Thread: Another Livescope ??

I have only had LS a few months but have witness some interesting behavior.
Sometimes when im vertical jigging I use a tiny jig and put a split shot about 18" above it and there has been countless times that fish will swim to the bait then come up and strike the split shot. Before I had always assumes it was just a short strike.
Other things I have seen, Fish diving 6 or more feet from above my jig and hammering it; The number of fish that are on the bottom or in the mud; The larger fish tend to stay out away from brush/structure.

You will fish..Its in our Blood..Livescope is just another tool..Fished a clear hard to catch lake full of President Holiday fishermen everywhere yesterday..Without livescope I would have went home..With a 0..10 boats fishing the same treetop..I don't get it..35,000 Acre Lake everyone wants to fish same tree...Folks they ain't going to bite....Livescope found the tree that hadn't been fished....Game changer...Not for everyone,......But a Great tool on a Tough day...

I could see so many on the depth finder that it was useless. Changing retrieves and ticks, bumps, taps, drops, and anything else you can imagine may get a fish but might not. It helped a lot in forming what I do today. For instance, a 2� lift of a bait looks unnatural and frequently won’t get bit. Now on the next cast I would drop the rod tip an inch or two, or hesitate just a split second in the retrieve of the reel, and get a rewarding thump. Touch the TM and blow the wash towards those fish and you better have something else to do for 30 minutes or so. Shut em down like throwing a switch. They wouldn’t leave but they wouldn’t eat either. TM noise was also a negative but it more depended on the noise level of the day. Windy noisy days and they weren’t near as touchy, but calm days they were real touchy. I hope to get to watch the show livescope provides one day. I wonder if I’ll stay glued to the screen or actually be able to fish some.

Really enjoying this thread, I'm too old to justify getting livescope. Thanks for all your input, very interesting.

Just curious. I told myself I would not be interested in one of these, but I’m captivated....

Are you in your death bed and no longer fish? I bought livescope last year when I was 76 and don't regret a minute of it. My kids won't get quite as much money when I die but they can take turns using my pontoon with all it's equipment. If I haven't worn it out by then, which I hope to do.

Thanks for running interference for me Jackie. I was out there too. While the crowd was encroaching on you I was all by myself.

Things I have learned with Livescope. Crappie are very easy to spook. There are usually way more down there than you would believe and or absolutely none down there were you believe there should be a wad of them. I saw the split shot bite first hand yesterday, slowly reeled up until the jig was in front of the fish and wham. For every fish that bites there are a whole lot more that just hang there with the jig touching his lips. I have seen several crappie swarm the jig and not bite. Without LS you would not know how close you were to getting bit. It helps picking colors that the fish want. You will talk to the fish trying to convince them to bite.

Just like Jackie said it was a very tough day on that lake. Without Livescope I would have continued to grind away without a whole lot of success but thanks to livescope I managed 8 really nice crappie and released about a dz small ones.

Crappie Whisperer he Whispers to the crappie.." come on bite" Lol.
