Really? Will this NO FFS tournament circuit work?

[WB Staff]

Would you be interested in competing in a NO Forward Facing Sonar tournament circuit?
What fisheries would you like to see this on?

Its not about a new FFS circuit yet. Its about saving a sport we all love that you hope is based on an even playing field. Not many see the risk yet. Many love it, and many dont have a clue yet. Shining light on the subject may be the best disinfectant. Any move out of the gate will not bring joy to the Fish finder industry. It would only take a few Events where you could draw for half the field to have FFS and the others not. Switch on day 2. top 10 on day 3 can do what they want. This could give attention and shine the light on what really is happening. Good, experienced fisherman may still find a way, but can compare the unexperienced gamers with no fishing ability to be competitive without working their craft first. Just a thot. Probably wont happen. To many hater still, that love the sugar high and bigger weights. Remember, You can teach a lesson. Its only truly learned after its to late. Its just goina take more time.

That half and half idea is an interesting concept.

The most important skill one must develop with FFS is knowing when to shut the damn thing off. Everybody has it. The fish definitely feel it and are conditioned to it. By default, we will all devolve back to a time before all of this tech. Either that or stare at the screen and waste time fishing for fish that won't bite.

How does a "half the time on / half the time off" plan work for permanently installed hardware ?
Honor System ?
Official on each boat ?
Need two boats ?

Haves and Have nots... leave the screens on the dock?

Didn't we all use to fish NO FFS Tournaments before FFS. Everyone who is Tournament fishing already had FFS, why would anyone want to take it off or unplug a transducer, they are still going to go fish the same stuff with or without the FFS. Learn how to use it and accept the fact that some of these guys are just much better fishermen then you (us). Still takes a lot of skill to learn how to use and understand what you are looking at on a screen.

Have fun spot lighting with those 15 boat fields. We all had plugs when our parents said dont touch. I dont have it so yer assumption is wrong. You may become a better spot lighter, but you wont be a better fisherman. Time will tell...... Oh, one more thing. What ever happened on that whole live bait thing? Im sure I could shock up a good limit with some electronic probes. Might be the time for anything goes. Heck its all just Tech. But if your tech makes you better, you may say no to all others. Once you break it.... its broke. Didnt need fixing. People walk away quietly. Then you get 65 boats for a MLF Which is MAJOR LEAGUE FISHING. Got to be a part of that Right?

Question for all the people that are against forward facing sonar.
Have you ever fished for deep fish under the boat using 2d sonar, saw the fish and dropped your bait down to them and caught them??????

Have you ever seen a sign.... BRIDGE OUT AHEAD? Then stayed on the gas? Road has been fine up till now. RIGHT? Maybe its time to turn around. Thats a different thing. Guess I'll wait here on the side of the road and watch the smart guys go for it. 64 boat.... MAJOR LEAGUE FISHING! maybe some have already disappeared. Like looking at yer cell phone all day, seeing a Bridge out ahead sign may not happen. Kinda like staring at your fish finder all day. Just might be worth paying attention once in awhile.
