    Its like an underwater camera that "sees" through even the muddiest waters. You attach the transducer to your TM shaft and you point it with your foot where you want to look. Effective range for me is about 65 feet. I can see my jig and fish to that distance. Resolution is best under 40 feet though. Here is a video I made last Saturday on a lake in Oklahoma. YouTube Air temp was 19 in the morning with a high of 34. That was the second day in a row with those temps. Water had dropped to the low to mid 40's like a rock. I was targeting single cruising fish on 10 foot flats and along the shore. Fish in this spot where 2 to 8 feet deep. Biggest fish are by themselves and much shallower than I ever would have anticipated for this time of year, but using livescope has opened my eyes to what fish are actually doing where they actually are. Fishing this winter has been spectacular for me. I am fishing using entirely different tactics and in new areas. Lately I find a flat or an area adjacent to a channel (sometimes right in the channel) using my Lowrance console finder that has scattered BIG fish, then drop the livescope and start "sniping bogies". In order to get these fish previously I would have had to spider rig, but, many days though that would not have worked either. Often I have to get the fish to turn and look at my jig and hold it in front of them still for a considerable amount of time before they bite. Some days I have to get them to turn and look a period of time then pull it away from them quickly to get a reaction bite. You have to be able to spot the fish put your jig on his nose and give him the presentation he wants. You simply need live scope to do that. By the way its not panoptics. Panoptics is live technology but with sonar images. Livescope is live technology with down or side type imaging. Check out my youtube channel for more of my livescope vids. YouTube

    This technology is amazing! I can see that angler catch and harvest rates will increase in the coming years. Once this tech becomes readily available to the masses, we (AGFC) will need to keep a close eye on mortality rates. If mortality gets too high on lakes, management actions will be needed.

    With all that said, I NEED one of those!

    I've been watching videos on the Garmin. Its incredible what you can do with it. I'm fixing to replace my Lowrance with the live scope.

    I have an interesting observation along that line. Back in January, fishing a popular spot here in Oklahoma, I noticed three out of four crappie fisherman had livescope. I fished that spot three times in 10 days. I noticed the fish are already adjusting and becoming more difficult to catch. From a fish management point of view, the species I'd be most concerned about is striped bass. Crappie repopulate quickly and there are large numbers of fish per ton of biomass. The individual striped bass are so large there are relatively few fish per ton of biomass. From personal experience, I've seen how effective this technology is with striped bass. I'm able to stand off 20 ft and put a jig on their nose and leave it there till they bite. I can literally catch 100 lb of striper, whch is a 5 fish Oklahoma limit in a half a day by targeting the largest fish in an area. It won't be long before the striper guides find this technology, then it's pretty much over if they don't change the limits.

    How do you tell the difference between a crappie and say a buffalo ? Or any similar shaped fish ?

    Also, kind of reminds me of going big buck hunting in Texas. Sitting in a fenced area while the big bucks come strolling by and the guide saying that one will cost you 2 grand if you want to take it... that one is a cull so it is only 500.

    No doubt this is the future of catching. You guys catch away. =)

    Default Garmin Livescope

    I’m waiting on the new Lowrance Live Sight. It’s 3-400 less money and the EXACT same technology. They bought the License from Garmin.

    I just got my new HDS Live units. For Carbon owners, the new update will allow you to use the LiveSight module on your HDS units. The update basically makes your Carbon a Live unit.
