Thread: Tired of Mega Live

Listened to a pod cast he was a Bass angler when Live first came out it took him a month of strictly using Livescope 8-10 hours a day for a straight 30 days to learn how to really understand and use.

I sure as heck would not give up just yet on the technology, go out for a day or two and use that time not so much to catch fish but learning how it works. When seeing a fish on the screen where and how far is that fish compared to the screen can I cast dip my bait to put it on the fish not so much about the actual bite but putting it on top of the fish you may see or even a piece of structure. Find a log laying down and see if you can cast or dip your bait and have it actually land on that log.

I agree with bricks, Any time I got a new device I spent a few trips just learning and pushing buttons. Book or PDF file in one hand and learning what I could. Pretty soon it starts coming together. I do hate wasting time doing that but take a day under high baro slow fishing and push buttons. Learning to use it will be time well spent. It's like having a smart phone and only text or call on it. It to will do much more.

I've had LS for a while now and I was teaching my grandson who's 8 how to use it. Because the screen is sideways he kept wanting to move the jig that away. Once he got use to moving it forward and backwards he's got it now. Just takes seat time and if you have a friend that is good with it he can shorten your learning curve.

Hummingbird just released an update that supposed to help with lure tracking. They also recommended new sensitivity and contrast settings to start with and then adjust from that midpoint. Maybe it will help with jig tracking while you're learning to use the unit

Where is this update and how do install it in the mega live? Also the settings ?

Will do the update. Thanks for the info

If you go to the humminbird website, I believe under accessories you will see the update for your unit. There's also a short video to watch that gives you the Baseline for your new settings but of course depending on your water those settings will be changed. It will also give you step-by-step instructions on the update procedure
