Fishin’ Jones

[Big Muddy]

QA, I am a 100% purist, when it comes to my crappie fishing.....I do NOT own, and never will own a live scope.....my son owns one, but he readily admits that it is totally useless, when fishing the shallow spawning grounds(1 to 3 feet) with me.....his boat will barely draft in that shallow water.....I get total satisfaction in figuring out where the crappie are located, what structure they are holding on, what jig size and color they like best at certain times of the day, and I follow the solunar tables, religiously.
It's a competition for me---me against the crappie.....I do have a depth finder, but rarely have to use it, except to keep from getting my boat grounded....I do, however, get a good laugh, out of watching the guys on the water with their little live scope tv screens.....they spend more time with their nose glued to their screens, than they do actually fishing.
If I was literally starving for food, I might buy one, but on the other hand, $2,200 will buy a lot of groceries.
And, I haven't even bought a minnow in prolly 40 years.
