]

I'd like to see some facts, not opinions, including my own. I do think it's a fact that technology has dramatically increased the efficiency of commercial fishing and that has reduced the success rate and, through shortened seasons, the opportunity for sport anglers. The latter spend more and harvest less in their quest for a better quality of life. :-)

I believe it makes smart anglers smarter. I know in my personal experience, it has helped me be more successful and I don’t consider myself all that smart. I think when used properly, things like depth finders, Navionics, better fishing gear, etc. has improved the sport. Thank you for the input!

All true what I like MOST about fishing is that the fish has the final say as to weather on knot he bites, and what he bites. Tight Lines amigos.

Truth! You can do everything right on your end, but they still have to bite, you’ve gotta set the hook and get them in the boat

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink

You can lead a fisherman to a great fishing location (Baja, mako-ville), You can mentor him, give him all the tools but you cannot catch the fish for him.
