Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fly Carpin" data-source="post: 153314" data-attributes="member: 1187">I 100% agree that the tech available now has reduced the learning curve. Have you met some of the dummies on this site that crush fish like they know what they're doing? But in all seriousness, his message holds true for many outdoor pursuits. We're putting more pressure on the fish and game now than ever before (with the exception of market hunting), but let's stick to fishing. All the tech plus an attitude that "I drove all this way and I'll be damned if I don't keep my limit" will eventually bite us in the ass. Look at how fast some of the smaller pothole region lakes go cold these days. Yes, I know that they'll likely winterkill or dry up some day, so we all gotta get while the getting's good, but it's obvious that GPS, sonar map apps, etc. etc. add substantially to people's success. That said, it's a public resource, and we the people can do what we want with our resource, within the confines of the law. If a guy wants to take his Wilcraft out to a piece of structure he found with his Navionics app and Vexilar, drill holes with his high speed electric auger, drop a camera down to make sure they're not bullheads, and proceed to catch a limit of gravid 15" perch every day until they're gone, that's his choice. I'm just glad he's from ND and not Wisconsin. You can tell because he's not wearing blaze orange coveralls and he's not shouting about Johnsonville brats.</blockquote>
