WoW !!!! dont flip it!!! Best of luck all LOL aside

Thans cva, I've been fishing from a kayak for almost 10 years and haven't flipped one yet. It's really not a kayak, it's a Hobie Pro Angler.

I installed my first livescope last July and spent the rest of last year learning how to utilize it. I spider rig a bunch. In Ohio we can only use 2 rods per person so it is a much reduced spider rigging. Livescope helps. With the narrow beam and my rod spacing I can only see one rod but I mounted it on a separate down rod from my trolling motor and can turn it very easily from my seat to look at other rods or docks, brushpiles, whatever. The largest advantages are depth positioning of your baits and watching how the crappie react to your baits. You can tell very quickly if they are going to hit or not. The last benefit and one I really wanted the livescope for is many crappie in some of our lakes suspend just 1-2 ft below the surface certain times of the year. You would never see those fish with traditional fishfinders. I know of more than one guy selling his 360's

I like it so much that I purchased a 2nd Livescope unit this spring and mounted it on the other side of the boat for my partner to use. So I have two livescopes that I use for spider rigging.

Kim, what length rods are you using? Think I saw video of guys seeing four baits out in front of them while spider rigging.

16’s but I space my rods out quite a bit. At 15’ in front you only see around 6-7 ft wide. I don’t need to see more than one anyway. I don’t need to see them bite, I get all of the information I need looking at one rod.

I really thougt there would be more interest in this question. Only one of my friends that I know of has one and he says it is a "game changer". I've only seen it on youtube but I can imagine it wil be.

Heck I'm still using DSI. I feel like I'm "cheating" just by using that

Well, my Livescope finally came in. I got in installed on the kayak this morning and took it out on our maiden voyage. I've got to do a little work on the steering, but it worked pretty good. The wind was 15-20 mph. I spider rig most all the time so I have to figure out how to best use it.
