New sonar gives anglers clear picture

Forward-facing sonar is all the rage these days in the fishing world.

Pros and recreational anglers alike are relying on real-time technology like Garmin Panoptix LiveScope, Lowrance ActiveTarget and Humminbird MEGA Live Imaging to sniff out fish and catch them like never before.

Alton Jones Jr. of Waco relied heavily on LiveScope to win the $100,000 top prize in the Major League Fishing event in late February at Lake Fork.
 

Anyone who has found success with the technology will agree the forward-facing concept is a significant improvement over conventional down scan and side-scan sonar introduced more than a decade ago.

Though still effective, traditional sonar requires boat movement using the outboard engine to function properly. Spooking fish is an inherent risk.

Forward-facing sonar is different. It works using a special transducer that mounts to the trolling motor shaft or an independent pole. Anglers can slip quietly along as the transducer scans the water column all around the boat. High resolution imagery relays to the electronics screen in real time.
