No doubt livescope leads to skill degradation. I was/am primarily a stream smallmouth chaser. But loved eating crappie, so i bought a boat and started chasing them. Without forward facing sonar , i caught exactly one crappie. After i got it, we filled the cooler about everytime. I just had no experience to draw off of and had no idea where they were at different times. I can admit it.
I care nothing about competitive fishing but i can see how the reliance on ffs substitutes for learning the lake and putting in extra time on the water to find the fish the old way. I never plan to use it on my river boat, as i know where those fish are. I don't particularly like staring at a screen, but it beats not having fried crappie once a week
