Ever since Bass fishing has existed, it's been hard to catch Bass.    It doesn't matter what advancements we make, the fish will adapt, and on the macro scale, even evolve over time.  

 

One thing I know about Bass, maybe the only thing......they are extremely unpredictable, and don't adhere to any hard and fast set of rules.      

 

I have a Koi pond.....I can see the fish anytime I want, they will only eat one or two times a day no matter how many times I throw food in there.    You can't make a Bass eat that doesn't want to eat.....Sonar, FFS, underwater camera, whatever.

The USA power grid is at least 50 years away from using that as a power source for all types of vehicles excluding aircraft.

We like to catch green bass not green power. 

2040 is 18 years from now, I will be gone and you all can figure this out. 

Cheers!

Back in 2005 California outlawed the 2 cycle outboard engine unless it met 3 Star emmisions that only new fuel efficient engines could pass. CARB had to back off it’s ruling in 2007 after recreational industry lobbied strongly.

Today California is facing stricter regulations supported this time by the government that basically outlaws all gasoline or diesel powered engines in 2035, including cars, trucks, lawn mowers, blowers, motor cycles, 2 and 4 cycle engines for sale.

By 2040 we may no longer gas stations to fuel out obsolete gasoline engines. Electric outboards and Lithium batteries like Tesla covering the boat bottom.

Kayaks, canoes, row boats, sail boats will be more popular then ever and maybe the boats allowed on the water.

2040 I will be 97 or pushing up daisy's.

Seriously,   Unless anglers band together with the industry,  special interest groups will litigate us right off the water. Locations are quickly being privatized and access limited or closed. Oregon and Washington agencies have declared Bass as invasive and trash fish. Don’t joke about it because some of us are already experiencing habitat loss and deadly changes to regulations.

Same here.  74 now.  Dad died from a heart attack at 74.  Mom at 59 from heart attack.  Even if I'm alive in 2040 it is highly unlikely that I will give a chit about bass fishing as I will be lucky to make it to the bathroom let alone make it to a lake.  Besides, my 10 oz. combos will be too heavy for me to fish with.

maybe dont loan this guy any money. :D.  just kidding.  

 

my dad died in his 40's, all the men did.  so i know the drill.  live wild!  live fun.

For real! By then I'll be way more concerned about still being able to pitch a tent instead of pitching a jig.
