Thread: Livescope Mounting Opinions

Here are my thoughts. There are times when I want the transducer on the TM shaft, or at least turning with the TM. I use this when roaming for crappie. And I'm usually targeting single fish. But if I'm on a brush top with multiple fish on the top, I want to spot lock and I want the tranducer on a pole not turning with the TM. I want the TM earning its keep by keeping me in place and I want the tranducer pointed at the brushpile. As far as I know, and I've certainly not seen them all, All Aboard Marine is the only one that will do both.

I look at electronics this way. There is a tool for every job.
Side Imaging- Search for cover, structure, fish, etc. at about 5mph.
Down Imaging- Focus on what under me while fishing.
Mega 360- Once I find an area to explore in greater detail and maybe fish at less than 1mph. Spider rigging.
Mega Live- target specific fish on specific spots while stationary or less than 1mph.

How do you not spook fish with spot lock ? My experience has been when it kicks on fish scatter ? Depth maybe ? Are you casting to the brush top ? I was trying to sit above the brush and spook fish like crazy when Terrova kicks on . Could be water to clear as well .

So far its not been a problem. The lake I normally fish in is not clear. Its not terrible stained but def not clear. I try to set up about 15 to 18' away and i jig the spot with a 14' rod. The dept is 10' to 218'

Thats a pretty slick set up, seems very versatile. I hadn't seem that before but do like it. Thanks for the input
