    Hi Cody.. Saw you on the Friday 15th on the fox...I didn't crowd you and respected your space.. Others came right through the spot....
    Man did you have a boat load on your 2nd charter for the evening..
    Learned a lot from you and Aaron Mik !
    Wish I had a heated shop to store my Ranger FS620.. I'd be out when it's below freezing at night...
    Saving up for a forward facing radar. I'm still learning the 3 unitls Lowrance that came with my Ranger..
    I'm all in favor of dropping all the bag limits down to keep our fishery healthy.. I never keep a female and perfer keep a few 15 to 20 inchers

    Did you all forget that fishing really isn't just for fun? People fish for food. I don't keep fishing after I've kept what i want. I practice selective harvest and fish for and keep many different species in different waters. For every person using livescope and not keeping fish, 10 more people are limiting out every time. I work hard using my knowledge, time, and skill to catch fish, don't take away my right to keep fish when im blessed with a good day fishing. Most people cannot afford to travel to fish for fun. If someone is spending 80-100 dollars to fish for a day, you would want the ability to keep fish. Since fishing is so expensive nowadays, i would rather keep a larger bag limit one time, than a smaller limit 5 different times. Less people on the water less often, is probably better for the resource anyways.

    I’d prefer to get rid of the technology takes away so much of the mystery of fishing, really hurts the people that learned a body of water throughout a lifetime of fishing. Not that hard to read a screen and sharpshoot fish. Plus guys with 20 rods ready to fish can figure out the bite quickly. It seems very much fish surveillance then fishing. Appreciate the video, if the technology is allowed definitely need to change the limits on the fish. Watching a screen isn’t natural too me.
    Good conversation, but personally miss seeing the mystery of fishing.

  • @nicholasdwyer3113

    good show and the only issue is the people that will use it to over harvest vs the fun of catching more fish. but the ones that over harvest are going to do it whether ffs is there or not. it should not be banned. lower bag limits and set a lower possession limit to equal the states daily bag limit

  • @TwistedGSXR
    @TwistedGSXR 9 месяцев назад

    I don't think it should be banned. Lower the daily limits. Not everyone keeps fish. I just love catching fish and letting em swim. I rarely keep fish. Just cause you have a ffs doesn't mean you'll catch em every time. Cody, you nailed it!

    I prefer the mystery of finding the fish without the technology, but I'm old and stupid. Technology does turn it into a video game and sore necks from looking down at a live scope rather than enjoying the scenery and exercising the eyes.

  • @Aaron_mik_fishing
    @Aaron_mik_fishing 9 месяцев назад +13

    You nailed it. We need to adapt with the technology. Bag limits need to be changed, and more anglers need to practice catch and release. I also think, most of the people who are proficient enough to really smack fish with livescope, are already releasing most of their fish. I do not think livescope is the reason fish populations seem to be in decline, there is a lot of factors that go into that, but I don't think banning livescope is the answer. I think there is a large population of anglers who either don't have livescope, or are not proficient with it, and just think we are killing every fish we catch with it.

      Most anglars who don’t have FFS think that you can catch every fish you see. That is absolutely not true!! Finding them and them biting are different. I never freeze fish anymore. I only keep what I can eat fresh, which is usually 1 fish. I can buy fish cheaper than I can catch them. It’s sport to me. Do I love to eat a small walleye or sauger, absolutely!! But I don’t keep one every trip.

    • @tommycornforth5150
      @tommycornforth5150 9 месяцев назад +4

      I live in Colorado and fish Nebraska and Wyoming and think you should only keep what you're going to eat that day. Bag limits should be lowered if we want good fishing in the future or kids. I don't have live imaging but i have side imaging and do just fine catching fish. I think the purpose of going fishing is to just get out with family and friends and enjoy what God gave us.

    • @markszablewski6619
      @markszablewski6619 9 месяцев назад +1

      Agreed, I don't own a FFS unit, nor do I plan on purchasing one; but 'owning one' does not equate to automatically catching fish; so to make them illegal is unfair, especially for guides who make their living putting clients on fish..
      That being said, smaller daily limits and just educating folks on keeping fish vs catching fish for fun, releasing fish that may be full of eggs, protect the future so all of us can have a chance to catch them some day..

  • @bradyknudson2731

    Cody,
    Another great video and I couldn’t agree more with you on FFS. Although I don’t own a system, I believe it would be detrimental to disallow the use. Especially for you as a guide and doing your best to put clients on fish. It isn’t about bag limits, it’s about creating the best fishing experience. If the DNR or government bodies are worried about overfishing, lower the daily bag limit. True sportsman are not the ones who are over indulging on a precious resource. I was brought up on fishing and hunting. I taught my children and now experience this with my grandchildren. Just my 2 cents worth. Thanks again for your informative videos!!

    You guys also have to beware of question #1 on how you answer it too. But it may put you on more fish but it doesn't mean there gonna eat. Yes they need to adjust the limits, but I also think they need to adjust the procession limit per house hold. That where it kills us peoe taking fish home every time they fish. I agree it gets kids more involved in fishing instead of gaming.

    I like and agree with your comment megalive and livescope makes fishing fun, or "recreational" but we know too that fish can't really hide anymore with electronics.
    Many of us have in our discussions come to agree new limits may be needed..instead of twenty-five panfish, maybe 6 or 8 etc
    Or, perhaps special restrictions- anyone having Megalive or Livescope on their boat is kept to a reduced catch limit.
    We are having more fun, buying equipment, getting others interested.

    @alexmurphy3005 9 месяцев назад

    I'd say change bag limits for boats or anglers(ice) fishing with FFS. It can be tough to get on fish with standard electronics as is. I only keep fish a couple times a year. when I do I like to be able to have a meal with a few folks. I fish from a kayak. Most of my friends don't have boats and those that do have old jon boats and can't afford FFS. It would be a shame to change the limits on folks that aren't privileged enough to spend thousands of dollars on fishing electronics

    • @alexmurphy3005

    Live Scope allows fish that would not normally be caught, get caught. I am talking about the ones that suspend in the middle of nowhere. Not on the bottom, not by structure, just the ones in the open so to speak. So, in a few years time, I feel walleye populations will be dramatically reduced. If you like walleye fishing, ban those FFS units. People have been fishing for thousands of years without them. You don't need one either.

    I dont think you're over stepping at all Cody. Its people like yourself that have a following in the fishing community to voice that opinion. A lot of people see FFS as cheating. Its really all about having fun and catching fish. Being responsible with the resource is everyones responsibility. Just because you can legally keep a limit every day doesn't mean you should. All electronics make it easier, and i feel like everyone is pointing the finger and FFS. In my opion side imaging makes it easier to locate fish. You can go faster, and range out to 100' on both sides of the boat. You're right, technology isnt going away and we need to adapt as things/ times change. Lowering bag limits and slot sizes is the way to go about it. Just my 2 cents.

  • @cjbarth1977
    @cjbarth1977 9 месяцев назад

    I think the bigger question is question number 1 that states the WI DNR would fast track rules changes without us getting to voice our opinions and not use the current 2 to 3 yr timeframe for changes. If question 1 gets thru, not of the other ones matter because they can do whatever they want. The fact that a FFS ban could potentially kill our fishing tourism industry by fisherman with FFS not wanting to come to WI or tournament organizations that may look to other states to fish instead of spending dollars here is WI.

    • @cjbarth1977
      @cjbarth1977 9 месяцев назад

      I see a lot of you guys on here use Livescope, but the fact is, you and myself all practice conservation management of the fish we fish to make sure there are fish for the next year and the foreseen future. I don’t think it should be banned… sure it helps locate fish, but so does sidescan…. It doesn’t put the fish in the boat, that’s you and all of us that put the right baits in front of them to bite, not the FFS. In the WI DNR wants to conserve the fishery for perch and walleye, restrict the commercial fishing boats on the bay setting up the long nets and buoys right by rock piles off of Bayshore up the east side of the bay.

    No it shouldn't be ban, if that's the case, down scan and side scan should be, side scan isn't much different than livescope, and people have used side scan to target fish before forward facing, next they'll want to take hooks away because they catch too many fish.

    Leave the limits alone and tell your DNR to stop playing politics. Just keep it like it is now and can’t see how it would make any differences and besides your slot sizes and day limit is already in place so this DNR proposing this is not right. If you lower the day limit is only going to make it worst. I know from experience. The fishing industry and guides still need to make a living and bringing fishermens in is also good for your economy.

    I think it makes sense to lower the bag limit because more people are catching their limits based off of social media reports and videos more than anything. I'm not against reports and videos by any means, but i know its easier for me to find information on how to target fish from social media and not even use forward facing sonar.

    @evanstelling9692 9 месяцев назад

    Tbh Cody, FFS is a little bit of cheating, sure it’s like playing a video game, but to an extent if you knowledge and experience with a species it basically lets you find the fish and experiment with different baits until keening a pattern in. But with that being said using a live scope can be cheating to an extent if you know what you’re doing😂, otherwise in my opinion ban it from competitive tournament fishing but allow it to be used for recreational fishing and drop the daily bag limits by 25-30%.
