Ep 16: Modern Sonar Is Changing Fishing

Is fishing technology getting too good? Lenny from Garmin joins the podcast to talk about the rapid evolution of fishing electronics and how tools like the PS70, LiveScope and the latest LVS42 and LVS44 transducers are changing the way anglers find, understand and catch fish. We talk sonar, live-scoping, finding bait, targeting tuna, learning how fish react to lures, and where fishing technology could go over the next 5–10 years. Lenny also shares some of his favourite fishing, his move from the NSW South Coast to Victoria, and the one blue marlin that still sticks in his mind.
