Thread: Live scope question

Its boat control, its harder than people realize to sit on small objects and hold it in there. With it on a pole or seperate mount you will always be crossing the beam line at angle since trolling motor and Livescope transducer are on separate planes. Sort of like playing shape in pool, you want cue ball running into line with next shot not across the line. My tournament partner has his on separate mount too but no way I could do it like that if I ever put one on my boat.

LS to me is akin to duck huntin with a spinner.

I never said I would release fish every day . Some days don't keep any , But lots of friends ask for them . They can't understand when they ask for a mess when I release them . I seldom clean fish anymore .

I have fished with it quite a bit since the first of April. When I first started with it I was catching a few and the lake I fish most often had a pretty good stain. Since then I am not catching much at all and where I have been fishing the water has become pretty clear. I can see the trees and brush piles and the schools of shad and some big fish that I think are catfish and bass but have had very little luck with the crappie. I can't find any on trees or brush piles and I am beginning to think that it probably has some to do with the clear water. With that being said I still can't imagine that I wouldn't have ran across at least one mentally challenged crappie that would hold at least until I could see him swim away. I am still blown away every time I go out with the LS as it really still excites me to see what it is able to show. I have watched so many youtube videos with most everyone just slaying them on trees, brush piles and also just roaming fish. I am not a quitter and I will not throw in the towel. One video I watched showed an individual just slaying them right on top of a brush pile and he said as long as it is over 10 foot deep then you shouldn't spook the fish. The ones that I have found are between 15 and 25 foot deep. Still plugging away.

You also have to remember that they don't always hold on cover ... sometimes they're out in open water, following Shad schools out on the flats.

Its awesome
