Musky Therapy

Forward-facing sonar technology in fishing is a revolutionary new tool that provides anglers with a real-time, detailed view of the underwater environment. Unlike traditional sonar systems that scan downward, forward-facing sonar sends out a beam in the direction the angler is facing, allowing them to see fish, structure, and the bottom ahead of the boat.  By offering a live, high-definition view of what lies beneath the surface, forward-facing sonar is revolutionizing the way anglers approach fishing but the new sonar technology also raises several ethical concerns.  On this episode of Musky Therapy I sit down with hall of fame angler Joe Bucher and ask him to share his insights into the new technology.
