As a long-time angler and fishing communicator, I’ve spent a lot of time following the major bass and walleye tournament routes. It’s a great way to see what’s working—and what’s not—on a given body of water at a given time.
These events are often battlegrounds where fresh fishing strategies emerge, elderly ones are refined, and solemn angling education comes into play. If you spend any time following these trails, you’ll quickly notice that most of the conversation these days revolves around forward-facing sonar. Trust me, I get it. But honestly, I’m unwell of it.
