    New Electronics and Week-End Warriors

    With all the new Electronics out now, that costs a large amount of money. If you're fishing tournaments, are you cashing more checks? Not looking to see if you're catching more fish, but would the investment of that amount of money ever be re-couped in a tournaments for us WEEK-END guys?

    360 paid for itself in 2 events....LS maybe 3-4. But to be honest breaking even is pretty good for the week-end series of events around here after you figure gas and pre fishing time lol

    Can actually say we pre fished out of a different boat due to working being done on the main one, well we didn't have 360 pre fishing, come t day we find a dock with a bunch of rock under it that we didn't know about. Got back to back 3 pounders off that spot on a tough lake. Eating lunch with a limit by 9. That was a fun day

    I know a guy here that has 4 units on his boat which is about $10,000. He also just bought a new boat. He has the best of the best. Fished a derby in Oct. that he was in and he left by noon because he was catching them. He looks good tho.

    I would not even have had my first lunch @ 9. But my man PJ ate his lunch at 9.... like a boss.

    To the OP; Why do we care what someone spends there money on, is that bad? I am personally grateful that people spend there money.

    Well maybe he was hungry and did not bring his lunch to the lake, must have been too easy that day.

    You never recoup money in fishing. It is just some love it and our escape from the daily crap.

    I can’t afford it myself but if I had a money tree I would have every new boat toy that came out. Not that I really need them just that I like toys. Amazing how much they have improved in just a few years!

    As Lake OH Ivie is proving that having Livescope is one thing, having it and understanding how to use it is totally different. You would think with the sheer crowds out there this week we would see more SALs from those not associated with the group catching them all.

    Hit the nail on the head, having it on the boat is one thing, knowing how to use it is another. I'm installing one on my boat now but I know there will be a big learning curve for sure!

    If money was no object, then it wouldn't be.
