[QUOTE="Mud Creek, post: 5417793, member: 13378"] I'm afraid livescope and it's "effect" will be kind of like what social media hunting shows have done to hunting. Sure some people can watch those shows, maybe get a little useful info, apply it if needed and keep trucking. They'd probably eventually get it down regardless. On the other hand, some watch the crap religiously, and couldn't do/buy squat without just copying whatever *insert gimmicky sounding outdoors channel name here* says they should do/buy. You then have to share the woods with these googans and deal with their shenanigans. I don't think it gets touted as this magic device that gurentees success, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking that's what the average person who buys/wants one is hoping for and lots of it. I don't mind DIE HARD fisherman(novice or pro) catching fish or learning how to catch them, it's when the TRY HARD crowd shows up and messes with the "art" of doing a thing that drives me nuts! To add to the 2 fisherman 1 brush pile example, I imagine that happens A LOT but, that same scenario can happen without livescope. I've fished sxs with friends. Same bait, line,etc. and it just seems some days they like it a certain way. Do you think after the guy who knows current gets his limit the scoper won't be over there trying? Or the next day and every day after because he now knows he saw someone catch a limit there. All the while he's on that side trying to figure it out, that other side of the pile won't stay empty, it will be used by someone else whose watching him. Live scope does give an advantage to some who just do not need to have it IMO. We will be seeing a generation of younger fisherman who know no other way and think it's the best thing ever same as they do with cell phones, fb, etc. The "old way" will be so far removed that they know it all because the screen says so. More power to whoever uses, has,likes,needs,or wants them but I'm afraid they will do more harm than good when we look back on them 20 years from now. At least that's my fear, far fetched as it may seem to some. [/QUOTE]
